Players who pre-purchase World of Warcraft: Legion will unlock an instant level-100 character boost as well as early access to the Demon Hunter class prior to the expansion’s release. In the latest expansion, all hellfire breaks loose when the warlock Gul’dan, betrayer of the orcs and twisted servant of the Burning Legion, unleashes a demonic invasion force upon Azeroth unlike any of the Horde and the Alliance have ever faced.

The standard edition of the expansion will cost $49.99 while a Digital Deluxe edition is available for $69.99 and includes a hoard of in-game bonuses for Blizzard games, including an Illidari Felstalker mount and pet for World of Warcraft, a Felstalker mount for Heroes of the Storm, a helm transmog and wings for Diablo III and a pair of fel-infused StarCraft II portraits.

“Legion opens a dark and thrilling new chapter in one of the Warcraft series’ greatest conflicts, and things will never be the same for some of Azeroth’s most iconic heroes and villains,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “This expansion is loaded with features and content that give players whole new ways to explore the world and customize their heroes. We’re looking forward to sending everyone into battle against the Burning Legion this August.”
