I think not! According to an interview on the Taiwanese gamebase website, the Worgen race speculation has been debunked, read the full translated interview here: http://www.scrollsoflore.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4853
The q&a part talking about the Worgen and Goblin masks..
Q10. Some players datamined the new masks models from Patch 3.2 PTR files. Are they really the hints for the new races in the expension?
B: These masks are made for the upcoming in game event Hollow’s End this year. I said it’s too early to connect them to the new races. If there’s gonna have new races in next expension. We will make an official announcement.
This has led many players to believe all the rumors to be false, but…if you read carefully you will notice that the Blizzard answer does not deny the masks being indicative of the new races being Worgen and Goblins. It just states that they are to be used with Halloween’s event, a great evasive answer that actually doesn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know.

Boubouille of MMO-Champion.com made a staggering discovery in one of the ptr-builds, 4 new Halloween masks, 2 Worgen and 2 Goblins, he claims these will be the new races joining the Horde and the Alliance. Much discussion has followed on how 2 simple masks can prove the new races, but also what side would these new races be on? My guess is as follows
Goblins go to Horde
- Horde already has Goblin zeppelins
- Alliance already has an engineering race
- Goblins just don’t like Gnomes
- Gnomes don’t like Goblins
Worgen go to Alliance
- Alliance lacks a feral race
- They are human
The next minor ptr build there were more masks added, at least one of these was of terrible quality (a scan from an rpg-book it seems), which immediately sprouted discussions about a neutral faction being added to WoW. To be honest, I don’t believe in a third faction being added, just a gut feeling telling me it makes absolutely no sense. I think the latest masks were added to throw some mud into all the speculations.
