World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is launching this year

Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Dragonflight, is coming out later this year.

This is something of a surprise. The last expansion, Shadowlands, launched in November 2020. While a two year wait between expansions isn’t unprecedented, it is a relatively fast turnaround considering the slow release of updates the MMO has received in recent years.
