I think a lot about BlizzConline and how it's going to fill the BlizzCon-sized hole in all of our greedy little tell us everything hearts, and honestly, I think the most shocking announcement they could make, the absolutely craziest thing would be one of two potential announcements -- either a brand-new IP along the lines of Overwatch which they managed back in November of 2014, or literally nothing.

With Monday being the 30th anniversary of Blizzard Entertainment, they released info on some of the new merchandise that'll be available for purchase during BlizzConline starting the 19th.

Activision Blizzard's investor call for the fourth quarter of 2020 was chock-full of interesting info, such as the expected fact that Diablo 4 won't be released in 2021, and the disappointing news that the same is true of Overwatch 2.

So we're likely to get Diablo Immortal this year, and according to the recent Q4 2020 Earnings Call, Blizzard is working on more mobile games.

Sire Denathrius is out, and all of Castle Nathria is finally available to players who primarily raid through LFR -- and I find that kind of strange.

Last Friday, Blizzard made a balance pass on the Adventure Table for the Covenants, and while I haven't been enamored with the feature, writing about it got me thinking about the other Sanctum Upgrades, and which ones I am enjoying in Shadowlands.

In Battle for Azeroth, the loot flowed like water.

I was all for increasing my Renown when it meant that I had more of the Covenant Campaign story to see in Shadowlands.

With the release last week of the Darkmoon Races mini-set for the Madness at the Darkmoon Faire expansion, I thought now would be a good time to talk about its new Battle Pass-style mechanic and see how everyone's doing with it.

It's been a long time since Blizzard has gone swimming in the real-time strategy pool.
