World of Warcraft: Forever launch, Digi Mart USA News: World of Warcraft: Forever launches at 3:00 p.m. PST today, and every player starts from level 1.
Players return to the original continents and the long road to level 60, and this time they can create a Skyborne character and begin their story on Zephras Isle.
The publisher describes familiar roads, new surprises, and an Azeroth that continues to grow after players reach the level cap. To celebrate the launch, Twitch is running a week of World of Warcraft: Forever content with a new way to catch up on streams and earn rewards.
Starting this week, category pages on the Twitch website will feature Stream Recaps shelves, pinned above live channels. Viewers can open the World of Warcraft category to watch short highlight reels of recent streams, including the first Skyborne runs, dungeon wipes and popular plays.
A Stream Recap is a short highlight reel built from clips made by streamers, their editors and their viewers. The new shelf gathers Recaps from streams in the World of Warcraft: Forever category, allowing viewers to discover streamers beyond the ones they follow.
World of Warcraft is the first category to receive Recaps, and every other Twitch category will receive them later this week. Stream Recaps are generated automatically from a stream’s clips, but streamers can customize them.
The new WoW: Forever Armory Twitch Extension displays a player’s abilities, build and equipment directly on their channel. Viewers can use this information to see how a streamer is playing and plan their own journey through Azeroth.
Streamers can add the extension from their Creator Dashboard before their next stream.
Viewers can also show support by subscribing to or gifting a subscription to a World of Warcraft streamer to receive Horde and Alliance chat badges. The publisher also notes a special stream currently airing on the Warcraft channel, which may include an upcoming major reveal.
The publisher invites streamers to go live in World of Warcraft: Forever and add Stream Recaps to be featured on the category page. Viewers are encouraged to watch the best moments from one of the biggest game launches of the year.
