World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will release this year, pre-orders live now

The ninth expansion for Blizzard’s long-running MMORPG should be out before the holidays.

It seems that Dragonflight, the latest World of Warcraft expansion, is coming out sooner than most were expecting. 

On Tuesday, Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft: Dragonflight will release this year. No hard date yet, but the company stresses that it’ll land sometime before Dec. 31, 2022.

“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,” Holly Longdale, executive producer on Dragonflight, said in a press release. “This is your chance to get up close and personal with the rich history of the storied Dragon Isles and immerse yourself in the high-fantasy at the core of the Warcraft universe.”

Pre-orders for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight went live on Blizzard’s website. There are four editions, which we’ll outline below, along with the cost of each.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Pre-Order Editions

  • Standard Edition for $50
  • Heroic Edition for $70
  • Epic Edition for $90
  • Physical Collectors Edition for $130

PC games rarely get physical copies nowadays, so the Collector’s Edition is interesting. It’ll contain every digital goodie such as the Drakks pet, a Dragonflight-level character boost, the Tangled Dreamweaver flying mount, 30 days of game time, and more. 

Dragonflight is World of Warcraft‘s ninth major expansion. The latest cinematic trailer was quite good, and Blizzard reassured GLHF that there’s loads of great content coming.
