“We are thrilled to share that we’ll be bringing our next expansion to players later this year,” said executive producer Holly Longdale. “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.”

Three Dragonflight editions are now available for digital pre-purchase:

• Base Edition ($49.99 / £39.99): Includes Drakks, a pre-purchase bonus pet to accompany you on your quests.
• Heroic Edition ($69.99 / £54.99): Includes Drakks pre-purchase bonus pet, the new Murkastrasza pet, a Dragonflight-level character boost (level 60), and a new Tangled Dreamweaver flying mount to soar on.

A physical Epic Edition Collector’s Set ($129.99 / £129.99) is also available to pre-order. In addition to an Epic Edition digital key and Drakks pet, it includes an art of Dragonflight hardcover book, a mousepad, and a five-pin collector’s set.
