Blizzard's World of Warcraft: Forever Grew From 4 Dungeons to 9
Associate production director Clay Stone says the original internal pitch for World of Warcraft: Forever was four new dungeons before the scope expanded.
Blizzard's original internal pitch for World of Warcraft: Forever called for four new dungeons, but the scope grew to six and then nine, associate production director Clay Stone said in an interview with PC Gamer.
World of Warcraft: Forever layers new quests and new dungeons on top of the Classic world. A beta for the release has been running.
The game is set to arrive in November.
How the project took shape
The current plan follows earlier Classic releases that made smaller changes and adjustments, including Mists of Pandaria Classic and Wrath of the Lich King Classic. Season of Discovery, which shipped in November 2023, drew an immediate, strong response that led to discussions about a non-seasonal version, while Hardcore and Season of Discovery served as testing grounds for what changes players would accept in the vanilla-era space.
