The launches
November’s headline is a launch, not a patch: World of Warcraft: Forever opens on November 4 as a permanent Classic+ experience — a level-60 cap, three new zones, more than 1,000 quests and a new playable race, the Skyborne Elves. Blizzard announced it at BlizzCon 2026 and runs a free stress test on October 21. Two days later, Modern Warfare 4 Season 01 (November 6) brings the game’s first season and its Warzone integration, the first big test of the post-Black Ops 7 handover.
The month-long event
World of Warships treats Black Friday as a season, not a sale day. The 2026 event opens in the final week of Update 15.9 and runs through November with four new Black variants — Incheon B, Victoria B, Hornet B and Flandre B — alongside returning Black ships, reworked containers and the Black Friday Squadron. Update 15.10, “Horror From the Abyss”, also lands in November with a Bermuda Triangle PvE operation and a new European torpedo cruiser branch. If you buy premium ships once a year, this is the month the game prices it for.
The global weekend
Pokémon GO runs GO Wild Area in two beats: in-person in Sendai and Mexico City on November 6–8, then a global event for everyone on November 14–15. Before that, Halloween 2026 Part II runs November 1–5 with the Shiny Greavard debut and a Mega Sableye Super Max Level boost.
What it means for buyers
Event ships, skins and pets are cheapest while their events run and spike when the events end. The WoWS Black Friday containers and the GO Wild Area spawns are November’s two biggest supply shocks; WoW: Forever’s fresh economy starts from zero on November 4, which historically makes its first weeks the most volatile — and the most scam-prone — in any new-server market.
When they end
The first week of November is a cliff edge: Fortnitemares and Harvest Hollow end November 1, Crimson Harvest on November 3, Halloween Part II on November 5, and Scream Fortress on November 7. Anything event-limited you still want from October’s events has a deadline measured in days, not weeks.
What it means for buyers
November rewards patience twice: Black Friday pricing in World of Warships, and mid-event prices in everything that ends in week one. The exception is WoW: Forever — brand-new economies punish hesitation and reward caution in equal measure, so use protected marketplaces only.
