Forever's roadmap: content in sequence with the original raids, Hyjal Summit beside a 40 player Onyxia's Lair, and new classes not ruled out
World of Warcraft
Blizzard's Forever roadmap ships new dungeons, raids, world content and PvP season refreshes in sequence with the original game: the 20 player Hyjal Summit launches alongside the 40 player Onyxia's Lair. Riding, PvP and gamepad updates and a new legendary were also listed, and new classes are not off the table. Hardcore is coming to Forever too.
Blizzard closed the World of Warcraft: Forever What's Next panel with a roadmap it summed up as fast paced production for a slow paced game. New dungeons, raids, expanded world content and PvP season refreshes arrive in sequence with the original game's content: the 20 player Hyjal Summit launches alongside the 40 player Onyxia's Lair, which also confirms raid content for several group sizes from day one.
The panel added a short list of further changes before the roadmap: an updated PvP system, riding skill updates, a new legendary and gamepad support.
Forever is being built for the long term, and Blizzard said nothing is off the table, not even new classes. In that spirit Hardcore is coming to World of Warcraft: Forever as well, with its own Deep Dive panel on Sunday (WoW Hardcore: What's Next, 4:15 PM PT). Sunday's Forever Deep Dive at 10:00 AM PT is the next scheduled Forever session.
