What Is WoW Classic Plus?
WoW Classic Plus is the community’s name for a potential version of Classic World of Warcraft that preserves the original game’s world and design philosophy while adding new content, features and progression. Blizzard has not officially announced a product named “Classic Plus,” and there is no confirmed feature list or release date.
Instead of simply moving from Vanilla WoW through The Burning Crusade and later expansions again, Classic Plus could create a new path forward from the original version of Azeroth. Players often imagine new quests, unfinished zones, dungeons, raids, class stories and carefully selected quality-of-life improvements built around the slower, social and world-focused style of Classic.
There is no single community definition of Classic Plus. Some players want a conservative expansion of Vanilla that remains at level 60. Others support larger class changes, new races, Heroic dungeons or modern conveniences. Season of Discovery demonstrated how Blizzard can add new abilities, encounters and locations to the Classic foundation, but it does not establish what a permanent Classic Plus game would contain.
Those competing visions are a major focus of Warcraft Brew, where we discuss how Classic Plus could change the world, the player and the game’s systems without losing the identity that makes Classic distinctive.
What Is Project Camelot?
Project Camelot is an unannounced World of Warcraft project name associated through datamining with an encrypted development branch using version 1.60. Many players believe it could be Blizzard’s long-rumored WoW Classic Plus project, but Blizzard has not confirmed that connection.
Publicly reported discoveries have included World of Warcraft Camelot references, Heroic and Epic licensing labels, activity across Blizzard development environments and continuing updates to the unusual Patch 1.60 branch. The encrypted project advanced from 1.60.0 to 1.60.1 in August 2026, while separate 1.60.0 and 1.60.1 builds continued receiving updates.
The branch also appeared briefly on a Blizzard vendor environment. That can be consistent with preparation for external testing or partner access, but it did not confirm a public alpha, beta, BlizzCon demo or release candidate.

Project Camelot Timeline
Mysterious encrypted WoW 1.60 activity begins appearing on Blizzard’s internal infrastructure.
World of Warcraft Camelot references become public alongside Heroic and Epic licensing labels. Read the original report.
Possible Alliance and Horde Lordaeron tabard textures raise questions about Camelot’s setting and its connection to the Skyborne. See the datamine.
The encrypted 1.60 build briefly appears on a Blizzard vendor environment before returning to internal development.
An identical 1.60.0 build appears across additional internal environments, indicating broader distribution within Blizzard. Review the build activity.
wowdev2 advances from 1.60.0 to 1.60.1, creating the first detected point-one branch. Read the Patch 1.60.1 report.
wowdev5 and wowdev2 receive new builds while encrypted Dwarf and Skyborne promotional rewards generate additional Classic Plus theories. See the latest clues.
Is Project Camelot WoW Classic Plus?
Project Camelot may be connected to WoW Classic Plus, but Blizzard has not confirmed it. The theory is supported by Camelot’s apparent connection to the unusual Patch 1.60 branch, continued development activity and the broader expectation that Blizzard is preparing a major future project in the original WoW design space.
At the same time, version numbers and internal product names cannot reveal a final game concept. Camelot could become a permanent Classic Plus experience, a new seasonal experiment, a separate Classic product or something the community has not anticipated.
Confirmation would require Blizzard to publicly reveal the project or unencrypted product information to directly connect Camelot with a new Classic experience. Until then, “Project Camelot is Classic Plus” should be treated as a well-supported theory—not an established fact.
What Could WoW Classic Plus Include?
No official Classic Plus features have been announced. These are the major design questions being discussed by Classic players and explored through Warcraft Brew, inspired by The Classic+ Project
