World of Warcraft’s Legion expansion is coming back in a big way, with new rewards and activities available for a limited time during the game’s upcoming Legion Timewalking event.
Timewalking events in WoW allow players to queue for dungeons from previous expansions, but have those dungeons scaled-up to a player’s current level. Every few weeks the dungeons of a different past expansion are highlighted, and the arrival of the upcoming 9.1.5 patch for Shadowlands will introduce Legion dungeons into the Timewalking equation.

For the event’s first go around, there will be six Legion dungeons for players to conquer: Black Rook Hold, Court of Stars, Darkheart Thicket, Eye of Azshara, Neltharion’s Lair, and Vault of the Wardens. Players who want a more challenging experience can use a Timeworn Keystone, which effectively functions like a Mythic keystone in current Shadowland content. Keystones increase the difficulty of the experience, and higher level keystones will add a unique effect to Legion dungeons in the form of the Infernal affix. When the affix is active, a Legion invasion will occur near certain bosses, adding to the encounter’s difficulty.
But a limited-time event wouldn’t be complete without some new rewards, and Legion Timewalking has those too. As detailed by Blizzard, a new hippogryph mount, new transmog options, and a new toy will be available for purchase in exchange for Timewarped Badges, which are acquired from defeating Legion bosses during the event and completing an event quest.
Legion Timewalking will also bring back one of the expansion’s most beloved features, the Mage Tower. While the event is active, players will be able to tackle the tower’s challenges to score new Legion-themed rewards. There isn’t currently an exact date for when the event will go live, but it should be within the next few weeks.
The event comes as part of Shadowlands patch 9.1.5, which is set to bring a number of fan-requested changes alongside alterations to older, more problematic content when it releases on November 2. It will be the first patch for World of Warcraft following multiple lawsuits and investigations into alleged sexual harassment and discrimination at Activision Blizzard. BlizzCon 2022, Blizzard’s annual convention, was recently canceled. Blizzard will be using the next year to instead focus on its development teams and reimagine the future of the event.
