WoW Dragonflight is due out later this year, about two years after the release of the latest expansion for the MMORPG. But that’s just in the real world of meat. In the digital world, the Warcraft universe is also at the forefront, and not always in step with the meat space.
The time gaps between expansions tend to be one or two years, starting with year 25 in World of Warcraft (25 years after the Dark Portal originally opened in the first Warcraft game). However, unlike previous expansions, Blizzard is introducing a three-year hiatus between the end of Shadowlands and the start of Dragonflight, delaying the start of the new expansion to year 40.
Why this discrepancy? Simply put, Blizzard has decided that everyone deserves a break between global disasters. “It felt like an opportunity to give Azeroth and its people a little break before the dragons took flight,” says WoW developer Erudician on the WoW forums. “When you look at the Warcraft timeline… [you’ll notice] that many large-scale events that changed the world were intertwined with each other.
It is the right time. Azeroth’s civilizations barely had time to rest between the reopening of the Dark Portal and the ensuing onslaught of demons, the onslaught of the Lich King and his undead legions, and the worldwide apocalyptic rupture wrought by Deathwing and Black Dragonflight. And you thought that the last few years on planet earth have been tough.
If you’re worried about spending time and money catching up on events that happened between expansions, don’t worry. “Our goal here is not to compile a list of events… that you need to read about in a novel or other medium,” Erudician adds, though they do mention a short story to be published that focuses on “a particularly happy person.” event”. ” during the pass.
