World of Warcraft’s Dragonflight to launch in 2022, bundles revealed

The level cap in WoW will be increased to 70 again in Dragonflight as players head to the new zones awaiting on the Dragon Isles with the Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, Azure Span, and Thaldraszus, each being home to one of the dragon aspects. Executive Producer Holly Longdale spoke about the upcoming expansion in a press release as well:

"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. 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."

Fans will also have a new way to fly through the areas with Dragonriding. Players will have customizable Dragon Isles Drakes to soar through the skies of these new areas. Here on the Dragon Isles, the Dracthyr Allied Race awaits, with their only class: Evoker. The new Dracthyr/Evoker will start at level 58 and will be the next Hero Class for the game.

There are three digital bundles for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, each with its own exclusive items for fans as they work to reclaim the Dragon Isles.
