Skyborne Heroic Pack and other editions

How to read the three packs

Start with the subscription line, not the store art. Forever itself is included with an active WoW subscription or Game Time at launch. The packs are upgrades. Heroic exists to sell Skyborne, Zephras, early name reservation, and a cosmetic bundle. Epic exists to sell that plus beta and thirty days of game time. Collection exists to wrap Epic with Warcraft III: Reforged and Forsaken Kingdom for a limited window.

The official comparison table is the source for skyborne / beta / game-time flags. All three packs have Skyborne. Only Epic and Collection have beta. Heroic has 0 days of game time; Epic and Collection have 30 from 4 November. Inclusion is nested: Epic contains Heroic, Collection contains Epic. That nesting is why this page is a compare board instead of three disconnected store blurbs.

Unauthenticated Battle.net product URLs return 401, so there is no live checkout total here. The “from $29.99” note on Heroic is the public listing figure, not a promise that the shop will still show that number on launch day. For the current table, use the official Forever hub and the pre-purchase news post.

Skyborne Heroic Pack

Heroic is the pack you buy if you want Skyborne and Zephras and you do not need beta. It is also the pack that first unlocks Early Name Reservation among the three named upgrades. Cosmetics in the sealed list include Cerulean Prideclaw, Shen’dorei Skyseer’s Garb, a rucksack, the Windwell toy, Skyborne housing decor, and one Invite-A-Friend code. Those names are from the official table; extra pets or mounts beyond that list are not added here.

What Heroic does not include is as important. There is no Forever Beta. There are no bundled days of game time. If you already subscribe, you do not need Heroic to log into Forever on 4 November; you need it to roll Skyborne. If you do not subscribe, Heroic still does not replace a subscription for the base game at launch.

Use the filters above if you only want packs with beta or with game time: Heroic will drop out of those views, which is the correct answer, not a bug. Keep Heroic visible when you are shopping the cheapest Skyborne key.

Epic Pack and Warcraft Forever Collection

Skyborne Epic Pack is the beta pack. It includes everything in Heroic, Forever Beta from 17 September through 21 October 2026 PST, thirty days of game time from 4 November, extra cosmetics, tabards, pets, and more Invite-A-Friend codes. If you are already in beta, you are on Epic or Collection, not Heroic.

Warcraft Forever Collection is the limited-time BlizzCon 2026 bundle, on sale through 11 January 2027. It includes everything in Epic, then adds Warcraft III: Reforged, the Forsaken Kingdom campaign, and Forsaken and Human figurine housing decor. After 11 January that Collection SKU is scheduled to leave sale; Epic and Heroic remain the ongoing pack ladder in the public notes.

Collection is not a fourth gameplay mode. You still launch into the same Forever shard. You still need Heroic-or-higher logic for Skyborne because Collection already contains that access. Buy Collection if you want the Warcraft III extras and the beta in one bundle before the January cutoff; buy Epic if you want beta without the RTS wrap; buy Heroic if you only want the race.

Heroic remains the cheapest Skyborne key; Epic is the beta key; Collection is the limited Warcraft III wrap through 11 January 2027.
