WoW Forever World First 60: Race Tracker

The WoW Forever race to 60 begins the moment the game goes live: 10:00am AEDT Thu 5 Nov 2026 (23:00 UTC Wed 4 Nov). The level cap is 60. Blizzard set that launch time for every region at once (Blizzard), so nobody gets a head start. Your local time: launch time by time zone.

How we record a first

We only list a first when there's verifiable proof: a Blizzard post, a stream VOD with a timestamp, or a dated screenshot. Claims without proof aren't added. Anything with a single source is marked ⏳ [Unconfirmed] until a second source backs it up. All times are AEDT.

The four launch rulesets are Normal, PvP, Roleplay and Roleplay PvP (Blizzard). More on them: realms and rulesets.

Raid firsts

Blizzard's roadmap says new raids unlock on 9 December (US date) (Blizzard). Blizzard hasn't given an hour, so in AEDT that's 9 or 10 December. Raid firsts open then, and we'll add rows for each raid and boss once Blizzard confirms which raids unlock.

Hardcore firsts

Hardcore isn't in at launch. Blizzard says the ruleset arrives "sometime after launch" and hasn't given a date (Blizzard). We'll add a Hardcore table when it opens.
