Blizzard revealed quite a bit during BlizzCon 2015, we got an look at the official trailer for the Warcraft movie, confirmation of Overwatch coming to consoles and a gorgeous cinematic trailer for World of Warcraft's new expansion, Legion.

The expansion was first revealed during Gamescom, along with an brief overview of what the expansion will be offering (like raising the max level to 110). During this year's Blizzcon, Blizzard announced that the expansion is up for pre-orders, with bonus incentives for pre-order and a more detailed look at what is coming in Summer 2017.

Pre-purchasing Legion will have its incentives, everyone that pre-orders will get early access to playing the new Demon Hunter class.  During the exclusive early access period, players will be able to experience the Demon Hunter's starting quests, level to 100 and play Warlords of Draenor content… Meaning that once the expansion launches Demon Hunters will be ready for the new content.

This is what comes in the standard version of Legion ($49.99):

  • New Hero Class:

    • ​Demon Hunter

      • Unleash the demon within as an all-new melee hero class gifted with preternatural mobility—and the ability to metamorphose into hellish new forms.
  • New Feature:

    • Artifact Weapons

      • Smite the Legion with class-specific weapons of lore. Unlock awesome abilities and traits, and customize your weapon to suit your needs.
  • New Continent:

    • The Broken Isles

The Digital Deluxe Edition ($69.99) will include a bit more than the standard version. There will be pets, mounts, and more in-game items across a number of Blizzard games (like with most Deluxe Editions that Blizzard offers):

  • World of Warcraft:

    • Illidari Felstalker Mount and Nibbles Pet:
