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...

BlizzCon is going to be a hoot this year. We can expect a discontent crowd after Blizzard's misguided handling of the Hearthstone Hong Kong thing. We can also expect Blizzard to grovel for forgiveness, pulling out all stops to win over...
