Only milestones Blizzard has officially announced. Dates are shown exactly as Blizzard phrased them — a season stays a season, and “after launch” is never turned into a date.
The World of Warcraft: Forever beta, included with the Skyborne Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection or by opt-in selection.
✓Players who opted in can be selected; Skyborne Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection purchasers gain access.
✓Skyborne and Zephras Isle; Hall of Thanes (13–18); Ruins of Lordaeron (15–20); all zone content up to level 20.
✓Starts at 20 and is raised to 30 later in the beta.
✓Raised to 30 with the October 1 beta build.

✓Dungeon quests now give 50% less extra experience beyond normal quest values (October 1 beta build).
✓Additional zones, dungeons and the new battleground open for testing; a “Server Slam” opens access to anyone for several hours.
?Server Slam date. — Not officially confirmed by Blizzard.
✓One article (“Carve a New Path”) gives the time as 3:00 p.m. PDT; the other official articles say PST. Pacific Time is on PST on November 4, 2026, so the countdown uses 3:00 p.m. PST (23:00 UTC).
More raids, dungeons, PvP updates, world content and quests
Date: Not officially confirmed by Blizzard.
After the December 9 raids, the roadmap continues with more raids, dungeons, PvP updates, world content, additional quests throughout 1–60, and major updates.
