The latest edition of World of Warcraft, titled "Forever," has shattered records as the most successful launch in the MMO's history, according to Blizzard. The game launched on November 4th, and within days, it had outperformed any previous WoW launch in terms of concurrent players. This accomplishment was celebrated on social media by Blizzard, who expressed gratitude to the players for making history together.
Holly Longdale, executive producer and World of Warcraft vice president, added that "Forever" not only brought back lapsed players but also attracted the most new players for a WoW launch in 15 years. She invited everyone to experience Azeroth for the first time alongside other players who were experiencing it for the first time again.
Blizzard's confirmation of "Forever" came after fans noticed color hints labeled as "wow 2" on the company's website, leading to speculation about the game being a revival of the popular World of Warcraft Classic Plus. However, Blizzard has not disclosed the exact player numbers yet. The game's first hotfix patch, which addressed a significant PvP bug favoring the Horde, was released on Friday.
