In Dragonflight, the ninth expansion of the popular 18-year-old massively multiplayer RPG World of Warcraft, players will return from the Shadowlands to Azeroth, exploring a new region of the world that is the ancestral home of the dragons. While the launch date wasn’t part of Blizzard Entertainment’s recent reveal, it is almost certainly a 2023 title – if they don’t have a release date planned yet, it’s probably not this year.
Dragonflight adds a new race, the dragon-based Dracthyr, and a new class unique to that race, the caster/healer Evoker. It will play out in a new set of zones on Azeroth, the Dragon Isles. Flying mounts won’t immediately be available there, but Dragonriding will be – a physics-based adventure on a swooping, gliding, diving, customizable dragon of your own.
