In a twist, Overwatch 2 skipped the BlizzConline opening ceremony, but Jeff Kaplan and the team had plenty – and I mean plenty – to cover in the ensuing "Behind the Scenes of Overwatch 2" presentation. From new maps like Rome a...

Blizzard cannot escape its past. Look, they've made some really great games as of late. World of Warcraft waxes and wanes, naturally, but some modern expansions have made incredible advancements. Diablo III also sold incredibly we...

It took a while, but we made it. We made it to the Diablo section of BlizzConline 2021. What's new with Diablo IV? A class – the Rogue. That was Blizzard's big reveal, at least for the opening ceremony. Game director Luis Barriga sai...

Fresh off of several expansions (as is the custom for Hearthstone), Blizzard is ditching the Year of the Phoenix rotation and heading into the Year of the Griffin. Ysera the Dreamer, Malygos the Spellweaver, and Deathwing the Destroyer are ...

This moment has been a long time coming for Destructoid readers. For years we've mused on our favorite expansions and moments in World of Warcraft history. While Wrath of the Lich King took the top spot as the most-favored expansion, B...

World of Warcraft proper was not left out of the BlizzCon 2021 news cycle, as Shadowlands is still trucking. Well, I might add! I still play it weekly, and it looks like I'm going to have a lot more to do soon when the "Chains of ...

Blizzard is always down to mine nostalgia, and they're doing just that...thrice, today. Live at BlizzCon 2021, the publisher has announced "The Blizzard Arcade Collection," which is an "enhanced release" of The Lost Vikings, Rock N Roll Rac...

The cat might be out of the bag with multiple leaked announcements, including Burning Crusade Classic, but there are still surprises in store for BlizzConline 2021, the streaming-only stand-in for BlizzCon. The two-day digital event starts...

[Update: Blizzard has posted the full BlizzConline schedule for February 19–20. The opening ceremony will be just over an hour long, and most of the notable talks will be held on the first day of the show. "Behind the Scenes of Over...

Amid a recap of a "crazy 2020," as Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan calls it, is a kernel of info on Overwatch 2. Or rather, a later date in which we'll actually hear more about it. In addition to Diablo IV, Overwatch 2 wi...

Oh yeah, Diablo IV! I don't know what I occasionally forget this one exists, though it's probably because I'm so used to there not being a Diablo game in active development. There was a 12-year gap between Diablo II and III, and n...

BlizzCon Online is slated to stream on February 19-20: a format that Blizzard can easily control the messaging for and be shielded from potential "boos" from the audience. But unlike previous shows, there will not be a "premium pass" or any...

After scrapping its plans for an in-person event this year due to COVID-19-related "health and safety considerations," Blizzard hopes to "channel the spirit of BlizzCon into the form of an online show." As we now know, the replacement event...

After acknowledging that BlizzCon 2020 was very much up in the air, Blizzard has called off the event. According to BlizzCon executive producer Saralyn Smith, the company is currently exploring options for an online replacement event that c...

It's a confusing time for anyone who's trying to plan life beyond, like, a week from now. This pandemic has the status of everything up in the air, as no one truly knows how long COVID-19 restrictions will be in place. Will it be safe to go...

During last week's BlizzCon 2019 event, Blizzard Entertainment revealed the existence of Overwatch 2, which will see the now-famous roster of misfit heroes continue their payload-pushing adventures into a new title, bringing new modes, maps...

All too often in game development (or film, for that matter, RIP old Dr. Who episodes), you hear about "lost" archival masters. It's why I'm so into preservation: you hate to see it. Well thankfully Blizzard pretty much keeps everythin...

Diablo is back in full swing at BlizzCon 2019 with the reveal of Diablo IV. Going along with its "return to the series' dark roots," Blizzard opened up a fully fledged museum on the show floor, and man does it look crazy. Dubbed the "d...

Late last night Blizzard kicked off their final main panel of BlizzCon's Friday festivities: Hearthstone. Although new cards and the reasoning behind the new dragon-centric set were the toast of the town, Blizzard also took the time to let ...

During the Heroes of the Storm deep dive panel at BlizzCon this week, the Heroes team took the opportunity to focus mostly on Deathwing, the "most requested hero ever," but there's a few tidbits near the end that will probably res...

After the kerfuffle it caused last year, most fans were pretty sure Blizzard wouldn't utter a peep about Diablo Immortal during the opening ceremonies of this year's BlizzCon. They were right. Rather than relive the drama it caused in ...

The time has come for the post-opener panels for more granular information for the projects unveiled at BlizzCon this year, and that includes a deep dive into World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, the next expansion. Due sometime in 2020 (likely ...

The veil has been lifted from the "mystery panels" at BlizzCon, and following the opening ceremony, Blizzard is leading with what is arguably the biggest news out of BlizzCon: Diablo IV. The project was allegedly "held back" from being show...

I've seen every BlizzCon in the history of the company, and this one has got to be one of the weirdest. After the crowd turned on Blizzard last year over Diablo Immortal, we got Diablo IV in the best way possible: a really good horrifi...
