To wrap up its opening Blizzcon keynote, Blizzard revealed some new information about World of Warcraft's next expansion, called Legion. First unveiled in early August, this expansion explores the return of the dreaded Burning Legion.

In addition to new story content that sees the Alliance and Horde take aim at the resurgent Burning Legion, players can also pick up new weapons of legend that will grow right alongside them. Those that pick up Legion can immediately level a character up to 100, essentially allowing them to skip ahead to the new story content. The expansion is now available to pre-purchase. Those that pre-purchase Legion will also receive the new Demon Hunter character and can access the character early.

Blizzard's Mike Morhaime also announced that WoW would once again be raising money for charity. On December 2, a Brightpaw pet will be made available for WoW users. Proceeds for this purchase will go towards the Make-A-Wish foundation.

World of Warcraft: Legion will invade in Summer 2016.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
