Pros & cons
- ✓ Unapologetically classic-WoW in feel, six races and faction war included
- ✓ Loudly committed to 'truly free-to-play' with no pay-to-win
- ✓ Large Steam playtests in 2026 drew real crowds and goodwill
- ✗ Unproven indie studio taking on the genre's hardest template
- ✗ 'Ready when it's ready' — the Q1 2027 Early Access target may slip

Best for
- Classic-WoW fans who want a fresh start
