The World of Warcraft team took to the stage at BlizzCon 2026 to reveal Talebound, share updates on the next chapter of Midnight, including content update 12.1.5 and Eclipse, and offer a look at what’s ahead for Midnight Season 3, Housing, and beyond.
Could we get some pictures of the new paladin mounts? I think I saw the darkspear one during the presentation, but not clearly.
Why was Blizzard’s most popular game property, Retail WoW, given only a 45-minute time slot but was ended due to “running out of time” after only 35 minutes?
Do you guys truly understand how many of your customers waited most of the day for solid information about what was coming next, only to find out that most of it couldn’t be talked about, and how depressing that is? I mean, come on…
because they had nothing else to say? wow forever was the main focus of this blizzcon and honestly I think it might be bigger than retail
Can we get Paladin, Shaman, and heritage armor for Dracthyr?
So… what about playable Amani?
WOW! Retail will be eating good!
So glad they put so much focus on us! Go Blizz!
I don’t think you or even Blizzard realize how many of us Retail players do not care about Classic+ at all. We expected exciting news and teases about the future, and instead all we got was a basic patch reveal.
Guess my main is going Night Elf.
You mean Xal opening up that door while shooing away a random titan guardian with a hand flip didn’t give your goosebumps?
Goooooosebumps!
Patches are future content. What else were you expecting?
A feature reveal for TLT, sharing everything that’s non-story related.
I’ve never ever cared about classic. I’m fully retail, however wow forever has seriously got my attention.
It’s a chance to do wow over, and actually release a Warcraft 4 and move the franchise into a direction they want. They clearly lost their goals over time and had to keep scraping things together.
This is a reboot of wow while retail keeps going. Again, I’m fully retail, but this is different. It’s why they released new wc3 content
It’s too early for that. We’ve only just started season 2 of midnight! But we had a teaser trailer at least. Wyrmrest temple and icecrown were shown, which have both been predicted as possible main hubs. So that’s neat. And a giant titan construct seemingly attacking. So that’s intriguing! Titans as enemies? Maybe!
Likewise.
I’m not a fan of nostalgia… like playing the same thing I played 15+ years ago, that’s why I never touched any of the Classic titles.
Season of Discovery would be interesting for me, but it being a ‘temporary’ game and the lack of transmog didn’t really make it feel like it was something for me.
Forever basically gives me all of the elements that made me averse to the Classic versions of the game, so I’m sold. At least for now.
For story details it is, but not for feature details.
Starting with content update 12.2.5, players will be able to transmog gear across armor types without restriction. Get ready to create new looks and expand your collection of appearances when the 12.2.5 content update arrives.
What about class sets and weapon restrictions?
I’m intrigued enough by what they’re offering with wow forever I might come back to play it in November. I got burned out on wow and needed a break a few months ago, but I was paid up until October. Once I take a break it can last years before I get the desire to dive into the game again.
Upgrade now to get into beta… LOL.
Milk Milk Milk…..
Could you expand the models for mannequins a bit? Like at least make a stone version alongside the wood. Maybe another model or two as well.
Happy that players will be able to show off their appearances soon! Thank you.
