October 15, 2026: Blizzard published Episode 4 of the WoW: Forever Podcast, a PvP episode. Host Countdown To Classic and guests Savix and Tips Out sit down with senior game designer Josh "Aggrend" Greenfield and lead designer Tim Jones.
It follows the written groundwork: the October 7 PvP progression post that replaced the old honor grind with Honor and Rank Points tied to seasonal goals, and the Battle for the Darkspear Islands, a new 15v15 capture-and-hold battleground.
Blizzard did not attach a new written breakdown to this episode, so treat it as a discussion rather than a systems document. Anything concrete it reveals belongs in the beta notes, not in the episode title.
The beta's last full day is October 21, with launch on November 4.
