Raids

Forever's first raids unlock on Dec 9, 2026: Barrow Deeps (10-player) and Hyjal Summit (20-player), both on Mount Hyjal; Onyxia's Lair (40-player) is officially returning, with the community reporting the same-day opening (unconfirmed). Boss lists come from the BlizzCon 2026 demo Legacy Challenges menu and match the blue-post challenge counts (8/13); tactics notes wait until the fights are actually playable.

Legacy note: clearing Barrow Deeps (8 bosses), clearing Hyjal Summit (13 bosses) and defeating Onyxia are each worth one Legacy Challenge — raid week is Legacy-point harvest week.
