World of Warcraft Leak Points to Classic Plus, a New RTS, and an Arthas Action RPG

A new World of Warcraft leak claims Blizzard may be preparing several major Warcraft projects, including a possible next step for WoW Classic, a new real time strategy game, and an action RPG focused on Arthas. None of these projects have been officially confirmed, so the information should be treated carefully until Blizzard makes an announcement.

The most immediate claim concerns a project reportedly called World of Warcraft Camelot. Datamining activity has uncovered references to Heroic and Epic licenses tied to that name, leading some fans to believe it could be the long discussed evolution of WoW Classic, often referred to by the community as Classic Plus.

Classic Plus is not an official title. It is a term used by players who want Blizzard to continue building new content for the original version of World of Warcraft rather than simply moving through older expansion eras again.

Camelot Could Be the Next Major Step for WoW Classic

The leaked information suggests Camelot could arrive during the third quarter of 2026. If accurate, it may bring a new direction for Classic players rather than another standard expansion progression path.

There have already been hints that Blizzard has something planned for the Classic community. Several popular WoW creators reportedly attended a private Blizzard event earlier this year, while Blizzard leadership appeared to stop short of revealing a future Classic announcement during a public presentation.

That does not confirm Camelot, but it gives the rumor more context. Blizzard has continued to support different versions of World of Warcraft, including the main game, Classic, seasonal modes, and legacy content. A more ambitious Classic project would fit that wider strategy.

Warcraft Chronicles Could Bring the Series Back to Strategy

The leak also mentions a project called Warcraft Chronicles, which is said to be a new real time strategy game targeting 2028.

Warcraft began as an RTS franchise before World of Warcraft became one of the biggest MMORPGs in gaming. A new strategy title would be a major change for Blizzard, especially after years without a full new Warcraft RTS release.

The company has previously revisited the genre through remasters and updates, but a new game built for modern systems could attract both longtime Warcraft players and people who never experienced the original strategy games.

Still, a 2028 release target is far enough away that plans could change. Early projects often shift in scope, move to a different team, or disappear before they are announced.

An Arthas Action RPG Could Explore Warcraft From a New Angle

Another rumored project is an action RPG centered on Arthas, one of Warcraft’s most important and tragic characters. The leak suggests it may be planned for 2029.

An action RPG could give Blizzard a way to tell a more focused Warcraft story outside the MMO format. It may also offer a different perspective on familiar events, characters, and locations from the series.

However, the project is the least certain part of the leak because of how far away its reported release window is. Blizzard has not discussed an Arthas game, and there is no official evidence showing how such a project would play or whether it is still in development.

For now, the strongest part of the rumor appears to be the possibility of a new WoW Classic direction. Warcraft Chronicles and the Arthas RPG are interesting ideas, but players should wait for Blizzard to reveal its future plans before treating any of these projects as confirmed.
