Discussion

I ask this question because I just rescheduled an important appointment to watch BlizzConline and I'm wondering if it's just me here.

I'm not saying that's going to be the case, but it's been a year and then some since the big Diablo 4 reveal at BlizzCon 2019, and even though we've seen numerous Developer Updates on the game, one thing we haven't seen is any news of any new classes being added after the Druid, Sorceress, and Barbarian announced at that time.

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.
