During the 2026 State of Azeroth presentation, Blizzard's executive producer, Holly Longdale, hinted at significant content updates for Classic WoW. Although interrupted before revealing details, the community is increasingly hopeful for a potential 'Classic+' experience that could enhance the Original World of Warcraft's nostalgic feel with new features. This buzz is compounded by a community initiative called 'The Classic+ Project', which aims to gather player opinions on desired changes and additions. With Blizzcon approaching, players are eager for an official announcement regarding the future of Classic WoW and the potential new content that may be on the horizon.

What is "Classic+" for World of Warcraft?

"Classic+" is a fan-driven concept aimed at creating new updates and content for Classic World of Warcraft, inspired by community desires for enhanced gameplay similar to Old School RuneScape. It represents a way to evolve Classic WoW while still maintaining its core experience, allowing players to enjoy fresh content while reminiscing about the game they love.

World of Warcraft, launched in 2004, revolutionized MMORPGs and quickly amassed millions of subscribers. Its Classic version, released in 2019, brought back the nostalgic experience of the game's early years. This unique approach allows longtime fans and new players alike to explore the original gameplay mechanics, forging a vibrant community eager for ongoing development and enhancements.
