Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred isn't due out until October, and if you've already finished Season 5 -- what's a gamer to do?

While many members of the World of Warcraft community love the look and feel of Skyriding, not everyone is a top pilot and looking for a turbulent ride.

The new continent of Khaz Algar has not just one, but two easy to get 34-slot bags for your World of Warcraft characters to acquire.

The War Within is bringing some changes to The Great Vault, making it a bit easier to earn a weekly piece of high-level gear.

Still a bear over here. Amazingly that hasn’t changed in the few days since we last saw each other. Look if Warcraft wanted me to be something else than they shouldn’t have made bear an option. Laying waste to my enemies with the raw power of 600 pounds of bear fury just is so much better than any of the other options. Warlocks and Hunters don’t even do most of their own fighting! They’re just delivery vectors for their pets.

Bear wins!

As is traditional in World of Warcraft, the pre-patch prior to The War Within expansion came with a limited-time event with gear and collectibles: Radiant Echoes.

In World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, we got used to accessing our Dragonriding — now Skyriding — talents from an easy-to-spot button on the minimap, where we also found our reputation panes for all of the expansion's factions.

With a new expansion comes some returning favorite bosses, now as tameable pets!

It's a busy week in Blizzard games — and in games in general.

Happy Friday, Watchers, and welcome to our pre-expansion edition of "what to play this weekend." Not all of us dove directly into World of Warcraft: The War Within when early access opened.
