All in all, it looks like Dragonflight will bring a series of new and exciting features to the game that players have been wanting for a long time.
Do I need to buy Shadowlands to play Dragonflight?
Some World of Warcraft players will naturally be returning to the game after a long hiatus, prompting the question “Do I need to buy Shadowlands to play Dragonflight?”
Luckily for them, this shouldn’t be the case. In the past, when a new expansion was released, the previous expansion became a part of the basic game that you could enjoy with your standard subscription. In other words, no, you won’t have to buy Shadowlands if you want to get started with Dragonflight later this year.
