On September 25, 2026 at 12:59 PM, Blizzard briefly took the Forever beta offline to roll out stability fixes, community manager Kaivax wrote in a blue post.

The Forever beta went down for a short restart on September 25, 2026. At 12:59 PM, community manager Kaivax wrote in a blue post that the beta had to be taken offline and relaunched in order to deploy fixes meant to address stability issues, with the maintenance itself being "very short."

The restart was meant to begin within minutes of the message. Both regions — American and European — received the notification almost simultaneously: the EU forum thread appeared 20 seconds later, so the realm downtime and the comeback happened in the same window.
