Blizzard Watch Podcast: The BlizzCon mega episode

BlizzCon just wrapped, and so there is so much to talk about we couldn’t pack it all into an hour. We spent around an hour on WoW Forever, the new Classic+ that was rumored and is now coming to fruition with a sort-of alternate history. There was a lot of Midnight news too, including Talebound, which is an upcoming alt mode a la Plunderstorm. We got a small tidbit from The Last Titan, we saw Holly Longdale’s impeccable outfit — and that was just all the WoW stuff! No wait, it wasn’t. There’s also going to be Undead Paladins, to tie in to both a Warcraft 3 expansion and Wrath of the Lich King Remix, the portmanteau for which is still up in the air (I lean toward Wremix, but I’ve seen a few ReLiches too).

There were two very long-range reveals for Diablo 5 and StarCraft, not to mention a Netflix Diablo series with no ETA at all. The Hearthstone Battlegrounds new Anomaly family and the next Overwatch season (and next hero Doctrine) release next week though, for a little balance. The Hearthstone expansion Reign of the Black Empire is a bit further off, though, slated for October.

Did I forget anything? Something that a frequent guest host might find terribly exciting, like a new hero for Heroes of the Storm? Eh, probably not. I’d remember something like that.

Oh! Amazons! For Diablo 4! Liz was pretty excited about that. That must’ve been it.
