Launch in 40 days Announced at BlizzCon 2026 on 12 September. Blizzard's panel recap says it launches globally on November 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. PST, with beta beginning September 17, and that it is not a mode, a season or a new version of Classic. The announcement writes that same 3:00 p.m. as PDT once and PST once; the panel recap and Blizzard's Collector's Edition post of 24 September 2026 both say PST. Our maths: US west coast clocks go back on 1 November, so PST is the label that fits the date and the hour is 23:00 UTC. The row and its source
