Gamescom

So we have just learned that in the absence of their annual BlizzCon fan event/exposition/game announcement/demo/rock concert/eardrum-damaging lobby party, Blizzard has settled on February 19-20 for an online edition of the show.

It’s another queue, so we’re talking about just about anything and trying really, realyl hard to not make any typos. Even if I do, it’s cool — the Infinite Dragonflight means I can just change it in a different reality, and nobody will be the wiser.

Off to a great start!

In 2017, Blizzard did a really big Gamescom reveal, with Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft all seeing fairly large announcements, as well as Overwatch dropping the Mei short video for folks.

Five days after finally announcing this year's BlizzCon, Blizzard announced they would not have a booth at gamescom 2019, despite historically using that platform to reveal relatively major developments.

Mephisto is the newest hero entering Heroes of the Storm.

Diablo 3 launched in 2012.

If you missed out on the Patron of War title for your World of Warcraft characters, it's coming back during Gamescom.

You didn't think an awesome new cinematic was all the World of Warcraft news we would get from Gamescom, did you?

I know some folks really wanted a WoW expansion announcement at Gamescom this year.

Blizzard's really upping their swag game with the Gamescom loot.
