How WoW: Dragonflight’s 2023 Content Roadmap Has Helped “Reinvent” Blizzard’s MMORPG
1 min readWorld of Warcraft: Dragonflight’s update cadence has been a game-changer, both for the playerbase and the development team.
Comparing the game’s ongoing Dragonflight expansion to its most-recent predecessor is like comparing night and day. Shadowlands was dark and gloomy. Dragonflight is bright and hopeful. Content updates were few and far between in Shadowlands, but Dragonflight’s are fast and frequent. Where Shadowlands forced players to abide by restrictive systems, Dragonflight is largely content to let players do and play how they want.
In an interview with GameSpot, WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas and executive producer and vice president Holly Longdale made clear that the team at Blizzard has learned a lot in the past few years.
