In World of Warcraft, the dragons of Azeroth have long been playing a central role in the affairs of the world. With their considerable power, they have not only been guiding the mortal races but also influencing events, typically for their own ends. The dragons are now calling on the heroes of the Alliance and Horde for help in the upcoming expansion titled Dragonflight.
With this upcoming expansion, Blizzard hopes to increase the dwindling player base. The game has been facing strong competition from Final Fantasy XIV and Lost Ark.
Here are some of the features from this upcoming expansion:
- Discover the Dragon Isles
