In an interview published October 11, Blizzard said it has no current plans to add races from later World of Warcraft expansions. The developers described Forever as a separate continuity built primarily from foundational Warcraft lore and the events following the Warcraft III: Forsaken Kingdom campaign.
What the comments mean
- Races such as Vulpera and Haranir should not be expected based on current plans; Blizzard also specifically mentioned Goblins among races not planned from later expansions.
- The team wants the story to feel grounded, with players as one hero in a larger world rather than the singular center of every major event.
- Later-expansion locations are not categorically ruled out, but Blizzard said any future versions would be reimagined for Forever rather than copied directly from modern WoW.
Keep the wording precise
“No plans at this time” is not a permanent promise that a feature will never happen. It describes the team's current direction as reported in the interview. Skyborne's dual-faction design is a separate topic and should not be treated as evidence that all future races will work the same way.
