Spread the Word and Your Wings! 

Dragonflight brings tons of exciting updates to World of Warcraft, including the dracthyr Evoker, the first ever class/race combo in WoW, a brand-new talent system, updates to professions and specializations and a new Crafing Orders  system, a new form of aerial movement called Dragonriding, and much more. With a bigger-than-ever focus on exploration and player expression, Dragonflight rewards you for playing your way.

During the Dragonflight FREE trial period, you can bring your level 60 characters to the Dragon Isles or play as the new dracthyr Evoker and get complete access to the latest chapter in the Warcraft saga. If you don’t have a level 60 character on your account yet, check your Battle.net app—we may have a surprise waiting for you.
