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.

Join us as we discuss the launch of The War Within early access, the new Alleria animated short, the end of our beloved WoW: Remix (for now), the mercenaries coming to Diablo 4, and the release date of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Site writer Phil Ulrich joins as we discuss what’s involved, and not involved, in The War Within’s upcoming early access, the balance changes that arrived with patch 11.0.2, and Diablo 4 offering WoW-themed transmog as well as a Sparklepon— uh Celestial Steed.

To prove we aren’t all doom and gloom and actually love games (no really), we also cover the pleasant surprises in Diablo 4 Season 5, the potential of the new dev team dedicated to working on AA games using Blizzard properties, and how Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 8 will be giving us the Old God-infused baked goods we didn’t know we needed in our lives.

We're two weeks away from The War Within early access and many World of Warcraft players are finishing up their WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria plans while fighting off the Radiant Echoes for gear and collectibles.

Our wonderful Editor-in-Chief, Liz Harper, has questioned my devotion to alt leveling during World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria and The War Within's pre-expansion event.

While there was a lot of discussion of what effect the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger might have on the games industry in the long term, there hadn't been a lot of visible effect outside of perhaps some effect on Diablo 4's launch.

It's been a busy week in Blizzard games with the launch of patch 11.0.1, but let's start out with the new War Within trailer, a no dialog affair that's all about the vibes (and maybe the characters, too).
