World of Warcraft: Dragonflight releases November 28
The next expansion for World of Warcraft is on the road, and we now have a release date for when players will be able to begin their trek through the Dragon Isles.
Blizzard Entertainment announced on Thursday that World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will now be released on November 28, 2022. This follows previous assurances that the expansion will take place in 2022.
Dragonflight greatly amplifies its scaly motif. You’ll be able to play as the new dracthyr Evoker, World of Warcraft’s first ever race and class combination. These let you to change your shape from humanoid to draconic, making you a bit more badass. Dracthyr Evokers are experts in ranged assaults and mystical healing. With their wings and all, they’re also rather agile.
The Dragon Isles are divided into four sections to be explored. These include anything from beaches and plains to mountains and temples. If you want to move about quickly, you may use the new dragonriding talent, which allows you to leap upon a drake and soar around. As you progress, you’ll be able to customize your dragon mount, changing its look and making it fly faster and longer.

Explore the Dragon Isles.
Discover the Dragon Isles and four new zones—the tumultuous Waking Shores, the enormous Ohn’ahran Plains, the frigid peaks of the Azure Span, and the beautiful spires and temples of Thaldraszus—each themed around and revealing more about the ancient dragon aspects.
Discover the Dracthyr Evoker.
As the new dracthyr Evoker, World of Warcraft’s first-ever race and class combination, players will terrorize their enemies (or boost their friends). The dracthyr are highly mobile, able to transition between a humanoid appearance and a terrible draconic shape, and their unique Evoker class can specialize in ranged damage-dealing or assisting their comrades as a healer by harnessing the magical abilities of dragonkind. They’ll awaken in the Forbidden Reach, where they’ll begin their training to join the army of dragonkind in defending the isles.
Climb to New Heights
Dragonflight offers Dragonriding, a whole new skill-based style of aerial travel that enables users to fly over the sky on the back of their own Dragon Isles Drake. As they continue through the expansion, players will be able to modify their drake’s look and fly farther and faster.
New Talent Management System
Dragonflight includes significant modifications to World of Warcraft classes, with a focus on the reintroduction of skill trees. The new talent system allows players to make unique and significant talent selections without jeopardizing their effectiveness—and, most critically, it provides meaningful possibilities at all levels.
Professions Updated

Blizzard introduced the game alongside the reintroduction of Wrath of the Lich King to World of Warcraft Classic, which went online earlier this week. Blizzard has bought Proletariat, the studio behind the magical combat royale Spellbreak, after the unveiling of Dragonflight. That game was canceled, and Proletariat’s 100-person workforce will instead focus on World of Warcraft expansions, including Dragonflight.
Activision Blizzard, the company that oversees World of Warcraft, is currently grappling with legal challenges and claims citing a discriminatory and abusive working environment. This comes as Microsoft is in the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard for about $69 billion. The transaction is now being reviewed by regulators and is expected to be completed by June 30, 2023.
