World of Warcraft Forever Will be the Easiest Way into WoW in 20 Years

World of Warcraft: Forever, an expanded version of the classic 2004 game, is set to release on November 4. According to TechSpot, it will offer a setting and gameplay dynamics similar to the original, while introducing new content and storylines. The game is Blizzard's answer to fans who have been clamoring for a Classic+ version of the original title.

The new MMORPG will serve as the third permanent version of the game, alongside Modern (Retail) and Classic. It expands the original level 1-60 bracket with new content, including over 1,000 new quests, nine new dungeons, and two new raids. Four new playable zones will be introduced: Zephras Isle, Mount Hyjal, Riverglades, and Shen'dralas. The Skyborne elf race will begin its journey in Zephras Isle.

Polygon reports that World of Warcraft: Forever will have some quality-of-life improvements, new features, and upgraded visuals. It will also include a few radical modernizations not found in the modern version of WoW. Online talent calculators have already been assembled, allowing players to plan their characters. According to PC Gamer, some of the new talents include Arms warriors' Searing Strike and Retribution paladins' Holy Twist.
