Project Camelot:
what we actually know

A permanent record of facts, meaningful signals and claims that still need proof.

Official statusUnannounced

The short version

No announcement. No release date. No reason to pretend otherwise.

Blizzard has not announced a product called Project Camelot. The public evidence currently consists of an encrypted WoW Dev 5 branch, third-party observations and an official BlizzCon schedule that does not name Camelot.

01

Confirmed

BlizzCon runs September 12–13 and includes multiple official World of Warcraft sessions.

02

Observed

WoW Dev 5 is serving an encrypted 1.60.0.69698 build across the tracked regions.

03

Unconfirmed

No public Blizzard statement connects that branch to Classic+, features, testing or a release date.
