Just when it seems like we've seen everything the crafty fans of Blizzard games can do, we're surprised by something new.

The Overwatch beta is sooner than many of us thought — my money was on a BlizzCon release — with closed beta headed our way before the end of this month on October 27.

Coming soon to the PTR is a big surprise: World of Warcraft's patch 6.2.3, which features Cataclysm-era Timewalking dungeons (plus a new Timewalking dungeon for both the Burning Crusade and Wrath eras), the chance to get a new Infinite Timereaver mount (above) from Timewalking bosses, cross-realm Mythic raiding, Valor points for Heroic and Mythic dungeons (which can be used to purchase ilvl upgrades for gear), a Grove Warden mount for defeating Heroic or Mythic Archimonde (meaning it will not be a store mount), Arena Season 3 (with new gear ranging from ilvl 715 to 740), and rewards up to ilvl 695 for players in Tanaan and 725 for players running Mythics.

Since Overwatch was initially announced nearly a year ago at BlizzCon, we've seen a parade of new heroes and maps revealed for the game.

Last week we got a sneak peek at the BlizzCon schedule, but today it seems we have the official (and slightly altered) version.

Every week Heroes of the Storm has some heroes you'd usually have to pay for that you can play for free in the free hero rotation, plus a number of heroes and skins on sale in the weekly sale.

Finally, the day of Pepe's glorious ascension has arrived: you can now own your very own Pepe in real life courtesy of the Blizzard Gear Store (in exchange for $20).

Can’t keep up with all of the great WoW-centric (and WoW-adjacent) webcomics out there?

While Blizzard hasn't officially announced it, they've quietly updated the BlizzCon 2015 schedule on the BlizzCon website and apps (for Android and iPhone).

This week in World of Warcraft, we have an Apexis Crystal bonus event running.
