World of Warcraft retail players will be getting a lot of content, some even sooner than expected with the highly-anticipated release of the newest expansion The War Within coming in 2024.
We will be taking a look at all of the new additions to Dragonflight that will be coming along with the release plan for the next expansion in the series.
So far, Dragonflight has been able to undo some of the damage Shadowlands inflicted on the player base, with even more people jumping back into WoW seemingly finding themselves enjoying most of the content in Dragonflight.
Without further ado, let's get into the action!
