- Quick Answer: World of Warcraft: Forever raids unlock on December 9, 2026, introducing three new endgame instances: Barrow Deeps (10-man), Hyjal Summit (20-man), and Onyxia's Lair (40-man).
Rather than reusing the traditional vanilla Classic raids, World of Warcraft: Forever is debuting a new, fresh endgame lineup.
As of now, there are no raids available, as the game is still in beta. In fact, we won't be getting raids even when the game officially launches on November 4. Instead, raids will go live five weeks after the game's launch, on December 9, 2026.
Here's everything you need to know about the new raids, party sizes, and more in World of Warcraft: Forever.
All New Raids in World of Warcraft: Forever
World of Warcraft: Forever will feature three new original raids. Each one has a different raid size and number of bosses to fight.
Here are the new upcoming raids for World of Warcraft: Forever:
- Barrow Deeps
- Hyjal Summit
- Onyxia's Lair
Barrow Deeps is a 10-player raid with eight bosses. Located in Mount Hyjal, Barrow Deeps is for entry-level max-tier 10-man groups. For those who are eyeing fast progression, this is the raid to go with.
Hyjal Summit is a 20-player raid with 13 bosses. It is also located in Mount Hyjal and is the flagship level 60 raid. Tier sets will drop from this raid battle.
Lastly, Onyxia's Lair is a 40-player raid with one boss. This raid can be found in Dustwallow Marsh and is the classic 40-player boss encounter.
