The Dragon Isles feature four lush new zones for players to
adventure through on their journey to the new level cap of 70: the
vibrant Waking Shores, the verdant Ohn’ahran Plains, the sprawling
Azure Span, and the resplendent Thaldraszus. Dragonriding, a new
method of aerial movement, empowers players to soar through the
skies of each new area in style atop customizable Dragon Isles
Drakes. The isles are home to the all-new playable Dracthyr allied
race, who mix the magics of the dragonflights with ranged damage
and healer specializations as a solely dedicated Evoker hero class
that start off at level 58.
"We are thrilled to share that we’ll be bringing our next
expansion to players later this year. Dragonflight is a return to
Azeroth, and the freedom and exploration that World of Warcraft is
known for," said Executive Producer Holly Longdale. "This is your
chance to get up close and personal with the rich history of the
storied Dragon Isles, and to immerse yourself in the high-fantasy
at the core of the Warcraft universe."
The expansion introduces an extensive overhaul of the game’s
character talent system, which offers flavorful and impactful
talent choices at every level. There are also significant updates
to in-game professions with new work order and specialization
systems, on top of a modernized and streamlined Heads Up Display
(HUD) and User Interface (UI).

Dragonflight is available for digital pre-purchase as a Base
