World of Warcraft’s Demon Hunter class is coming on August 9

It’s an Early Access bonus

One of the things I’m most jazzed about when it comes to the World of Warcraft: Legion expansion is the Demon Hunter class. Modeled after Illidan and the hero from Warcraft III, this active playstyle was pretty fun in the alpha/beta program, and will only get better with age.

Previously Blizzard has teased that it will enter WoW sooner than the expansion in early access form, but over the weekend they announced the exact date — August 9. If you’ve already pre-ordered the game you’re good to go.

I haven’t seen a lot of player buzz so I don’t know how much the playerbase will surge after Legion is out, but it looks fun to me.
