The downfall

So, I just watched the announcement video for the next WoW expansion, and I just have to talk about all of this. First of all, we have the next new expansion, Dragonflight. I have always liked the dragons in every way, so for me this was a pleasant surprise. The Dragon Isles seemed very nice, and offered quite the standard set of zones that we are used to see. There will be a new race, the Dracthyr, which I wasn't too excited about, since I think we have enough races already. They will also do a complete overhaul on the UI, as well as making changes to professions and talent trees. Overall I got a good feeling from the reveal, and I think I will enjoy the next expansion even more than Shadowlands.

Then we got another announcement, which really wasn't a big surprise, but just felt kind of overwhelming at this point; Wrath of the Lich King Classic. I was so nostalgic watching that trailer, just because it feels like some kind of loop is closing up. Since WotLK is the expansion where I started playing WoW over 12 years ago, all of this just brought up so much. I knew this was coming, but I'm worried it is too soon for me personally. I have been working so hard to level my BCC character to max level, while also wanting to go back to Shadowlands at the same time. Now we have these two expansions coming up, and I just feel like I'm not quite ready for any of them. WotLK Classic is scheduled for this year some time, so I suppose I still have to continue leveling my BCC priest so that I could at least be max level when the time comes. Since Dragonflight didn't have a release date yet, I am assuming it will be pushed to next year, or at least to the very end of this year. That maybe gives me a bit more time to go back and play some more Shadowlands later on in the fall.

I also have to say that I picked up Yakuza 0 again after a few months break, and now I have gotten as far as the final battle. This seems to be quite a tough one, so I'll see when I have time to go through with it, but after that I can finally write the review I was talking about earlier. I am already excited to pick up a new game after this, haven't decided yet which one though. Well, gotta go now, it's May Day evening today.
