Blizzard detailed a lot of the content coming in the new World of Warcraft: Legion expansion. The expansion begins with a Legion invasion coming directly from the Tomb of Sargeras. The Broken Shore location is the springboard for the expansion, which allows for everything to be on the same page. Blizzard then gave a Broken Shore demo, which included the Demon Hunter introduction. They further detailed how players can join their factions, establish their class order hall, and start their artifact quest lines. There was a New Zone preview as well.
Other major announcements from the panel include how challenge modes have been repurposed, and new artifact weapons for most classes. Challenge modes are now true open ended, endgame experiences, with dungeons as hard as the player needs them to be. Legion challenge modes start with a keystone, which has a power level associated with it. Along with these major announcements, there was a plethora of other content discussed as well.
