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 encrypted development branches using versions 1.60.0 and 1.60.1. 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 multiple Blizzard development environments and continuing updates to the unusual Patch 1.60 branches. The encrypted project advanced from 1.60.0 to 1.60.1 in August 2026, while both branches continued receiving separate updates.
The latest tracked versions are 1.60.1.69638 on WoW Dev 2 and 1.60.0.69679 on WoW Dev 5. The WoW Dev 5 branch received two updates in just over three hours on September 2, providing additional evidence that Blizzard is maintaining parallel encrypted builds.
Project Camelot has also appeared outside the usual development-server
tracking. Build 1.60.1.69407 was observed in a China-region vendor CDN
configuration, while a wow-camelot color scheme briefly
appeared in Blizzard Gear Store code before being renamed
wow-2 and removed.
These discoveries suggest that Camelot remains an active internal project, but they do not reveal its public name, content or release plans. A build number, CDN entry or website color scheme cannot independently 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.
WoW Dev 2 advances from 1.60.0 to 1.60.1, creating the first detected point-one branch. Read the Patch 1.60.1 report.
WoW Dev 5 and WoW Dev 2 receive new builds while encrypted Dwarf and Skyborne promotional rewards generate additional Classic Plus theories. See the reward and build clues.
The encrypted WoW Dev 2 branch advances from build 1.60.1.69328 to build 1.60.1.69407, confirming continued development activity.
Build 1.60.1.69407 appears as a new China-region variant on vendor CDN infrastructure. Review the China CDN discovery.
Blizzard’s official World of Warcraft Armory adds support for Classic game versions, expanding its ability to distinguish between different WoW products, realms and character data.
Three encrypted updates arrive in roughly 25 hours. WoW Dev 2 advances twice to build 1.60.1.69609, while WoW Dev 5 reaches build 1.60.0.69606. Review the builds and Classic Armory update.
A wow-camelot color scheme is found in code served
through Blizzard’s official Gear Store. The identifier is later
changed to wow-2 while retaining the same displayed
colors and typography.
The wow-2 Gear Store theme is subsequently removed.
Separately, WoW Dev 2 advances from build 1.60.1.69609 to
1.60.1.69638.
WoW Dev 5 receives two encrypted updates in just over three hours, advancing from 1.60.0.69606 to 1.60.0.69639 and then to 1.60.0.69679. Read the complete Gear Store and build report.
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
The World
- New old-world zones and questlines
- Unfinished Vanilla locations
- New dungeons and level-60 raids
- Expanded faction stories
- Additional class quests
The Player
- New races or race/class combinations
- Class tuning and new abilities
- Level-cap and progression decisions
- Professions and itemization
- Preserving faction and class identity
The Systems
- Heroic dungeons
- World buffs and raid sizes
- Dungeon Finder and summoning stones
- Guild banks, achievements or transmog
- Permanent versus seasonal realms

What is Project Camelot?
Project Camelot is an unannounced World of Warcraft project name associated through datamining with encrypted development branches using versions 1.60.0 and 1.60.1. Its public name, features and purpose have not been confirmed by Blizzard.
Is Project Camelot confirmed to be Classic Plus?
No. Project Camelot’s association with Patch 1.60 and other Classic-related activity has made Classic Plus the leading community theory, but Blizzard has not confirmed the connection.
Has Blizzard officially announced WoW Classic Plus?
No. Blizzard has discussed the future of WoW Classic, but it has not announced a game or expansion officially titled WoW Classic Plus.
What is the mysterious WoW Patch 1.60 build?
Patch 1.60 refers to encrypted World of Warcraft development branches detected on Blizzard infrastructure. Datamining has associated this activity with Project Camelot, but the version number does not reveal the project’s content, features or release model.
What are the latest Project Camelot builds?
The latest tracked WoW Dev 2 build is 1.60.1.69638, detected on September 1, 2026. The separate WoW Dev 5 branch advanced twice on September 2 and reached 1.60.0.69679. Both branches remain encrypted, so their contents are unknown.
Why are both Patch 1.60.0 and 1.60.1 still being updated?
The parallel updates show that Blizzard is maintaining at least two encrypted development branches. They could serve different testing, compatibility or deployment purposes, but Blizzard has not explained why both versions remain active.
Was Project Camelot found in the Blizzard Gear Store?
A color scheme labeled wow-camelot appeared in code served
through Blizzard’s official Gear Store. The identifier was changed to
wow-2 and subsequently removed. This confirms that the
Camelot name appeared in official store code, but it does not confirm
that Project Camelot merchandise is planned.
Review the complete Gear Store discovery.
Does wow-2 mean World of Warcraft 2?
Not necessarily. The wow-2 label may simply identify a
second World of Warcraft store collection, template or color scheme.
There is no confirmation that Blizzard is developing or announcing a
product titled World of Warcraft 2.
Why did Blizzard remove the Camelot Gear Store code?
Blizzard has not explained the change. It could represent ordinary website cleanup, an accidentally deployed asset or preparation for an unrevealed store collection. Claims that Blizzard deliberately removed it to conceal Project Camelot remain interpretation.
Was Project Camelot found on a China CDN?
Build 1.60.1.69407 was observed as a China-region variant on vendor CDN infrastructure on August 21, 2026. This could be consistent with localization, regulatory preparation, regional partner access or internal distribution, but it does not confirm a Chinese release. Review the China CDN evidence.
Is Project Camelot still being developed?
Yes, the available build data indicates ongoing activity as of September 2, 2026. WoW Dev 2 recently reached build 1.60.1.69638, while WoW Dev 5 received two updates in just over three hours and reached 1.60.0.69679. These updates confirm continued development activity, but not the project’s contents or release plans.
When is the WoW Classic Plus release date?
There is no confirmed WoW Classic Plus or Project Camelot release date. Dates circulating through anonymous leaks or community speculation should not be treated as official.
Will Project Camelot be revealed at BlizzCon 2026?
BlizzCon 2026 is a plausible opportunity for Blizzard to discuss the future of WoW Classic, but no scheduled panel explicitly names Project Camelot or Classic Plus. A reveal, playable demo, beta or release-date announcement remains unconfirmed.
Will WoW Classic Plus stay at level 60?
Blizzard has not confirmed a Classic Plus level cap. Many players favor permanent level-60 progression, but Patch 1.60 should not be interpreted as proof of that design decision.
Will Classic Plus be permanent or seasonal?
No permanent or seasonal release model has been announced. Project Camelot could be a long-term Classic branch, another experimental season or a different kind of World of Warcraft product.
How would Classic Plus differ from Season of Discovery?
Season of Discovery is a seasonal version of Classic with altered progression, new abilities and redesigned content. Classic Plus is generally imagined as a broader or more permanent expansion of the original game, but no official comparison is possible until Blizzard announces its plans.
