Blizzard Previews Legion Remix With Diablo-Style Challenges and Artifact Overhaul

Blizzard’s preview highlights a phased five-part rollout with accelerated progression, optional Heroic World Tiers, revamped Artifact weapons, cosmetic-only Bronze currency, early one-way transfers to retail.

Illidan from World of Warcraft stands ready for battle, warglaives in hand, as infernal golems stomp in the background.

Overview

  • Legion Remix will roll out in five two-week phases with accelerated leveling, weekly lockouts and a month-long catch-up period.
  • Players can transfer their Remix characters early to current retail servers on a permanent one-way basis, receiving level-appropriate gear but losing all Remix-specific items and abilities.
  • Artifact weapons feature a shared trait tree with five specialization paths—Nature, Fel, Arcane, Storm, Holy—unlimited respecs and jewelry that boosts trait ranks beyond previous limits.
  • Optional Heroic World Tiers introduce Diablo-style affixes and tougher enemies to open-world content, complemented by Timewarped Obelisks that grant powerful temporary buffs or optional challenges.
  • Timeworn Keystone dungeons revive Mythic+-style challenges with original affixes plus four new ones, while Bronze becomes cosmetic-only and gear upgrades drop from harder activities as players unlock new mounts and transmog.
