Blizzard Entertainment announced today at BlizzCon that World of Warcraft: Legion is now available for preorder on the game’s website, and also released the intro cinematic trailer, heralding the return of the Burning Legion.
In World of Warcraft: Legion, the Tomb of Sargeras has been reopened and the Burning Legion is fixated on summoning Azeroth, having already located the key to his return. With both the Horde and Alliance factions devastated and fighting against impossible odds, it’s up to champions from both sides to save their world from falling under the Great Burning Shadow by venturing to the Broken Isles to take up Artifact weapons and make a pact with the Demon Hunters of the Illidari.
According to CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, Mike Morhaime: “World of Warcraft: Legion is one of the most intense chapters in the Warcraft saga yet, filled with features and content that will push new and veteran heroes to their limits. Whether players want to boost a new character or get a head start on mastering a Demon Hunter, they’ll be primed and ready to battle the Burning Legion when the expansion launches next summer.”
World of Warcraft: Legion is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2016, and it can be pre-ordered in Standard or Digital Deluxe Editions.
Pre-ordering the game will immediately boost a character of the player’s choosing to level 100, and players will also get early access to the new Demon Hunter class before the game’s release.
Preordering the Digital Deluxe Edition of World of Warcraft: Legion will grant bonuses for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard games.
These bonuses include:
A Felstalker Illidari Mount and Nibbles pet for World of Warcraft
A Felstalker Mount for Heroes of the Storm
Fel Protoss Portraits for Starcraft II
And Wings of the Betrayer for Diablo III
