  "summary": "Blizzard is working on a new World of Warcraft game called World of Warcraft: Forever. It will be set in the game's first year, 2004, with a level cap of 60. The game will explore new parts of Azeroth and tell stories that weren't told during the original progression.\n\nWorld of Warcraft: Forever will include new content for players of all levels, not just those at the maximum level. According to PC Gamer, three new zones will be added, and several existing zones will be overhauled to fill in gaps in the vanilla map. Nine new dungeons and two new raids will also be included.\n\nThe game's approach is similar to that of Old School RuneScape, which has successfully used a similar strategy. World of Warcraft: Forever will also introduce new features, including a new race, the Skyborne Elves, and new race/class combinations, such as Forsaken paladins and orc mages.",
