Watch the World of Warcraft live Q&A now

Blizzard gathered questions for members of the World of Warcraft development team, who answer them in a recorded live Q&A now available to watch.

The discussion offers insight into the BlizzCon 2026 reveals and a look at what is ahead for modern WoW and WoW Forever.

The World of Warcraft: Forever beta is now live

Players are invited into the World of Warcraft: Forever beta to explore a reimagined original Azeroth. Blizzard describes a world where familiar roads lead to new discoveries, the journey matters as much as the destination, and the world is ready to grow for years to come.

Over the course of the test, Blizzard will invite community veterans, press, fansites, friends, and family to try out what is ahead and share their feedback.

Midnight Season 3 dungeon pool preview

The Midnight Season 3 dungeon pool was announced during the Midnight: What's Next panel at BlizzCon 2026. The development team now provides an early look at some of the changes coming to these returning dungeons.

Blizzard states this is just the beginning and looks forward to continued feedback as planning for Midnight Season 3 and its new challenges continues.

Corruption calls with the Abyssal Crown Collection

The Abyssal Crown Collection draws on the Void, where Blizzard says beauty twists into physical manifestations in the lightless depths, and corruption calls louder the deeper one descends.

The collection lets players cloak themselves in Azshara's corrupted regalia and ride a Zothwing mount touched by the Void. The complete collection is available in one bundle, or cosmetic items can be purchased individually from the shop.
