Blizzard Watch

I'm having a tough time working up the enthusiasm to tackle a new Diablo 4 season when I was just getting my character where I wanted it in the last Diablo 4 season.

Everything has been coming up Warcraft recently, as WoW patch 12.0.7's launch led directly to WoW patch 12.1's announcement, but this week is about Diablo.

I hope you're ready for patch news, because just a few days after launching WoW patch 12.0.7, Blizzard announced WoW patch 12.1, which is already live on the PTR.

Last week may have been the calm before (and after) the storm, without much in the way of news: but this week, there's activity everywhere.

We've very nearly survived another summer gaming showcase season — there's one more showcase today, and then we're in the clear for another year.

Summer Game Fest is coming on Friday, and we're pretty excited — not so much for the big corporate showcase, but for all of the fantastic smaller showcases that are going on all week.

We're between content releases for most Blizzard games right now, so it's a quiet week...

Liz went on a well-deserved vacation this week, so you got me back here to write the weekly wrapup again.

We're in a bit of a lull for Blizzard news this week, as World of Warcraft settles into patch 12.0.5, Diablo 4 settles into its latest expansion, and Classic waits for its next phases to launch (coming soon!).

Though we haven't come down from our Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred high, Blizzard has continued to bombard us with new announcements.
