About Hyjal Summit
Hyjal Summit is one of Forever's two new raids, in the new Mount Hyjal zone. It is for 20 players and has 13 bosses.
It opens on 9 December, not at launch. The game launches on 4 November. Hyjal Summit unlocks five weeks later, on the same day as the Barrow Deeps and Onyxia's Lair.
No attunement, and no flex. A Blizzard developer said the new raids at launch will not need attunement to enter. The same interview said raids start at 10 and 20 players, with no plans for flexible sizes. Plan for a full 20.
Where the door is. At BlizzCon, Mount Hyjal was called "a new endgame leveling zone". We have not found the raid's entrance published; Warcraft Tavern's raid guide gives only the zone.
For a group, the work is finding 20. Agree the roster and the night before 9 December, so the first week is spent in the raid rather than looking for people.
Checked against its sources on 7 October 2026.
The Barrow Deeps is planned as a maximum-level 10-player challenge, while Hyjal Summit will bring 20-player raid encounters to one of Warcraft's most important locations.

Reports from BlizzCon and the beta say WoW: Forever has a Looking for Group list but no dungeon finder, and that meeting stones don't summon. How to get a group anyway
