What is coming in the WoW Dragonflight pre-patch?

Like other pre-patches in World of Warcraft's past, players can expect to experience some of the smaller details and features of the new expansion early on.

For the WoW Dragonflight pre patch, Blizzard has confirmed that the Dracthyr and its race-specific class, the Evoker, will become playable, even getting their own set of Covenant Abilities and Legendary Power. These will not be anything creative, however, as they will only provide stats boosts, akin to the Demon Hunter tier sets in Hellfire Citadel during Warlords of Draenor.

The content will be separated into two phases.

Phase One will focus on adding the system and feature updates and revamps such as the new Talent system. This will also include the Heads-Up Display User Interface (HUD UI) Changes, accessibility features, Rated Solo Shuffle, and the New Class and Race combinations.

Phase Two, on the other hand, will bring on the new race, the Dracthyr, and its race-specific class, the Evoker. This will come with their starting zone, the Forbidden Reach, a new dungeon, Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr, and kick off the pre-patch's official event, Primal Storms.
