With Shadowlands patch 9.0.5 being largely focused on systems and balancing, many World of Warcraft players have been waiting patiently for the continuation of the various story threads left dangling at the end of patch 9.0 content.

Seriously, how could this Queue NOT be about Splatoon 3’s reveal announcement? And even if it’s not actually called “Splathreen,” I’m still going to call it that for now because I find it hilarious (and also, RIP Spla2n, the title we never got).

Anyhow, I’m very excited about Splatoon 3, even if it is a long way away.

But enough about that. It’s Queue time.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore patch 9.0.5 currently on the PTR, what BlizzConline panels they are looking forward to, and how they think loot can be improved in WoW Shadowlands.

The rumors, much like the Dark Portal itself, have been swirling for a while now, and according to an accidental press-kit leak from Blizzard, it looks like they were true.

World of Warcraft did it first.

Even with all the hours players spent in the Shadowlands alpha and beta tests, you can't entirely see the impact of some game systems until the entire player base has a chance to explore it.

BlizzConline is coming soon, so since we can't celebrate together, it's time to think about throwing your party of one, and these three easy cocktail recipes will certainly help set the mood.

World of Warcraft is a game with a lot of content, and at max level players have a lot of activities to pursue.

Couldn’t sleep, head full of bad thoughts, and so it was time to run Tomb of Sargeras on Mythic, and it went better than I expected. Died a bunch but managed to clear it and kill Kil’jaeden, so that’s good.

This is the Queue.

This week, Matt Rossi and Joe Perez explore the history of the Drust, the feud between Odyn and Helya, and how the soulstones in the Diablo universe keep the demons in check.
