World of Warcraft: Legion pre-orders are now open ahead of the expansion’s planned summer 2016 release, Blizzard has announced.
Those who pre-order Legion digitally can immediately boost one character to level 100, and will also get early access to Legion’s new Demon Hunter class, of which timing will be announced at a later date.
At BlizzCon on Friday Blizzard also unveiled the expansion’s intro cinematic.
“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 summer.”
Legion will be available in a Standard Edition (physical and digital) priced £34.99, plus a Digital Deluxe Edition priced £49.99, featuring the following in-game bonuses:
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 preorder.
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.
A retail-only Collector’s Edition will also be available, offering all the digital bonuses from the Digital Deluxe Edition, plus a full-colour hardcover art book, a behind-the-scenes two-disc Blu-ray/DVD set, a CD soundtrack, and a Legion mouse pad.
