Expectations for 'Classic+' are rising among World of Warcraft players. The topic, which began gaining traction following recent invitations of overseas influencers to the Blizzard campus, has since drawn significant attention as more details have emerged.

Nothing has been officially confirmed regarding Classic+. However, players have noted that the influencers who visited Blizzard headquarters are key creators within the Classic community. While they have not disclosed the specific purpose of their visit, speculation is high that it was related to Classic+. Some participants even alluded to Classic+ in their personal broadcasts afterward.

Blizzard's recent actions are also being interpreted as significant. The crackdown on private servers running Classic+-style content, combined with surveys previously sent to players regarding their expectations for such a mode, has fueled rumors that groundwork for an official announcement is already underway. The weight of these rumors is further bolstered by a broadcast earlier this year on the state of Azeroth, which teased a major Classic announcement for 2026.

The community is abuzz with various predictions about Classic+. Some speculate that it will not follow the existing expansion sequence, but instead feature an alternate history where the Dark Portal never opened in The Burning Crusade, allowing for a new story to unfold on the original continents of Azeroth. Others expect it to launch on separate servers, with many predicting that the level cap will remain at 60 while previously unimplemented regions from the original game are finally added.

As these are merely rumors, no official announcement has been made. Many fans believe that information regarding Classic+ will be revealed at BlizzCon 2026, which will be held in Anaheim, California, starting September 12. Whether Warcraft fans will receive a new gift this year remains to be seen.
