A previously dismissed leak regarding Blizzard’s long-term plans for the Warcraft franchise is gaining renewed attention following a recent discovery on the company's internal servers. The document, which first surfaced on Reddit in August 2025, details a release roadmap for the franchise extending through 2030.
While the original leaker’s account was deleted, the community has resurfaced the information after Wowhead identified evidence of Heroic and Epic editions for something dubbed World of Warcraft Camelot. This finding aligns with the leaked roadmap, which suggested a WoW Classic-related release for late 2026. Many fans speculate that Camelot is the long-rumored 'Classic+' version of the game, intended to provide new content for the original Vanilla experience without advancing to existing expansions.
The credibility of the leak is bolstered by its accurate prediction of the World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion window. According to the document, the subsequent expansion, The Last Titan, is slated for late 2027.
Beyond World of Warcraft
The alleged internal document suggests that Blizzard’s Warcraft ambitions extend well beyond the MMORPG. The timeline includes:
- Warcraft Chronicles: A new real-time strategy game scheduled for late 2028.
- Untitled Arthas ARPG: An action-focused project featuring the Lich King, targeted for late 2029.
- Television Adaptations: The leak claims there are two shows in development, one animated and one live-action, tied to the Chronicles and Arthas projects.
Blizzard leadership has recently signaled a broader vision for the IP. In February 2026, Blizzard executive producer Holly Longdale described the Warcraft franchise as “underutilized,” while president Johanna Faries confirmed that the studio is engaged in “exciting conversations” regarding potential Hollywood adaptations.

While the Camelot datamine provides a concrete link to the leaked document, the broader claims—particularly those regarding 2028 and 2029 release windows—remain unconfirmed. Blizzard has a historical tendency to cancel approximately 50% of its internal projects, meaning that even if the document was accurate in 2025, these projects may have since been shelved. Additionally, with parent company Xbox reportedly planning major layoffs and signaling a shift in how it funds “industry-defining franchises,” the future of these unannounced titles remains highly speculative.
