Blizzard Boasts World Of Warcraft: Forever as Biggest Launch In WoW History

The World of Warcraft team has shared how World of Warcraft: Forever fared at launch, and according to them, it has been record breaking. By peak concurrent players, WoW: Forever is now the biggest launch in World of Warcraft history.

That was not the only record set. The launch also drew the highest number of returning players the game has ever seen, along with its highest number of new players for a launch in 15 years. Just how high these numbers are… we don’t know, as Blizzard Entertainment did not release the specific player figures behind these records.

According to the team, the response shows the ongoing connection players have with the franchise, with WoW: Forever bringing together long-time players and newcomers in Azeroth.
