Blizzard Watch

Roadmap season is officially over for Blizzard games, as this year's 2026 plans for Hearthstone and Diablo both rolled out last week.

It's Monday, so it's time to try to catch up on the last week in Blizzard games.

Last week was a busy one for Warcraft fans as the State of Azeroth showcase dumped three roadmaps (and more) on our heads.

It's been a crazy week with the Midnight pre-patch rolling out, and then having to figure out brand new builds, and set up our UIs from scratch (with double the addons), and (worst of all) set up new transmogs for every single character.

It's a big month for World of Warcraft, with a pair of absolutely massive patches: WoW Classic Anniversary launched The Burning Crusade pre-patch last week, and modern World of Warcraft launches the Midnight pre-patch this week.

We're all still waking up from our holiday season slumber, with Blizzard starting to dole out new announcements for the new year.

It's been a quiet week at Blizzard Watch HQ as the winter holidays wind down and we work on winding up to face another long year.

It's been a quiet one here at Blizzard Watch HQ, and so I have scant news to report for the week.

The holiday season will always be light on news as Blizzard shuts down for the winter holidays, but plenty has been going on leading up to our wintery downtime — and there's certainly lots to do if you like holiday events.

It's a new week and I remain paralyzed by indecision about what to do with my new home in World of Warcraft, but in the meanwhile Diablo 4 announced some big news with a new expansion pack.
