World of Warcraft: Forever launches on November 4 for PC players, offering a return to a world reminiscent of the 2004 original while adding new stories, locations, and features. The experience is included with a current subscription and requires no additional purchase.
Players will revisit the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor alongside classic races such as humans, orcs, elves, trolls, and dwarfs. New additions include the Skyborne, an elf race inhabiting the floating Zephras Isle, plus fresh areas in the Riverglades and Mount Hyjal. Class combinations have also been revamped, allowing options like a Forsaken Paladin.
Gamepad (Alpha) support can be enabled through the Options menu, which swaps on-screen icons to match controller buttons. Combat cycles actions using the controller's Triggers and Bumpers, and a ping system activated by holding the right analog stick issues party commands such as Attack, Warning, On My Way, and Assist.
Controller use on handheld devices is possible, including on an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally running Windows 11, though this setup is not officially supported and requires navigating via touchscreen and onscreen keyboard. Blizzard recommends a modern Xbox Wireless Controller for the best icon mapping, and notes that keyboard or voice chat remains preferable for player communication.
