Blizzard to release World of Warcraft Dragonflight expansion ‘later this year’

Blizzard is releasing the Dragonflight expansion for World of Warcraft, announced in April, “later this year.” An exact release date has not yet been announced. The expansion is set in Azeroth, where players can explore the new Dragon Isles area.

In addition to the new area, Dragonflight adds a new playable race: the Dracthyr. That dragon race includes a new class: the Evoker. Players who choose to do so will have different dragon powers at their disposal. Evokers can specialize in healing or ranged dps. Dracthyr players can join both the Horde and Alliance.
