Blizzard has detailed World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Dragonflight, which will be taking adventurers on a journey to the long-lost Dragon Isles, and introducing a new playable race-class hybrid and flyable dragons along the way. Additionally, the developer has confirmed 2008’s Wrath of the Lich King expansion will come to World of Warcraft Classic later this year.
First, Dragonflight, which grants access to the long-hidden ancestral home of dragonkind, the Dragon Isles, recently reawakened following a period of calamity for Azeroth. This new region – described as lush and primal, bursting with elemental energy – will incorporate everything from icy wastes and magma areas to lush forests and vibrant coasts across its four standard areas (bringing the likes of new dungeons and raids) and new starting zone.
The Dragon Isles starting area is home to the Dracthyr Evokers, a new playable race-class hybrid that will begin their WoW journey at level 58 and can align with either the Horde or the Alliance. Evokers will have two customisable forms – their draconic avatars used in battle, plus humanoid forms deployed when interacting with Azeroth’s inhabitants – and, depending on players’ chosen class specialisations, can either focus on damage dealing or healing.
