Pre-orders for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, the long-running MMORPG series’ ninth expansion, are now live. While that’s noteworthy on its own, eagle-eyed visitors noticed an interesting bit of news in the fine print:
*World of Warcraft®: Dragonflight will be available on or before December 31, 2022.
This is a surprisingly aggressive target, especially considering the game isn’t even in closed beta yet and we still know very little about the game. If Activision-Blizzard hits the target, though, we’ll be packing up from the Shadowlands and exploring the Dragon Isles before the year is over.
As usual, there are multiple editions of the game you can pre-order, each with an increasing number of perks:
- Base Edition: Includes a pre-purchase of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight and the Drakks pet as a pre-purchase bonus item.
- Heroic Edition: Includes everything in the Base Edition, plus the Tangled Dreamweaver flying mount, the Murkastrasza pet, and instant access to a Dragonflight-Level Character Boost (Level 60) to get you ready for your adventures across the Dragon Isles.
- Epic Edition: Includes everything in the Heroic Edition, plus 30 days of game time, the Timewalker’s Hearthstone effect, the Diadem of the Spell-Keeper’s head-slot transmog, and the Wings of Awakening back-slot transmog which includes 5 color variants, one for each of the major Dragonflights.
If you’re interested, head to Battle.net to pre-order now.
