Beta: World of Warcraft: Forever is in beta testing. These notes cover beta builds, and changes can be revised before release.
All 4 official beta updates we track, newest first, from Sep 22, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026. Hotfixes and minor updates that Blizzard Entertainment posted separately are listed as their own entries.
Blizzard restarted the World of Warcraft: Forever beta realms on October 6 to apply some priority fixes. One fix is intended to restore quest items that should restock in chests but had gone missing, and others address occasional disconnects on elevators and transports and an error when joining or leaving a guild.
The second World of Warcraft: Forever beta build raises the level cap to 30 and adds the new Excavation Site: Wetlands dungeon, with Razorfen Downs and Uldaman now open too. Fury Warriors get a large talent rework, Druid forms become immune to Disarm, and dungeon quests give 50% less bonus experience after feedback on leveling speed.
The first big round of World of Warcraft: Forever beta development notes tunes every class, with a damage boost for Holy Strike Paladins, longer Fire Mage buffs and Shaman totems that no longer stack. It also fixes many bugs, adds the Cooldown Manager and more gamepad options for testing, and speeds up respawns for many leveling quests.
This is a small beta client update for World of Warcraft: Forever (version 1.60.1, build 69977) that Blizzard asks beta testers to download to test a few fixes. It fixes some display and stability issues on Macs and makes gamepad play smoother on the character selection screen and with items that start quests.
