The Invasion Begins Winter 2016 With World of Warcraft: Legion

Blizzard have announced a collectors edition for the next expansion in the long running World of Warcraft series, Legion. Those who pre-order the game will get early access to the brand new hero, the Demon hunter. To help get you hyped a new trailer for it has been released, check it out below.

“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,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment. “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 winter.”

World of Warcraft: Legion will be available in a Standard Edition, which players can pre-purchase digitally now at www.wowlegion.com. Players also have the option to upgrade their pre-purchase to the Digital Deluxe Edition, which contains the following in-game bonuses for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard games (available upon or before the expansion’s launch):

World of Warcraft – Illidari Felstalker Mount and Nibbles Pet—Stalk the invading demonic forces atop one of the Burning Legion’s own twisted hounds of war, and summon a delightfully demented companion to keep you warm by the fel fire—both available immediately upon pre-purchase.

Heroes of the Storm – Felstalker Mount—Charge down the lanes of the Nexus and wreak havoc on the opposing team astride this fierce fanged terror.

StarCraft II – Fel Protoss Portraits—Take back Aiur in infernal style with psionic-infused StarCraft II portraits of Illidan and Gul’dan.

Diablo III – Wings of the Betrayer—Equip your hero with Illidan’s wings and strike terror into the hearts of Sanctuary’s demons.

Those who do pre-purchase will also be able to boost one character to level 100 immediately, allowing them to play through the current content with their friends. Players who wish to prepare multiple characters for battle against the Burning Legion also now have the option to purchase additional level-100 character boosts directly through the game at 66 AUD each. Further details on character boosts, including information on the gear, skills, and Garrison upgrades boosted level-100 characters will receive, can be found at www.worldofwarcraft.com

No set release date has been given, but it is aiming for a Winter 2016 release, my money is on a release around the same time as the movie.
