We started to concept Legion all the way back when we were wrapping up on Mists of Pandaria. But as result of that, we also didn't really consider new races seriously.Д¬an you explain the process behind how the direction of a new expansion is decided? Where does it all start?Д¬hilton: It's a really long process. It could have made sense in The Burning Crusade, but because we chose not to do a class and do races instead, in this expansion it felt like putting our energy and effort behind that was really what made sense. But we always said, 'But if there's one more class, it's got to be the Demon Hunter!' This expansion was just the perfect opportunity to do it. We've always said, 'You really can't put an unlimited number of character classes into WoW.' There's probably some finite limit to the number of classes you can add to the game before they start kind of cannibalizing each other too much. What about introducing Demon Hunters as a class, were there other options that you were exploring, or maybe even perhaps introducing a new race as well? The Demon Hunter class.Д¬hilton: For this expansion, really the only one we ever considered was the Demon Hunter. I think a lot of Burning Crusade was an introduction to what we wanted to do with that character and with the storyline of the Legion.Д¬hilton: is kind of the manifestation of anti-Legion. Ideally, that would fulfill that fantasy that we started with Burning Crusade. He's such a central character to all of that, and if you tell the story of Legion and how it relates specifically to the Demon Hunter class, you really need him to be part of that story to pull it home, and show that the Legion is coming to Azeroth and what it means to players and the whole world. That's where we started talking about it. But there's always that core kernel fantasy of what if the threat came back home. Robinson: I think there's also a fantasy of, we saw what happened when invades another land and we beat them back, but never really saw the culmination of what happens when the Legion takes something over. And then later on, as you go through The Broken Isles, there's an Illidan questline where you relive some of his memories and get to know a little more where he came from, and that all leads to a crescendo at the end game.Д«y clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's So you get sent off at that point, and when you come back you see another cinematic that ties off what happened right after the raid ended. When you create a Demon Hunter, one of the first cinematics that you see kind of launches off right at the point where The Black Temple is being raided in Outland.

There are a lot of loose ends in the Illidan storyline, and in this expansion a lot of those loose ends get tied up. Why bring him back to focus again? Was returning to his story at some point something that has been planned since Burning Crusade?Д¬hilton: We did have a sense that we were going to come back to it at some point, but we didn't know exactly when that would be. GameSpot: Illidan is a character whose story felt like it finished in The Burning Crusade expansion. Game director Tom Chilton and senior art director Chris Robinson explained more behind the process in an interview with GameSpot, which you can read below. According to Blizzard, Illidan's return had always been on the cards, with concept planning kicking off as early as during Mists of Pandaria (2012). It's been nine years years since players killed Illidan in The Black Temple, yet it would appear that the Lord of Outland survived the assault and has since returned to lead a new generation of Demon Hunters to fight the Burning Legion. Legion will raise World of Warcraft's level cap to 110, and introduce a Demon Hunter class, amongst other additions.

World of Warcraft's upcoming expansion Legion will feature the return of Illidan Stormrage, who featured in 2007's The Burning Crusade expansion.
