The World of Warcraft Dragonflight release date is finally set in stone, Blizzard announced in a new blog post. The MMO game’s new expansion will release Nov. 28, 2022, and adds the home of the dragons as a vast new area to explore, with a suite of mysteries to uncover and solve.
Players who want to get a new character up to speed fast in the new expansion can take advantage of the Winds of Wisdom, a buff that grants 50 percent more experience than usual and is automatically applied to your new warriors.
The Dragon Isles are home to four zones, including the Waking Shores, an area full of elemental power, the vast Ohn’ahran Plains, and the arctic mountains of the Azure Span.
Dragonflight also adds the Dracthyr Evoker, a brand-new class and the first to combine playable races with a class. The Dracthyr Evoker is a hybrid role that mixes support with ranged attacks.
That’s not the only dragon-themed change coming in Dragonflight. You can also get a customizable dragon mount whose travel abilities expand as your own skills level up.
This is all in addition to the things you expect from a new World of Warcraft expansion, including new dungeons, new raids, and improvements to combat. Some of these improvements center on tweaks Blizzard made to the talent system, re-introducing talent trees and distributing skills in such a way that classes can make better use of their role and class skills.
If you can’t wait that long for more World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King Classic is out now, with classic classes including the Death Knight brought back in all their former glory.
