Blizzcon

During the Voices of War: Horde vs Alliance panel at BlizzCon 2018, we were treated to a live rendition of "Daughter of the Sea" sung in character by Jaina Proudmoore's voice actress Laura Bailey, and composer Logan Laflotte!

With any new Overwatch hero or skin, fans of the game rush to show their love, usually via fan art or tweets in all caps.

I sat down with Lead Writer Michael Chu and Lead Character Artist Renaud Galand from the Overwatch team to talk about the newly announced hero, Ashe.

Overwatch's new hero Ashe has a ton of new abilities that everyone will be able to test out soon when she goes live on PTR, but, thanks to Emongg's Twitch.tv stream with Game Director Jeff Kaplan we now have a good idea of how she works.

After what I can genuinely only describe as a "hype roller coaster" surrounding what would or would not be revealed at BlizzCon for the Diablo franchise, we finally got our answer today.

Heroes of the Storm is adding the first wholly new character in its line-up: Orphea, the Heir of the Raven Court on November 13th.

During the BlizzCon 2018 opening ceremony, Blizzard gave us the gift of an Overwatch McCree animated short that takes place on Route 66, titled "Reunion".

BlizzCon is always one of those moments that kind of erases the normal scheduling in my head, which is why I completely forgot I still have to write the Queue until like just now. Just now is like an hour before it’s supposed to go live.

Anyway, let’s chat. I’m not panicking, you’re panicking.

In just over 24 hours, BlizzCon 2018 will kick off in earnest -- and that all starts with the opening ceremony, which is where all the big announcements are made.

BlizzCon is almost here!
