World of Warcraft: Dragonflight
Technically, Dragonflight is an expansion pack for Blizzard’s massively multiplayer online RPG World of Warcraft, but I know some of you are anticipating it.
“The dragonflights of Azeroth have returned, called upon to defend their ancestral home, the Dragon Isles,” the expansion’s website says. “Surging with elemental magic and the life energies of Azeroth, the Isles are awakening once more, and it’s up to you to explore their primordial wonder and discover long-forgotten secrets.” Or more plainly for WoW noobs like me, as Kotaku senior writer Ethan Gach puts it, “it’s all about dragons.”
The expansion “will unleash players upon the Dragon Isles and let them roll as a new playable dragon race called the Dracthyr,” he writes. “And of course you ride some of the dragons too.” Sounds fun, albeit missing seatbelts.
