Illidan Stormrage returns in
In Legion, Azeroth faces complete obliteration as the warlock Gul'dan brings forth a demonic army more powerful than any the Horde and the Alliance have ever faced. To stop the Legion's destructive crusade, Azeroth's defenders must embark on a quest to unlock the mythic secrets of the Broken Isles, seek out and master Artifact weapons of legendary might, and rally like-minded champions to their cause in their Order Halls. In this desperate hour, they must also strike a forbidden pact with the outcast Demon Hunters of the Illidari, fel-twisted disciples of the dreaded Illidan the Betrayer. Should the heroes of Azeroth fail . . . kingdoms will burn.
"We're excited to return to one of Warcraft®'s core
conflicts—the ongoing war against the Burning Legion—and send players on
their most epic adventure yet," said

Hero Class : Demon Hunter—Unleash Havoc in the form of devastating and dextrous attacks, or seek Vengeance and use your demonic powers to protect allies from harm.

Brave the vrykul realm of Stormheim, where mythic titan Keepers clash for control; unlock the secrets of the night elf ruins of Azsuna; free Val'sharah from the grip of the Emerald Nightmare—your path is yours to forge.
