IGN Articles.

BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony is over, and it did not disappoint, with huge announcements for StarCraft, Diablo, and Warcraft.

Highlights include the confirmation of StarCraft, an open-world shooter due out in… 2030! Before then, in 2029, we’ll get Diablo 5. We also got the shadow-drop of a brand new campaign for Warcraft 3, and the announcement of World of Warcraft: Forever, due out in November.

Elsewhere, we have confirmation of a Diablo animated show for Netflix, a new hero for Overwatch, and a surprise new hero for Heroes of the Storm. Yep, there was a lot packed into Opening Ceremony, which will be followed by various panels that go into more detail on all the announcements.

That’s a wrap!

Holly Longdale brought BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony to a close by running through the big announcements and hyping up the crowd. It was certainly a news heavy Blizzcon – perhaps the biggest for future game reveals ever. Diablo 5 and the Warcraft 3 campaign certainly came as a huge shock. We all knew the StarCraft shooter was going to make an appearance due to various leaks, but it was still exciting to see the trailer. And how about World of Warcraft: Forever?

Let us know what you thought of Blizzcon 2026 Opening Ceremony in the comments, and stick with IGN for even more news from the event.

World of Warcraft: Forever announcement closes out BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony

Blizzard brought BlizzCon 2026’s Opening Ceremony to an end with the announcement of World of Warcraft: Forever, which launches November 4, 2026. The beta starts this Thursday. Longdale called it Classic Plus, on-stage.

World of Warcraft: forever is your new permanent home, and never ends, Longdale said. This is another way to play WoW that’s friendly, familiar, and new, and will live alongside modern and classic. The world is the main character. Instead of one big heroic story, you carve your own path. It’s also dedicated to community. There’s no rush here: it’s the journey that counts, not the destination.

Forever is easy to get into and play but deep enough to play forever, Longdale added. It gets back to the heart of MMOs and what makes them so special.

There new zones, new dungeons, new raids (10 and 20 players), new skills and talents, a new race (Skyborne) and class combinations, a new battleground, and over 1,000 new quests. There’s even an SD/HD visuals toggle and a graphical overhaul.

In terms of the timeline and setting, this is Year 1 of Vanilla WoW, but the future is untold. It sounds to me a bit like a soft reboot. Players will level up to 60 and stay at 60 indefinitely. We don’t want to race ahead and leave our accomplishments, our gear, and our friends behind, Longdale said. But there will be content updates.
