The name World of Warcraft Camelot appeared in reporting about datamined Blizzard services, leading to widespread speculation about “Classic Plus” or even a “World of Warcraft 2.” Those interpretations were not interchangeable with an official announcement.

What has been reported

PC Gamer reported in June 2026 that dataminers found references to a World of Warcraft branch called Camelot, including multiple license editions. The report connected the branch with versioning associated with the Classic code line.

That is evidence that an internal product or branch exists under the name. A codename and commerce metadata do not, by themselves, establish its final title, features, story, business model or release date.

What Blizzard had confirmed before the reveal

Blizzard's published BlizzCon 2026 schedule includes two “World of Warcraft: What's Next” sessions on September 12, described as previews of upcoming adventures, features and updates. The schedule does not name Camelot, Classic Plus or World of Warcraft 2.

At the time of the original pre-reveal briefing, RealmList treated the following claims as unconfirmed:

• Camelot is the public name of a new game.
• Camelot is a direct sequel called World of Warcraft 2.
• It is a permanent Classic Plus realm with a specific feature set.
• Any leaked release date, price or edition contents are final.

Why the distinction matters

Datamining is useful evidence, but internal branches are routinely renamed, changed or never released. Reporting should preserve the difference between an observed identifier, a journalist's interpretation and a publisher announcement.

Blizzard has since announced Forever. That does not retroactively verify every leaked roadmap or establish that the codename was a public title. Use the linked reveal briefing for current information and read anonymous feature lists as claims unless they have matching publisher documentation.
