WoW: Forever Content Updates Will Come Slower Than You Might Expect

Developer Blizzard's new version of its flagship MMORPG, World of Warcraft: Forever , will receive content updates "every four months," avoiding modern WoW's somewhat controversial eight-week patch cycle. In an interview with IGN , Forever principal game designer Kris Zierhut revealed the content schedule plan and explained Blizzard's reasoning. He said WoW Classic's Season of Discovery received updates "way too fast," every 8-10 weeks. Since the launch of WoW's Dragonflight expansion in 2022, an eight-week update schedule is also what modern WoW operates on.
