No excuses, I’m calling it now: Legion: Remix is going to outshine Remix: Mists of Pandaria.
After Remix: Mists of Pandaria turned out to be such a hit, it was only a matter of time before Blizzard revisited the concept. This week, Blizzard revealed more details about the upcoming mode, and even without hands-on experience yet, I’m convinced: Legion: Remix is taking things to the next level.
New Mounts and Old Rewards
Sure, Chromie has let us revisit old content for a while now. But experiencing Legion again alongside tons of other players is something entirely different from wandering empty zones alone or with a tiny group.
Just like in Remix: Mists of Pandaria , we’ll see loads of reimagined items and mount variants. At the same time, old content like Class Hall rewards will be unlockable again, a perfect feature for anyone who started WoW after Legion and missed out the first time.
And of course, you’ll be able to dive into Legion dungeons and raids with full groups of players. Especially the raids should feel like a completely fresh experience compared to running them now as Legacy content.
Legion: Remix as Early Access for New Features
Blizzard has already tested this approach in Diablo: successful seasonal features often get folded back into the core game. I’m hoping Legion: Remix will be a similar kind of testbed.
One of the big new systems is Heroic World Tiers, inspired by Diablo’s World Tiers. Enemies scale with difficulty level, and in return, drop better loot. Whether this will work as smoothly in WoW as it does in Diablo remains to be seen.
The difference: in Diablo, item level mostly ties to character level, while in WoW it’s tied to content and enemy scaling. If Heroic World Tiers become a genuine alternative to Delves or Heroic Dungeons, they could be fantastic. But if they turn into a mandatory endgame grind because the loot is too good balance could get tricky.
That said, I’m excited about anything that makes the open world feel more alive again. Seeing more players traveling through places like the Isle of Dorn will give those zones fresh energy. The announced Timewarped Obelisks, which grant temporary buffs, could help with that too.
Perfect Prep for Midnight for new Gold Goblins
Anyone who’s made serious gold in WoW through the Auction House knows about the “alt army.” The more characters you have at max level, the more Concentration crafts like enchants you can pump out and sell for profit.
With Legion: Remix, Blizzard is raising the character cap by 5 and speeding up leveling, an ideal opportunity for future gold goblins to prep an army of alts ahead of Midnight’s launch.
Looking Ahead
Legion: Remix already feels like the logical evolution of Mists of Pandaria Remix. More rewards, extra features, and smart adjustments like how the Bronze currency works. In Mists, Bronze was needed for both character upgrades and cosmetic purchases. In Legion: Remix, Bronze is dedicated solely to buying rewards. That’s a welcome change after three seasons of juggling both.
So before we move on to early-access Housing for pre-orders and then the big Midnight expansion, Legion: Remix is shaping up to be the perfect bridge event.
If you’re curious how good it really feels, you’ll get the chance to test it on the PTR with patch 11.2.5 or just jump in at release later this year.
