A standard version of Legion is available for $50, while a Deluxe version is at $70.

Interestingly, buyers who pre-purchase a digital copy of Legion can get exclusive in-game freebies. These lucky gamers will have an instant character boost to level 100 and access to the Demon Hunter class.

Blizzard CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime told GameSpot that Legion is loaded with new contents that will definitely bring new gaming experience to players.
