WoW Forever Maps: Every New Zone, Starting Zone and Changed Map

Every WoW Forever map in one place, from the game's own map art: the new zones (Zephras Isle, Riverglades, Shen'dralas, Mount Hyjal, the Darkspear Islands), the starting zones with their quest hubs, and the Classic zones whose map changed.

Classic zones with a new map

These Classic zones look different in WoW Forever. Switch between the Classic map and the WoW Forever map to compare; what changed is in our guide to WoW Forever’s new zones.

Stormwind City

Stormwind City on the Classic mapStormwind City on the WoW Forever map
Stormwind Harbor takes up the west side of the city in WoW Forever, with docks and a canal of its own. The boat to Auberdine in Darkshore leaves from here.

Mulgore

Mulgore on the Classic mapMulgore on the WoW Forever map
Mulgore has a new outline. Skywatcher Plateau, in the north-west, is where the Horde’s boat to and from Zephras Isle docks, and Shen’dralas lies to the west.

Redridge Mountains

Redridge Mountains on the Classic mapRedridge Mountains on the WoW Forever map
Redridge gets a new road out of its north-east corner, towards the Riverglades, which lies beyond its eastern mountains.

Eastern Plaguelands

Eastern Plaguelands on the Classic mapEastern Plaguelands on the WoW Forever map
The Eastern Plaguelands map is redrawn almost entirely, with other mountains and lakes and a coastline along the east. Blizzard hasn’t said what’s new there.
