We dug into a curious datamine that has the World Of Warcraft community buzzing: per Eurogamer, colour codes labelled under a "wow 2" tag have been pulled from Blizzard's website CSS, and fans are asking whether this is the clearest hint yet that Classic Plus (also known as World Of Warcraft Camelot) might be revealed at BlizzCon.
What Was Reported
According to Eurogamer, dataminers inspected Blizzard's website CSS and discovered a set of visual assets represented as colour codes under a "wow 2" label. The palette reportedly consists of a spread of mostly blue shades alongside a light red, brown, and white. These hues are said to differ drastically from colours assigned to existing Blizzard tags such as World Of Warcraft, World Of Warcraft; Midnight (the current retail expansion), Diablo, and Overwatch.
- Colours found in the site's CSS were labelled with a "wow 2" tag.
- The palette includes mostly blues plus a light red, brown, and white.
- These colours reportedly differ from other Blizzard project tags already present on the site.
Per Eurogamer, this "wow 2" entry appears to have been added to the website ahead of this weekend's BlizzCon, and some fans believe the tag could point to the long-speculated World Of Warcraft Camelot or Classic Plus, thought to be an updated or expanded version of World Of Warcraft Classic.
The Source & Credibility
Weighing this: the chain of evidence highlighted by Eurogamer is largely built on datamining and prior hints. Related items cited include:
- Blizzard supposedly teased "something big" for World Of Warcraft Classic back in January, per the same reporting.
- Dataminers allegedly uncovered heroic and epic edition licences for World Of Warcraft Camelot in June.
- There was a report of a mysterious patch labelled 1.6 for Classic WoW present on an encrypted vendor build of the game.
- Blizzard reportedly invited some World Of Warcraft Classic influencers to the studio for vaguely described reasons.
Take this with a pinch of salt: each of these items is presented as datamined or circumstantial evidence in Eurogamer's write-up, and none are framed as official confirmation from Blizzard. We remain sceptical but intrigued — datamining can uncover real clues, but it can also produce ambiguous or mislabelled data.
What It Could Mean
If the "wow 2" tag does indeed relate to a new Blizzard project, there are a few possible readings — all of them speculative, and all explicitly framed as such by Eurogamer.
- It Could Be A New Classic Effort: The most common interpretation among fans is that World Of Warcraft Camelot (aka Classic Plus) is being prepared for announcement or promotion — an expanded take on World Of Warcraft Classic.
- It Could Be A Non-Game Or Internal Label: The site-level CSS label might be an internal tag, testing palette, or placeholder unrelated to an outward-facing project; dataminers occasionally hit red herrings.
- It Could Be A Tease Ahead Of BlizzCon: Eurogamer notes the colours were added ahead of this weekend's BlizzCon, which fuels speculation that a reveal could be timed to the show.
We should be clear: none of these outcomes are confirmed. The reporting collects a string of suggestive discoveries — colour codes, edition licences, a mysterious patch, influencer invites — that together form a pattern, but the pattern is not definitive proof.
Why This Matters
Why do these colour codes get attention? For fans still invested in World Of Warcraft Classic, the idea of a refreshed or expanded classic experience is huge. Per Eurogamer, community appetite for "Classic Plus" has been growing, bolstered by experiments like the Season Of Discovery, which players appreciated for expanding older dungeons and introducing new twists to PvE and PvP.
If true, the presence of a "wow 2" site tag could signal that Blizzard is preparing some form of formal reveal. Eurogamer suggests that if a big announcement is coming, it could happen during the opening ceremony on Saturday 12th, followed by the "World Of Warcraft: What's Next" panel.
We remain cautious. Datamines and leaked assets can be meaningful — and we've followed other Blizzard-era rumours closely, from expansion whispers to platform plans — but until Blizzard speaks openly, everything here is best treated as an intriguing lead rather than confirmation.
