I'll be 100% honest: I thought BlizzCon was dead.

After you've successfully completed the Liberation of Undermine raid in any difficulty (including Story Mode) a series of epilogue quests become available dealing with the aftermath of your victory.

Yup, I’m riding around Night City in all black and riding an all black bike thanks to the feature where you can change the color on some vehicles, which just so happens to include this bike.

This particular V is significantly more aggressive than earlier incarnations — my current loadout includes the x-MOD 2 variants of the Umbra assault rifle, the MA70 HB light machine gun, and the Pozhar combat shotgun which is crazy strong thanks to the Kneel! mod. I’m also switching in some non x-Mod weapons like Ol’Reliable and scouring the airdrops for the Techtronical special weapons. This time, I’m definitely a solo — haven’t touched a cyberdeck and primarily use a Sandevistan for ease of targeting as well as keeping enemies at a distance.

It’s a lot of fun so far. Might try a chrome compressor build sometime.

Mortal Shell makes for a interesting twist on the Soulslike genre, and I know I'm interested in literally any game I can get for free ninety-nine.

The Liberation of Undermine Race to World First continues to be spicy, as top guilds Liquid and Echo trade off world first boss kills.

With this week's opening of the "Story Mode" of the Liberation of Undermine raid players who have not had the opportunity to defeat Chrome King Gallywix in the raid at Normal or higher difficulty (the fight doesn't open for LFR for another two weeks) now have the opportunity to complete the campaign and see all the story that patch 11.1 has to offer.

This week's Hearthstone Tavern Brawl is the coffee-themed Half and Half Tavern Brawl.

World of Warcraft Patch 11.1.5 hit the PTR this week, allowing us a quick peek into the next patch and its features, including the new Cooldown Manager.

One of the more unique features added in The War Within patch 11.1 was the Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences (D.R.I.V.E.) system, giving each player an incredibly fast hot rod to blast around Undermine.

BlizzCon 2026 is happening and I couldn’t be more excited! Well, that’s not true — I’d be a lot more excited if we were getting BlizzCon 2025. That said after BlizzCon 2024 was cancelled I wasn’t sure if we’d ever have another one again so it’s welcome news that the event isn’t dead yet.

As for whether or not I’ll try to attend I’m actually leaning towards it; I’ve yet to go to a BlizzCon so it’d be a new experience. The only concern is flying out there — I’d rather drive but Carolina to California may be too much of a haul. Of course it’s not just planes that give me anxiety as I’m not fond of large crowds anymore either. Now that I think about it I’ll probably be happier staying home and watching it on screen instead of in person. I guess I have 18 months to make up my mind.

Whether or not I go though I’m curious what’s going to be announced. If Midnight is out early next year as expected it seems a little too soon to be talking about The Last Titan (although the Northrend visual in the trailer suggests that could be the case). It’s definitely too early to talk about what’s after the Worldsoul Saga, right? Maybe it’s spinoff time!

While I dream about a Heroes of the Storm revival, let’s answer some questions!
