'World of Warcraft' expansion: 'Legion' coming later this year

"World of Warcraft" is getting a new expansion pack known as "Legion."

News of the expansion coming out for "World of Warcraft" was revealed during Gamescom.

"Legion" is set to add plenty of new content to "World of Warcraft" that is promising to make the world inside the game even bigger than before.

Arguably the most significant addition coming to "World of Warcraft" via "Legion" is the new continent known as the Broken Isles, according to Polygon. Players who will be making their way to the Broken Isles will get the chance to explore all new locations such as the Tomb of Sargeras. The floating city of Dalaran will also be situated in the Broken Isles, and this place will serve as the main rendezvous point for "World of Warcraft" players in the Broken Isles.

"Legion" is also adding a new character class known as the Demon Hunter. The Demon Hunter class will start off from a higher level. Players who also opt to try this class out will be granted with the ability to transform into a demonic figure as they are playing and attempting to take down their foes.

New raids are also coming to "World of Warcraft" via Legion. The first of the new raids is Emerald Nightmare. In this raid, players will be tasked with taking down the diabolic Xavius. Another new raid added to "World of Warcraft" is Suramar Palace. In Suramar Palace, players will encounter 10 bosses along the way, concluding with an epic encounter with Gul'dan.

"Legion" will also be raising the level cap for "World of Warcraft" players up to 110, according to Gamespot.

New weapons known as artifacts are also coming to "World of Warcraft," and these new customizable implements of destruction will grow stronger along with the players that will be using them.

Class-specific Order Halls are also new additions coming to "World of Warcraft" via the new "Legion" expansion.
