After holding us in suspense for quite some time, Blizzard announced today that World of Warcraft: Legion will be launching on August 30th. As with many of Blizzard's other recent pre-purchase offers, you can either pre-purchase the expansion alone for $49.99 or get the Digital Deluxe Edition— which contains various mounts and other items for all of Blizzard's games—for $69.99. Both versions allow you to instantly boost a character to level 100 and will grant early access to the Demon Hunter class.

The full list of Legion features is as follows.

World of Warcraft: Legion is filled with features and content that will transform Azeroth’s heroes into Legion-slaying avatars of vengeance, including:
