A couple of weeks ago Blizzard teased that World of Warcraft’s Legion pre-patch would be arriving soon. However Blizzard did not provide a date, only stating that the current Warlords Season 3 PVP would be ending on the 19th of July. This has led some to speculate that the pre-patch could be arriving then.
It looks like the speculation was right on the money as Blizzard has recently confirmed that the Legion pre-patch will be arriving on the 19th of July. For those learning about this for the first time, the pre-patch will basically introduce the new features that are expected to be part of the upcoming Legion expansion (save for its content).
This means that gamers can look forward to the class changes that Blizzard had previously announced, new features like an improved transmogrification system, as well as the Burning Legion invasion events that gamers can take part of in order to earn certain rewards that will be exclusive to the event.
Gamers can also look forward to early access to the Demon Hunter class that won’t be released with the pre-patch, but it is expected to arrive in the weeks that follow ahead of the game’s actual release on the 30th of August. The pre-patch should have been downloaded in the background, but if you haven’t played World of Warcraft in a while, you should fire up the Battle.net client to get the pre-patch data downloading.
