In episode 7 of the WoW: Forever Podcast, Josh “Aggrend” Greenfield spoke about how the story of the Riverglades played out for the Horde. In the explanation of how players team up with a local clan of Ogres, he said the following:

Josh “Aggrend” Greenfield: It’s always good when the Horde makes new allies, like Ogres. You know, that’s cool. It’s always cool to have Ogre allies, right?
This is a huge revelation. Many people had speculated on what races might come in WoW Classic+ before Forever was announced, and common races were Naga, Murlocs, and of course Ogres. Hearing Aggrend not-so-subtle tease about playable Ogres coming to WoW Forever is extremely exciting for players who have been longing for this big-bodied race since 2004.
That is unfortunately all the details they gave us. There was no word on when we can expect the new race, how they will be introduced in the story, or how much you will have to pay to play one (I’m sorry to bring it up, but it will most likely be behind a paywall).
Until we have more information on the timeline of playable Ogres, Plate wearers can play pretend with a new set from the Krol’dok Stronghold dungeon, which transforms you into an Ogre for a short time. You can read more about that set on the link below.
