It hasn't launched yet. When it does, we will for sure announce it widely!

The question what kind of improvements we're making that justify losing Forums (which we know lots of communities still use and love) is one that requires a bigger answer than I can give here. Very broadly, retiring Forums is part of a comprehensive platform overhaul that will allow us to upgrade Fandom to the latest version of MediaWiki. Exactly what that entails and everything the new platform will allow us to do will be announced in the Staff blog, so keep an eye on that!
