Blizzard’s World of Warcraft is entering its most ambitious era to date as the iconic MMO gets ready for the upcoming release of The War Within expansion later this year. Along with plenty of new areas to explore beneath the surface of Azeroth, TWW will have a slate of new features for players to try out with their characters, which developers worked tirelessly to accomplish.

One of their most impassioned accomplishments was the rigorous expansion of Dynamic Flight to nearly all existing and new flying mounts in the entire game. During a recent interview with World of Warcraft Production Director Michael Bybee and Senior Content Designer Sean McCann, they revealed to Twinfinite that the endeavor to expand the Dynamic Flight system, which was introduced in Dragonflight exclusively with drake mounts, actually almost didn’t happen in time for The War Within.
