This proposed &#8220;WoW Classic Plus&#8221; wouldn&#8217;t follow the timeline of updates the original MMO did, but veer off in a new direction as if it were a modern game\u2014much like Old School Runescape.<\/p>\n<p>With no major WoW Classic releases announced, WoW Classic Plus believers are convinced their time is almost here. Blizzard recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/classic\/news\/did-blizzard-invite-streamers-to-test-classic-last-week-381568\">invited<\/a> a bunch of well known WoW Classic creators to California for something none of them can talk about until an NDA is lifted. As far as I can tell, this hasn&#8217;t happened before and is, at the very least, compelling evidence that Blizzard is working on something that isn&#8217;t just another expansion re-release.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I did just get approval to say that I will be gone a little bit next week,&#8221; WoW creator Xaryu said during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/xaryu\/clip\/SparklySmilingBorkPupper-6L5xy2msxenjIXfX\">recent Twitch stream<\/a>, smiling as his chat exploded with &#8220;Classic+&#8221; messages. &#8220;Because I am visiting Blizzard next week\u2014good news\u2014for something that I cannot say, but I will be there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If it wasn&#8217;t for the fact that Blizzard specifically picked WoW streamers who focus on WoW Classic, like Sodapoppin and Esfand, I would&#8217;ve written this off as wishful thinking. But you don&#8217;t invite these people to see the next release of an old expansion early. It might not be Classic Plus, but it&#8217;s gotta be something new.<\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"\" height=\"378\" width=\"620\" id=\"\" style=\"\" class=\"position-center\" data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/clips.twitch.tv\/embed?clip=SparklySmilingBorkPupper-6L5xy2msxenjIXfX&#038;parent=www.pcgamer.com\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Even though Blizzard has never said it&#8217;s working on a WoW Classic Plus, there have been a couple signs that it&#8217;s interested in doing more with WoW Classic as a format. Chinese players currently have access to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/wotlk\/news\/what-chinas-new-titan-reforged-servers-could-mean-for-classic-377771\">version of WoW Classic<\/a> that remixes old raids, and it doesn&#8217;t seem to have an expiration date. And a 2025 wrap-up post teased that the team has been &#8220;cooking on the long-term future of WoW Classic,&#8221; with a bunch of plus signs drawn below it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible the streamers are seeing the result of Blizzard&#8217;s only WoW Classic Plus-like release, Season of Discovery. A seasonal version of the MMO that let you bend the rules with things like healing mages and tanking warlocks, Season of Discovery was an exaggerated version of the old MMO that didn&#8217;t quite satisfy people who want a permanent version with new material. However, Season of Discovery&#8217;s surprise success could&#8217;ve sparked Blizzard to start working on a Classic Plus for real.<\/p>\n<p>Given how much nostalgia there is for playing with WoW&#8217;s old systems in its old world through the likes of WoW Remix and Season of Discovery, I think a WoW Classic Plus, be it limited-time or permanent, is inevitable. BlizzCon is in September, which makes this seem like the perfect time to start teasing a new-ish version of WoW.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"e33f0800-29e6-4ae7-84ec-67e13eb03914\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/world-of-warcraft-classic-plus-a-version-of-the-old-mmo-with-modern-updates-might-actually-be-real-as-blizzard-hosts-secret-event-with-popular-streamers.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"e33f0800-29e6-4ae7-84ec-67e13eb03914\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/world-of-warcraft\/world-of-warcraft-classic-plus-a-version-of-the-old-mmo-with-modern-updates-might-actually-be-real-as-blizzard-hosts-secret-event-with-popular-streamers\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Blizzard released World of Warcraft Classic (and maybe even before), players have been begging for it to take a version of the old MMO and experiment with it.
