Here's the WoW: Forever release time for your region

Step back into classic Azeroth.

WoW: Forever's release is imminent, transporting us back to the good ol' days of adventuring through Azeroth, but with new content, visuals, plus class and race tweaks to try out. You can even create your character early and reserve your name, though that feature ends today.

Forever releases on November 4 or 5 depending on where you call home, but it is a simultaneous release around the globe. Here's when you can play:

- West Coast US: 3 pm PST (November 4)

- East Coast US: 6 pm EST (November 4)

- UK: 11 pm GMT (November 4)

- Europe: 12 am CET (November 5)

- Australia: 10 am AEDT (November 5)

- New Zealand: 1 pm NZDT (November 5)

For full times, check the image above. There is a preload available on BattleNet which clocks in at around 50GB, though if you've already got Classic or Retail WoW installed, the size should be smaller as the game shares some of the same files.
