Next World of Warcraft expansion Dragonflight leaks on Blizzard website

gamepur.com:

It used to be that when it came to MMOs, World of Warcraft was the only name worth remembering. Though it doesn’t dominate the industry in the way it used to, thanks to multiple competitors rising up to give players a break from battling across Azeroth, Blizzard’s flagship MMO continues to be popular enough to warrant ongoing support from the developer.

The next phase of that support might be getting announced in the next few weeks, if a leak from WoW Head, the popular World of Warcraft fan-site, is correct. According to information in the source code for the World of Warcraft website, Blizzard themselves may have inadvertently given away the name of the upcoming expansion for the game.

The name “Dragonflight” is listed numerous times in the source code for the website following a recent update, including Base, Heroic, and Epic pre-purchase bonuses. The code also points toward a new URL, dragonflight.blizzard.com, which currently leads to a timeout error. All of this is evidence of the new expansion’s name being leaked early by the company itself.

Of course, there are still plenty of details we don’t know about the new expansion, even if we know its name already. All of this could easily be some trickery from Blizzard to misdirect from the actual nature of the next World of Warcraft expansion. The official announcement is expected on 19 April, so fans won’t need to wait long to get answers to their questions.
