Is anyone else still voraciously consuming BlizzCon 2026 content? Watching missed panels, reactions and thoughts by content creators, analysis and predictions, etc.?

No? Just me? Great.

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we ponder just how much time we’ll end up investing in WoW: Forever while daydreaming about Hearthstone Monks — and answering your questions.

During BlizzCon 2026, the Diablo 4 developers confirmed that development on the game will continue beyond the upcoming Season 15, Season of Hell’s Legacy, with future seasons — plural — already planned.

BlizzCon 2026 has a ton of Hearthstone news, and Battlegrounds was not left behind: a new minion type, Aberrations, will be introduced to the game with Patch 36.6.1, releasing on September 22.

We're finally getting the Monk class in Hearthstone, in March 2027.

As expected from their recent teasers on social media, the new Hearthstone expansion will take us back to cosmos-spanning adventures: Reign of the Black Empire will bring the Old Gods back to Hearthstone — again — but this time, things seem more serious.

No time to talk. Blizzcon is almost here! Excitement is in the air!

This is The Queue, our daily column where questions get asked about BlizzCon, and answers are given about BlizzCon. At least this time.

This week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl celebrates its past World Champions.

I am the sugary dream…

The muffin in your midnight cravings…

The cake of a thousand layers!

Cower before my buttery form!

BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF PASTRIES!

This is The Queue, a daily Q&A column where we would like to consume the flesh and blood of an ancient godlike being, as long as it tastes like lava cake.

I’m fascinated by the first revealed boss in the upcoming Megaman game, Twinkle Girl. First of all, because it’s a breath of fresh air that they’re no longer confined to just “[Something] Man” (EDIT: or “Woman”) anymore. But second, because she just looks so friendly!

Look at her!

This is The Queue, our daily Q&A column where we absolutely can’t believe Twinkle Girl is gonna be just a disposable villain. Come on now! Playable Twinkle Girl adventures or riot!!!

I hear sneks are all the hiss lately. Everybody’s got sneks on their brains. Sneks are hogging all the sunlight. They’re the flavor of the month, and it tastes like venom. They just keep slithering their way into every conversation.

This is the Queue, our daily Q&A column where snakes are so hot right now (ambient temperature permitting; give them twenty minutes under a warm rock or something).
