Overview
- Blizzard invited top World of Warcraft Classic streamers, including Sodapoppin, Esfand, and Xaryu, to its California headquarters under non-disclosure agreements, according to multiple reports.
- Reporters link the Classic-focused invite list to a potential “WoW Classic Plus,” a version that keeps the original world but adds modern features instead of following the old update timeline.
- Xaryu told his Twitch audience he received approval to say he would visit Blizzard and could not share details because of an NDA, signaling that the visit was related to unreleased material.
- Coverage compares the rumored effort to Old School RuneScape, which runs a separate retro branch with selective quality-of-life upgrades that drew players back and now rivals the main game.
- Recent context includes Blizzard’s Season of Discovery experiment, a raid remix version in China, and a 2025 note about shaping Classic’s long-term future, yet Blizzard has made no public announcement.
