BlizzCon 2026: World of Warcraft Forever encouraged Blizzard to ‘go again!’ with its hardcore mode
Blizzard Entertainment announced at BlizzCon 2026 that World of Warcraft Forever will receive its own hardcore mode, inspired by Diablo II's single-life challenge. This mode, which will launch several months after the game, will feature enhanced preparation mechanics, character protection against lag, and the ability to transfer fallen characters to other realms with earned legacy points. The developers aim to offer a more 'pure' and 'fair' way to play the game, drawing parallels to roguelike design.
