Blizzard has released a new set of hotfixes for its massively popular fantasy MMORPG World of Warcraft. The title, which recently released its Dragonflight expansion, is seeing renewed popularity thanks to the new content. The developers also recently shared their vision for the game’s future with a new roadmap, which is the first time they’ve done so in a long time.

However, tweaks and improvements are an ongoing process with a game of this scale and size. So, Blizzard has issued some new fixes for players of Dragonflight, as well as those playing Wrath of the Lich King Classic, Burning Crusade Classic and WoW Classic.

Players should see the majority of these hotfixes put into action immediately. However, some will require an update of Blizzard’s game on the client side, so keep an eye out for any necessary updates from within the Battle.net launcher. Full details of the game’s most recent hotfixes, including tweaks to classes, dungeons, raids, items and rewards are listed in full below, as per the official website.
