Blizzard has no plans to add modern WoW races to WoW: Forever
Blizzard says it has no plans to add races from modern World of Warcraft expansions to WoW: Forever.
That means players should not expect races such as Vulpera or Goblins to be added for now.
The game follows its own continuity, separate from the story of modern WoW.
Its team says it will build on the original Warcraft games and tell stories suited to this version of the world.
The developers also say the game will begin with more grounded stakes, where players are one hero among many rather than the central hero.
Blizzard has not ruled out visiting places introduced in later expansions, but says it wants to create WoW: Forever versions of those places instead of repeating their modern WoW stories.
The team has not announced plans to add modern expansion races later.
