In June 2026, dataminer Stiven found license entries for "World of Warcraft Camelot" on Blizzard's servers — including Heroic and Epic editions, hinting at a purchasable product. The community overwhelmingly believes it's the long-rumored WoW "Classic+" — new content built on the vanilla foundation, in the spirit of Old School RuneScape. With BlizzCon in September 2026, a reveal may be close.
For years, WoW players have begged for "Classic+" — a version of vanilla WoW that keeps growing with fresh content instead of marching toward the old expansions. The Camelot leak is the strongest sign yet that Blizzard is finally building it. Here's what we actually know.
What the leak shows
- The name: "World of Warcraft Camelot," found in Blizzard's server-side license data in June 2026.
- Multiple editions: Heroic and Epic license entries — the kind of tiered structure Blizzard uses for a purchasable release, not a free patch.
- Timing: a release window in the leak lines up with a possible reveal around BlizzCon 2026.
Why everyone thinks it's "Classic+"
The theory — dubbed "Classic Plus" by hopeful players for years — is a version of WoW that branches off from the original and becomes something new based on something old, exactly like Old School RuneScape did. That means fresh raids, zones, and class tuning layered onto the vanilla experience, without progressing into the game's later expansions. Blizzard has previously teased a major Classic-related announcement, and Camelot fits that shape.
What's confirmed vs. what's a guess
Confirmed: the "Camelot" name and license entries exist in Blizzard's data. That's it. Everything else — that it's Classic+, its features, races, raids, and release date — is community inference. We'll upgrade each item from "rumor" to "fact" only when Blizzard says so, likely at BlizzCon.
The best community breakdowns
Warm up in WoW Classic while you wait
If Camelot really is Classic+, the best prep is the vanilla experience it's built on. New or returning, WoW Classic teaches you the world, the classes, and the pace — so you're ready the day Camelot drops.

Is WoW Camelot confirmed?
No. It's a datamined leak from June 2026, not an official announcement. Treat everything as rumor until Blizzard confirms it — possibly at BlizzCon in September 2026.
Is Camelot the same as Classic+?
That's the leading community theory, not a fact. The name and tiered editions fit a Classic+ style release, but Blizzard hasn't said what Camelot is.
When will we know more?
BlizzCon 2026 (September) is the most likely reveal moment. We'll update this page the instant anything is official.
