World of Warcraft’s newLegionexpansion isn’t too far off, bringing with it new continent, The Broken Isles, as well as an increased level cap of 110.
World of Warcraft, which has been active since 2004, has had 5 expansions released in its 12 years of service, makingLegionthe 7th addition to the popular online game. According to Blizzard,Legionwill be available on August 30, allowing players to experience the new continent known as The Broken Isles.
According to Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime, the 7th expansion to theWorld of Warcraftwill see players facing off against the Burning Legion as they explore the world and customize their heroes in all new ways.
“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,” stated Morhaime.
The Blizzard CEO has recently been the target of a petition to get the company to allow fan-hosted content after popular vanilla serverNostalrius was shut downby a cease-and-desist order. Many fans believe that the closing of the server, which hosted over 800,000 registered players, led to therecent DDoSthat shut down Battle.net services last week.
At any rate,Legionis sure to provide an interesting new challenge to Blizzard’s fanbase, many of whom are already heavily invested in theirWorld of Warcraftcharacters. One dedicated player just reached the current level cap of 100 usingnothing more than his feetand a dance mat, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see more unique playing methods making an appearance in August atLegion’s release.
