WoW Sulvus opens on 15 October with a WotLK PvP realm built around Solo Shuffle

WoW Sulvus opens on 15 October 2026 at 18:00 CEST (16:00 UTC). It is a Wrath of the Lich King realm on the 3.3.5a client made for PvP. Its website says it comes from the team behind the original Sulvus, this time on a new core and engine of their own, not a restored old realm or someone else's repack.

What the realm offers

• Solo Queue Shuffle: you queue alone and rotate teammates over six rated rounds, as in retail
• Rated 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 arenas, with class-aware matchmaking in the 1v1 bracket
• Battlegrounds from Mists of Pandaria and Legion, starting with Temple of Kotmogu
• Demon Hunter and Monk, rebuilt spell by spell for 3.3.5a
• Cross-faction queues, spell batching, and diminishing returns and spell scaling matched to Blizzard values
• A template NPC that hands out full starter gear, talents, gems and glyphs in under 10 seconds, a duel zone and a killstreak world PvP zone
• Arena chests in four tiers for 2v2 wins, and tournaments with cash prizes

Before launch the team plans a closed arena and battleground test with its early community. Everyone who joins the Discord before 15 October gets a Founding Member tag.

The Sulvus name

Sulvus goes back to 2010, when it was a Spanish-speaking instant 80 server. In 2016 and 2017 its Erenia realm ran two-month arena seasons and 2v2 tournaments with prizes of up to €200.

A separate server also uses the name. WoW Sulvus Return runs a custom instant 80 realm called Adarea at wowsulvus.com, and it had about 40 to 60 players online in early October 2026. It is not the realm that opens on 15 October, which comes from wowsulvus.es.
