October 9–11 at PAX Aus in Melbourne, World of Warcraft: Forever lead Holly Longdale and game director Clay Stone will deliver a story keynote and an in-depth breakdown of one of the new dungeons.

World of Warcraft: Forever is coming to PAX Aus 2026: from Friday, October 9 through Sunday, October 11 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time, AEDT), project lead Holly Longdale and game director Clay Stone will take the stage. The main event is a public presentation of one of the new Forever dungeons.

What's on stage

• Storytime Keynote. Holly Longdale delivers a story-focused keynote on Forever.
• Dungeon Deep Dive. Clay Stone breaks down one of the new dungeons — mechanics, boss lineup, and rewards.

Blizzard hasn't announced the exact keynote time yet — only that the event will run between Friday and Sunday. Keep an eye on the Forever Codex and blue posts on the forums for schedule updates.

Full Forever booth program

• Developer Meet-and-Greet & Signing Session — meet the devs and get autographs. Friday, October 9 only.
• World of Warcraft: Forever Experience — a play area on the booth where you can try a build with a PAX-exclusive.
• PAX Aus Pinny Arcade pin — a commemorative pin for the show, available Friday through Sunday.

All three run across the three days of the show, but autographs are day one only.

In practice

• Where to watch. Based on the announcement title — "Watch … Live from PAX Aus" — the presentations will be streamed. Links will appear on the Forever Codex and Blizzard's official social channels.
• Time zone. PAX Aus runs on AEDT (UTC+11). That means the show runs during European and American night and morning hours: Friday, October 9 in Melbourne kicks off on Thursday, October 8 at 13:00 UTC, and Sunday, October 11 wraps up at 13:00 UTC.
• The signing session is for those in Melbourne only. Autographs happen on Friday, October 9 at the booth; the keynote is expected to stream — the signing session is not.
