Which Forever Pre-Order Edition Should I Buy?

Forever launches on November 4th, 2026, with a seven-day headstart on name reservations. Although Forever base edition is free with your WoW subscription, there are plenty of benefits to purchase a pre-order edition.

If you only care about the cosmetic rewards available from pre-ordering but do not care about participating in the Forever beta test, the Skyborne Heroic Pack is the one for you.

If you want additional rewards for other games and access to the Forever beta test, then you will want the Skyborne Epic Pack.

If you also want access to the new Warcraft III Reforged campaign, Forsaken Kingdom, then go for the Warcraft Forever Collection.

Important Note!

You can always just purchase the Skyborne Heroic Pack, then purchase a more expensive (paying only the difference) if you like the game mode and would like the extra pre-order rewards.

Key Dates

Here are some key dates to take into consideration when choosing your pre-order:

Beta Access Start: September 17, 2026

Is Pre-Ordering Worth It?
