Blizzard Watch Weekly

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.

Oh, what a week.

It's been a quiet holiday week in the US, which means news has been a little thin as everyone scatters for the holidays.

We're one week farther into 2025 which means we're one week closer to Player Housing, which hits early access on December 2.

I can stop staring at the login screen any time I want.

There's not much longer to wait for the Midnight beta to launch, but if you're waiting for the latest news about Midnight (and/or player housing), you may as well catch up on last week's news first.

Here at Blizzard Watch, the staff has been abuzz about Midnight ever since it was announced, but this week we're a little more abuzz because the beta test was just announced — and that brings us one step closer to launch.
