WoW Forever has officially arrived—and we have plenty to say about it.
In this episode of Warcraft Brew, Quissy and Pasta react to the BlizzCon 2026 reveal and share their honest first impressions after playing the WoW Forever beta. We discuss what works, what needs improvement, and whether WoW Forever feels like the future Classic WoW players have been waiting for.
Topics include the Skyborne content, new quests and dungeons, professions, class changes, environments, art design, character models, layering, gear progression, shared mob tagging, and several of the beta’s biggest new features.
