Master Mythic Artifact Weapons and Battle as the New Demon Hunter Hero Class in Legion

Blizzard is coming out with its sixth expansion, Legion for the acclaimed massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft. The new expansion will feature a brand new continent to explore called The Broken Isles, and here you will discover one of Azeroth’s greatest battles.

“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.”
