Blizzard Watch Podcast: BlizzCon bound, baby! (in 2026, anyway)

Joe started off the podcast this week eating crow as he reflected on his prior assertion that BlizzCon would never happen again. But, Blizzard announced that BlizzCon returns September 12-13 2026. He’s not mad at all, just surprised — as all our hosts were.
After that, it’s a little tough to focus on everything else that happened this week. The Race to World First is still on in Liberation of Undermine, Brann getting a nerf in Delves — but, come on, BlizzCon! The chat about Diablo 4‘s announced difficulty boost to Torment brought us back into gory reality a bit.
Plus, we discuss the BAFTAs survey on the most influential game of all time, and what our picks might be.
