WoW Camelot: Everything We Know About Classic+ So Far

World of Warcraft Camelot is the codename attached to a mysterious internal Blizzard build that many players believe is the long-requested “Classic+” experience. While Blizzard has not made any official announcement, a growing trail of datamined evidence points to a real project in active development.

This hub covers everything currently known about WoW Camelot — what it is, how it was discovered, and when it might launch.

What Is WoW Camelot?

Despite the Arthurian-sounding name, Camelot has nothing to do with King Arthur. It’s widely believed to be an internal codename for a remixed, permanent evolution of Vanilla WoW — similar in spirit to how Old School RuneScape grew into its own long-term game built on a classic foundation.

The project is tied to a build known as Patch 1.60, which has been visible on Blizzard’s internal servers since October 2025. This version number doesn’t fit anywhere in the existing Classic version structure — Classic Era currently sits on the 1.15.x branch, while newer Classic expansions use much higher version numbers — which is a big part of why the community believes this is something entirely new rather than a routine patch.

How Was It Discovered?

Dataminer Stiven_SRB first surfaced references to “Heroic” and “Epic” licenses tied to “World of Warcraft Camelot.” The presence of two separate license tiers led to speculation about multiple purchasable editions, possibly including a deluxe or early-access option, though this remains unconfirmed.

Patch 1.60 itself is also linked to July 2006-era WoW content — the same patch window that included the raid boss encounter behind the famous “Leeroy Jenkins” moment.

Recent Development: Moved to a Vendor Server

In late July 2026, tracking accounts reported that the Camelot build moved from Blizzard’s internal development servers to a vendor server. This is a meaningful signal: vendor servers are typically used once a project needs outside access for hardware compatibility or certification testing, meaning Camelot has likely moved past a purely internal, experimental stage.

Is Camelot the Same as Classic+?

Not officially confirmed, but it lines up with what the community has called “Classic+” for years: an evolved version of original WoW that keeps the core design philosophy while adding new systems, balance updates, and long-term support — rather than a full new expansion.

Some community theories go further, speculating Camelot could push even earlier than Vanilla, potentially exploring First War-era content with different race and class options. This is speculative and not supported by current datamining evidence.

When Will Camelot Be Announced?

No official date exists. Community speculation points to BlizzCon 2026 as the most likely announcement window, given the timing of the vendor server move and the history of patch 1.60 sightings dating back to October 2025.
