World of Warcraft Expansion Dragonflight Leaks Early
Editor’s Note: A lawsuit has been filed against Activision Blizzard by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which alleges the company has engaged in abuse, discrimination, and retaliation against its female employees. Activision Blizzard has denied the allegations. The full details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated as new information becomes available.
Blizzard Entertainment's official website inadvertently outed the title of World of Warcraft's next expansion, Dragonflight, which the publisher plans to reveal in full later this month. Barring 2021's Burning Crusades Classic, the 2020 release of Shadowlands constitutes World of Warcraft's last major expansion. The first year of Shadowlands didn't instill much confidence in long-time fans, many of whom felt letdown by various delays and disappointing updates that seemingly pointed to a lack of direction.
Shadowlands' arrival initially reinvigorated interest in the experience in many respects; however, the high of new content drops failed to last very long. Newly added features such as the Covenant divided the community, lengthy droughts between updates encouraged more than a fair few players to step away, and abuse allegations against Activision Blizzard left countless World of Warcraft faithful reeling. A mass exodus from WoW ultimately culminated in Final Fantasy XIV receiving an incredible player count boost, too. But Blizzard's forthcoming announcement of an all-new World of Warcraft expansion could be what the MMO needs to regain some of its footing.
