Below is a closer look at what Blizzard has planned for the year ahead.
Retail WoW roadmap 2026: Midnight
2026 is set to be the year of Midnight, with several major dates already confirmed.
Besides that we’ve finally took a glance what lies beyond Midnight release. Blizzard has already teased us with Midnight Season 2 coming this Summer.
In short, Midnight roadmap 2026 includes:
- Turbulent Timeways is set to return in patches 12.0.7 and 12.1.7.
- A new Delve-style activity, Labyrinth, is coming in patch 12.1.5.
- New 1-boss raids are planned for patches 12.0.7 and 12.1.7.
WoW Midnight raid schedule
Midnight Season 2 will introduce only one raid, currently we don’t have any dates on The Venomous Abyss schedule.
WoW Classic roadmap 2026
Let’s overview main WoW 2026 events of Classic realms.
WoW MoP roadmap 2026
Mists of Pandaria Classic is already in Phase 5: The Siege of Orgrimmar. There is currently no information on whether Blizzard will follow it up with a release of Warlords of Draenor Classic or keep the Classic servers as they are.
WoW Classic Anniversary roadmap 2026: Burning Crusade
The main event of Classic re-releases in 2026 is Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary.
- TBC Anniversary launches February 5: With prepatch arriving January 13.
- There are some changes for Anniversary release of Burning Crusade, check them out!
WoW Camelot: Classic+
Finally, let’s overview what is probably Blizzard’s most anticipated release. Things have changed a bit since we first discussed the possibility of Classic+. In short, the WoW Roadmap 2026 doesn’t feature any direct hints at either WoW Classic+ or WoW Camelot.
However, some players speculate that alongside retail announcements and a possible Warlords of Draenor Classic reveal, Blizzard could also announce Classic+. That said, Classic+ remains entirely unconfirmed, with only a few vague hints and leaks appearing here and there.
Some of the hints surrounding WoW Camelot’s release include:
- Dataminers gathering information on Heroic and Epic Editions of WoW Camelot, with it reportedly being Patch 1.60 of the game.
- A deleted photo of a WoW content plan that included many other projects as well. (Very unlikely.)
- Blizzard’s active opposition to third-party WoW servers, including the ban of Turtle WoW and several other servers.
Note
If you’re wondering what Classic+ is, in short it’s a community-driven concept of a hypothetical expanded version of WoW Classic, featuring quality-of-life improvements and expanded plateu of content. However, the exact details vary widely, as different players have very different ideas of what Classic+ should look like.
The closest Blizzard has come to this concept so far is Season of Discovery. It introduced the Rune system, new raids and dungeons, and numerous QoL features. It even turned the long-cut Scarlet Crusade raid into fully playable content.
And that’s a wrap! If you’re finding certain activities tough to keep up with, or planning to take a break for the holidays, don’t worry about falling behind. WoW Carry can help you stay on track and keep your progress moving, even while you’re away.
