World of Warcraft Forever launches November 4 worldwide at once

World of Warcraft Forever launches November 4 at 3pm PST everywhere simultaneously, so every player starts at the same time.

Blizzard has confirmed World of Warcraft Forever will launch November 4 with a global release, meaning every player worldwide goes live at the same time. A global release is crucial for an MMO because it stops one region getting far ahead of others.

Your launch time depends on your time zone, convert 3pm PST to find yours, and you'll play either November 4 or 5. You can preload the game now through the Battle.net launcher.

The game needs at least 128GB of free space (150GB recommended if you plan to add mods), and it requires an SSD rather than a regular hard drive. Once downloaded, you'll be ready to log in when the servers go live.
