Warcraft

We've covered the significant changes made to Classic Hardcore including the permadeath, dungeons, the new Duel to the Death system, and the other various things you need to know about Hardcore realms before jumping in this Thursday, August 24 at 3 p.m.

When Dragonflight patch 10.1.7 releases on September 5, it will have a few new quality-of-life and accessibility features, most notably a new ping system for players to use in all levels of content.

I keep thinking about what the next expansion for World of Warcraft will be, where it will take us, and what we'll be doing once we get there.

I ask myself often which World of Warcraft expansion is my favorite, because I don't know the answer.

Patch 10.1.7 for Dragonflight will be releasing the week of September 5 and that gives us an opportunity to deduce when patch 10.2 may be arriving later this year.

Right now, the two games battling for supremacy atop my personal heap of video games I'm trying to play are Diablo 4 and Baldur's Gate 3, while I've sort of taken a break from World of Warcraft for a while (although that gets harder every passing day).

There's been very little news about the upcoming Warcraft Rumble mobile game — in Activision Blizzard's forth quarter 2022 financial results (released on February 6), the game was continuing regional testing and was still in development, but nothing more.

Update: Patch 10.1.7 is now live!

I've fallen back into World of Warcraft Classic thanks to the announcement of Hardcore realms coming on August 24, but instead of rolling a character on the PTR to give Hardcore a try, I decided to roll another Night Elf Druid and start from scratch.

Dragonflight is World of Warcraft's ninth expansion, and later this year will be the 19th year since the game released.
