After months of speculation, World of Warcraft has announced its ninth expansion. Entitled Dragonflight, World of Warcraft will take players to the legendary Dragon Isles and add a host of new gameplay features.
The Dragon Isles are the ancient capital of the dragons. Forgotten by titan technology for millennia, this place of legend world of warcraft has reawakened, calling dragons across Azeroth home.
In addition to five new draconic zones filled with dungeons and raids to explore, dragon flight adds a new race and class combination: the Evoker of Dracthyr. These winged draconic humanoids channel the power of the five dragonflights to damage enemies or heal allies as the Evoker, a hero class unique to Dracthyr, and the only one available to the new race.
World of Warcraft is also revamping its talent and profession systems, as well as its user interface. Finally, comes a new flight system called Dragonriding, which allows players to customize a draconic steed to take to the skies with special maneuvers and physics.
Dragonflight’s announcement may not come as a surprise to all World of Warcraft fans. Rumors of an imminent dragon-themed WoW expansion have been rumored for months.
The official World of Warcraft announcement confirmed that many of those rumors were true, although many others remain unconfirmed or denied.
