Blizzard is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary in the run-up to BlizzConline next week. Today, they’ve taken the celebration to the next level by opening up their content vaults to give fans an inside look at early concept art for its biggest games. The Overwatch concept art, in particular, is an incredible look back at
Today, Blizzard Entertainment is revealing some of the goodies you can get as part of their BlizzConline event. As you’ll recall, last year’s BlizzCon was delayed due to COVID-19, so now the whole thing has moved online and is free. Of course, if you want, you can slap down some cash and get different digital
In 2018, Blizzard Entertainment’s Heroes of the Storm was arguably at its strongest. The game was constantly being updated with new and interesting Heroes, the dev team was consistently delivering fun events like Nexomania and the Toys Christmas, and, maybe most importantly, the Heroes Global Championship. This esports event saw Blizzard producing some of the
Diablo 4 is likely still pretty far out. Obviously, it would be incredibly cool for Activision-Blizzard to stealth-drop the game at BlizzConline next year; however, I think the best case is next fall. And even that feels more like wishful thinking than anything. That all said, the team is back with yet another quarterly update.
Activision-Blizzard announced that they are filing a lawsuit against Netflix for allegedly poaching their Chief Financial Officer back in 2018. According to the company, Spencer Neumann resigned from Activision on December 31st, 2018 and two days later announced his new CFO position with Netflix. This is despite signing a three year contract with Activision that
I’ll never forget the first time I saw the original World of Warcraft cinematic. The level of detail and fidelity was absolutely jaw-dropping back in 2004. Sixteen years later the cinematic team hasn’t lost that flair for cinematic. Today, we finally got to see what Shadowlands‘ cinematic looks like, and, as you might expect, it’s
World of Warcraft: Shadowlands was set to launch on PC later this month. Between the series of Afterlives shorts and the relatively well-received beta, it seemed like it was on track to hit its October 27 release date. Today we learned that is no longer the case and the game has been delayed to sometime
Diablo 4 is still in the middle of development, which means the team at Blizzard is slowly rolling out new details in the form of quarterly updates. Previous blogs have given players a look at things like the open world, story-telling, and the Barbarian’s Arsenal system. The newest update gives us a better look at
Even if you haven’t played World of Warcraft in a while (or maybe ever), you’ve likely heard of Thrall. The former Warchief of the Horde is, outside of maybe Jaina Proudmoore and Arthas Menethil, the most well-known character from Warcraft lore. Less is known about his mother Draka, though that could be changing once Shadowlands
Between launching the massively successful battle royale, Call of Duty: Warzone and not following their standard roadmap for revealing the year’s Call of Duty release, the Call of Duty franchise has had an interesting year. Not only has this year’s release not been revealed, but the three-year development cycle that alternates between Treyarch, Sledgehammer and Infinity Ward has
If there’s one thing Hearthstone is missing in 2020, it has to be its own version of Hogwarts. Fortunately for fans of the card game, that all changes next month when the latest expansion drops. Scholomance Academy takes players to their very own school of witchcraft and warlockery. Included in the new curriculum are several
I’ve been playing World of Warcraft off-and-on for the better part of two decades. It’s been a lot more off than on for the last few years, but the point stands that I’m a long-in-the-tooth WoW player. As each expansion launches, I hope that Activision-Blizzard can find a way to recapture the magic from the
If you’re a big Crash Bandicoot fan the last few weeks have been very kind to you. First of all Activision and Toys for Bob announced Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time then today we got the reveal of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run. Crash Bandicoot: On the Run. is an endless runner being developed
World of Warcraft Shadowlands held a new developer update today, which discussed several topics WoW fans are surely interested in. The main focus was on some of the endgame content, with covenants getting the majority of the talking time. There’s a lot to get into. If you’re so inclined, give the full video a watch.
Diablo 4 is an upcoming action RPG from the team at Activision-Blizzard. Recently, the team held an internal playtest that focused on the Dry Steppes region. Given that they did something similar last year ahead of the game’s reveal at Blizzcon 2019, it stands to reason that the original plan for this playtest was something
Today’s news that Activision-Blizzard officially canceled Blizzcon 2020 is certainly not a surprise. After all, most conventions around the world have had to shut down due to ongoing concerns around COVID-19. Just last week, we saw Gen Con and Essen close up shop for 2020, and they’re far from the only ones. That being said,
According to a new report from French news outlet Actugaming.net, 2020 might finally be the year that Diablo 2 gets its much-anticipated remaster. Of course, all of this is speculation, with the outlet citing “sources close to the studio”. However, Actugaming did correctly predict many of Blizzard’s big announcements at Blizzcon 2019. And, a Diablo
In an interview with CNBC, Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick says most of its games are on track following COVID-19. When asked if working from home would impact game development at Activision, Kotick said “I don’t know that we quite know yet. Most of the things that we have in production and development are on
Last month, Overwatch revealed the next hero coming to the game. Echo is a damage-dealing A.I. who promises to play a major part in the game’s ongoing narrative. After a week’s on the PTR, Echo is finally almost ready for primetime. Publisher Activision-Blizzard announced today that the next character will hit the live servers on
Just yesterday, the team at Overwatch gave us our first look at their 32nd hero Echo via a new origin story trailer. Today, the team has released the character onto the PTR and posted a lengthy update video. It gives you all the info you’d want on Echo’s story and her loadout. The whole thing
Longtime Overwatch fans might remember the newest hero Echo’s appearance in Ashe’s reveal video. There, she was rescued by McCree. Many fans have since been wondering when the hyper-intelligent AI would be making an appearance. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait much longer as the Overwatch team finally gave the long-awaited hero its very own
Activision-Blizzard’s Hearthstone has long been a major player in the company’s war chest of gigantic properties. The card-battler exploded onto the scene in 2014 and has since added more expansions and content than you can shake a stick at. Since 2016, the game has operated under a yearly system that sees new sets coming into
With last month’s sparse release lineup, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare returns to the top of the United States NPD Charts in February 2020. According to the sales data from the NPD Group, last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare was the best-selling game in the United States for February 2020. It was followed by
As events and leagues from the video game and beyond continue to postpone or shut down entirely, it ‘s no surprise to see the Overwatch League cancel their remaining events for the next few months. Concerns over the coronavirus have already forced GDC, SXSW, and E3 to close, and even major sports leagues like Serie
Today, Activision-Blizzard kicked off a brand new event in its popular online shooter Overwatch.

Activision-Blizzard may have underdelivered with their latest remaster; however, that doesn’t take away from the success that is WoW Classic. Letting players jump back 15 years and immerse themselves in the original World of Warcraft experience is such a treat. And now, worthy players can test their mettle in Blackwing Lair and try to defeat
Battle for Azeroth has certainly not been the best-received World of Warcraft expansion in the MMO’s long history. In fact, many fans consider it one of the weakest Blizzard has ever put out. However, the developers get one last push at giving players the quality content they crave with Visions of N’Zoth, the final content
I still vividly remember exactly where I was when (spoilers for a game that came out in 2002) Arthas made the heel turn to end all heel turns and murdered the entirety of Stratholm in Warcraft 3. I was on summer vacation at my cousin’s house. We were spending the week switching between blasting through
