Dragonflight, World of Warcraft’s highly-anticipated next expansion, will take players into the Dragon Isles for the very first time, adding not only new quests and raids to explore but also a new class and a playable race.

The dragon-themed expansion will introduce the Evoker to Azeroth—the first strictly-ranged class since the game launched. This magic-wielding class will be available to play as the game’s new dragon-inspired race, the Dracthyr. Along with these changes, a new system called Dragonriding will be making its debut.

In Dragonflight, players will be able to fly customizable dragons with momentum and gravity and fly faster than ever before. But with all these new additions, players may be wondering when and what time the expansion launches.

World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Dragonflight, will launch on Nov. 28 at 5pm CT. As is standard with WoW expansion releases, the launch time will be the same across all regions, even though the weekly reset timers vary.

  • Los Angeles: 3pm PST
  • Austin: 5pm CT
  • New York: 6pm EST
  • London: 11pm GMT
  • Paris: 12am CET (Nov. 29)
  • Seoul: 8am KST (Nov. 29)
  • Sydney: 10am AEDT (Nov. 29)

Following the game’s release, raid content will open up two weeks later. The expansion’s first raid, Vault of the Incarnates, will open up on all difficulties on Dec. 13. This is a change from previous raid tiers where instances would open up on Normal and Heroic one week before opening on Mythic.
