All changes

Percent values share one scale; cooldowns are in seconds. A shorter cooldown is a buff. Changes are from the Oct 15 build unless noted.

Announced at BlizzCon on Sept 12, 2026 (the "Classic Plus" everyone wanted). A permanent version of the 2004 game with new content on top, built to live at level 60 forever alongside modern and Classic WoW. Included with a normal subscription or game time; optional upgrade packs add cosmetics.

12.1.5 added the single‑boss raid The Unbinding of Kith'ix, the nine‑chamber Labyrinth of Kindo'jan, hourly Aqir Invasion events, and the campaign chapter The Promise of Tomorrow. Ten classes changed; Devourer and Void‑Scarred Demon Hunters got the biggest rework. Early reception was mixed: Labyrinth wing resets and disconnects, and a Rexxar cosmetic was pulled over texture bugs.
