World of Warcraft 2 Rumors Explained
Separate the WoW 2 rumor from reported Camelot datamining, Gear Store labels and Blizzard's actual public statements.

Blizzard has not announced World of Warcraft 2. The current speculation comes from Camelot-labeled technical discoveries and a Gear Store selector reportedly renamed wow-2.

Quick Answer
CONFIRMED: Blizzard has not publicly announced a product named World of Warcraft 2. DATAMINED/REPORTED: technical labels connected to “Camelot” appeared in reporting, and a Blizzard Gear Store CSS selector was reportedly changed from wow-camelot__color-scheme to wow-2__color-scheme. SPECULATION: some readers interpret that as a sequel signal.
Why the Rumor Grew
PC Gamer reported Camelot-labeled licenses and a Classic-era branch. Icy Veins later reported the Gear Store selector rename. Neither observation explains what the project is. wow-2 could distinguish a second collection, theme or internal slot rather than a new MMO.
The strongest competing interpretation is a Classic-derived project because the reported branch is associated with Classic-era versioning. That remains a theory, not a Blizzard description.
