BlizzCon

There are rumors swirling around about what we might get at this year's BlizzCon -- everything from Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 to a potential WoW expansion announcement.

It's September 10th as I write this, and we've heard very little about patch 8.2.5 as yet -- there's been little movement on the PTR about it, which means that we have no real idea when it will drop.

So this morning, Blizzard posted the new key art for BlizzCon 2019 to their Twitter, and in the process, got a lot of people wondering what Sylvanas' role will be in the upcoming expansion.

Okay, let's face facts -- it doesn't look good for StarCraft news at BlizzCon 2019.

The question is simple: is Blizzard going to reveal Diablo 4 this BlizzCon?

During last BlizzCon's opening ceremony, despite uploading screenshots every couple seconds like my hair was on fire, a particular pin worn by several of the executives gave me pause.

I will be up front -- I am an old curmudgeon and I hate change and newfangled things, even as I am also violently opposed to nostalgia and the idea that change is bad and we should keep the old ways.

This year's BlizzCon 2019 ticket sales are coming really, really soon, so you'll need to be ready to grab some before they sell out.

In 2017, Blizzard did a really big Gamescom reveal, with Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft all seeing fairly large announcements, as well as Overwatch dropping the Mei short video for folks.

Now that BlizzCon dates have been posted, it's time to speculate on what we might see announced.
