Legion

Sure, the Burning Legion is invading and likely well on its way to wiping us all out. But that doesn't mean that everything in Legion has to be grim stories of our impending demise — as with every Blizzard game, there's more than a little silliness to be found.

One of the most interesting-sounding dungeons revealed back during Gamescom was the Helheim dungeon, Maw of Souls.

There's only one thing in the Legion alpha where, upon discovering it, I felt in my gut it'll be nerfed before it goes live -- and it isn't the Demon Hunter's double jump or their ability to melt an entire pack of mobs in seconds with their eyebeam.

I'm in full fledged 'Avoid Spoilers' mode, so I'll just say this -- today, while leveling in the Legion alpha, the game objectively surprised me by not only not killing a character, not only giving her (yes, a her) a redemption arc of sorts, but showing me what that character's face looks like for the first time since Warcraft 3.

The demigod Cenarius is the son of Malorne and Elune.

Last week Blizzard told us that Warlords of Draenor Challenge Mode weapon appearances will be account-wide in Legion.

The return of the Legion alpha came with the addition of the Shaman class, which means there's a new class hall to tour.

Welcome to our new monthly Demon Hunter column, Spectral Insight.

While we'd originally planned to hit up the brand new Violet Hold on the Legion alpha this week in lieu of the usual leveling stream, we quickly discovered that it was a little too out of control to handle.

Look, I know I've mentioned this before.
