On September 24, 2026, Blizzard launched a weekly podcast for Forever. The first episode is dedicated to the beta launch and the team's initial observations; in the studio are Aggrend, Tim Jones, and content creators Countdown To Classic and Xaryu.

What this podcast is

World of Warcraft: Forever now has its own weekly podcast from Blizzard. The first episode went out on September 24, 2026 — a week after the open beta kicked off (beta: 17.09–21.10.2026, release — 04.11.2026 23:00 UTC). The format is announced as recurring, with new episodes every week.

Who's in the studio

The first episode features senior game designer Josh "Aggrend" Greenfield and principal classic designer Tim Jones. They're joined by guest content creators Countdown To Classic and Xaryu.

Episode topic

The announced theme of the first installment is the beta launch and the developers' first observations of how players received Forever. We don't have a detailed breakdown of the content in our sources yet: there's only the official announcement of the lineup and topic. We'll cover the individual topics — Skyborne, server layers, leveling pace, loot — in separate articles once transcripts or written beta recaps are available.

In practice

• The podcast releases weekly; to catch the episode with beta details, follow Blizzard announcements and updates on YouWoW Forever.
• This piece announces the format, not the content: once a transcript drops, we'll publish a separate article on each topic instead of cramming everything into one.
