The days around holidays are usually slow news days, but Blizzard surprised us yesterday with details on the next Heroes of the Storm hero and a rundown of 2018 plans for Overwatch.

There are 26 heroes in Overwatch so far -- how well do you know them all?

Today we had a special request from Buffalo, who asked for a buffalo-themed Queue for his birthday. Apparently this is a tradition that I have previously missed, but it seems we have dutifully carried it out in the past, so I will do my best with this fine image of bison, above.

You all aren’t just joking with us about this, right? Is it really someone’s birthday? I hope it’s really someone’s birthday, otherwise I’m going to feel pretty silly about this.

Are you looking to play a Void Elf in Battle for Azeroth, or indeed any of the Allied Races -- Highmountain Tauren, Lightforged Draenei or Nightborne?

We're looking at patch 7.3.5 within a month, two at the absolute most.

It's official, people: we're living in the future.

It's been a busy year for Blizzard as they focused on expanding World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm.

Legion has arguably been one of the most content-packed expansions ever released.

The Overwatch team wanted to jump out of the gate with a bang, so they gave us a new developer update video on the second day of the new year.

Alongside the new In Development video and Blaze hero spotlight, Heroes of the Storm has released its next round of PTR patch notes, and they're simultaneously surprising and underwhelming.
