The road to The War Within begins now
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has been a great expansion for the long-running MMORPG (even our WoW expert Jez Corden praised it highly in his review ofWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight). It was a breath of fresh air that revitalized the game with a back-to-basics approach and helped itrise in popularity again, with over 7 million subscribers currently playing.
But alas, the time has come to bid farewell to Dragonflight and prepare for the next expansion,The War Within, which is set to launch later this year at an unspecified date. With all the rich amount of content within Patch 10.2.7 from new quests, rewards, and the WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria Event, players will have plenty of activities to keep themselves busy until the next expansion for one of Blizzard Entertainment’sbest PC gamesis finally released.
