On September 24, 2026, community manager Kaivax opened the "Beta Development Notes" thread on the official World of Warcraft: Forever forum — that's where patch notes for the closed beta testing get posted.

The source calls it "Beta Development Notes" — this is where Blizzard publishes patch notes throughout the beta.

On September 24, 2026, at 5:41 PM UTC, Kaivax opened the thread with the post "Beta is Up - Development Notes Posted." The entry appeared in Blue Tracker EU at 5:41 PM UTC and in Blue Tracker US at 5:43 PM UTC.

The Forever beta runs from September 17 to October 21, 2026, with the game's release scheduled for November 4, 2026 at 11:00 PM UTC.

In practice:

— The thread is official: it's run by a Blizzard community manager, and posts are confirmed through Blue Tracker. — If you're taking part in the beta, it's worth checking this thread — that's where the team posts patch notes.
