World of Warcraft: Dragonflight expansion announcement coming this year

A couple of weeks ago, Blizzard confirmed plans to announce the next major World of Warcraft expansion in April. Now, ahead of that announcement date, details have begun leaking. 

Through datamining efforts, Wowhead has found details on the next WoW expansion, which appears to be named “Dragonflight”. As usual, the expansion will be available in multiple editions, with higher tiers granting extra perks like a new mount. One string of code suggests one of the pre-order perks will be an emerald dragon mount.

Blizzard has also set up web domains for a Dragonflight webpage, signalling that this is official and not just misdirection by the developers.

Blizzard is set to officially reveal the next World of Warcraft expansion on the 19th of April.

KitGuru Says: The last few WoW expansions have been received quite well at launch, only for opinions to sour due to post-launch content. Hopefully this new expansion can have better staying power. Will you be returning for the next expansion? Or have you left WoW behind for good?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
