For full collections, all additional non-Dragonflight related content will be available to access as soon as you complete your pre-purchase. Blizzard also makes it easy to update between versions until the end of 2023, but the expansion will arrive before December 31 of this year.

When Dragonflight launches, expect four new zones to explore, the first race and class combo called Dracthyr Evoker, the ability to fly using a dragon mount, and a variety of updates to existing game systems including professions, crafting, a new talent system and a revamped HUD interface. There’s also a new level cap (70), a new raid, and new dungeons to explore.
