Overwatch is ringing in the Year of the Rat with its Lunar New Year 2020 celebration. The event just went live across PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, and it's running until February 6. In terms of character skins, there a...

Battle for Azeroth has been one of the most contentious World of Warcraft expansions in years, especially since it followed the near-unanimously praised Legion. While debate can rage on for decades to come in regards to its place in the exp...

If you can get to a PC (or console) between now and the start of the new year, you can clean up on some last-minute Overwatch extras. Basically, just sign into your account from now through January 2, and you'll net five more Winter-th...

World of Warcraft Classic is clinging to the past (admirably, I should say), but Battle for Azeroth is moving forward, for better or worse. But before Sylvanas becomes one of the most powerful characters in the current WoW un...

While not being able to server transfer initially lent credence to the whole authentic feel of World of Warcraft: Classic, it had to come eventually. The fact is WoW Classic demands a ton of time from players, so being able to transfer...

We don't have to wait much longer for Warcraft III: Reforged – it's launching for PC on January 28, 2020. It'll be playable through the Battle.net app, and the standard edition of the game costs $29.99. In a blog post, Blizzard said i...

As promised, Blizzard just implemented the "Toys 2" event in Heroes of the Storm, which brings back the popular "Toys" celebration. The gist? You're getting a free pack of challenges that unlock cosmetics, as well as the always-popular...

It's been quiet as of late, but Overwatch is bringing back its Winter Wonderland event in time for the holidays. This year, the seasonal update will be playable from December 10, 2019 to January 2, 2020. Across all of these events, Blizzard...

[Editor's Note: What a decade this has been. It's too soon to say how it will compare to those before it, but the past 10 years have been phenomenal for the video game industry. We've seen the meteoric rise of the indie devel...

I've been playing Heroes of the Storm for over four years now. There are very few games that manage to keep me captivated that long, but alas, the Heroes team managed to grab me where so many other MOBAs haven't. While others chase DOTA's f...

Diablo IV helped BlizzCon 2019 kick off right, washing off the blowback of Diablo Immortal in 2019. The classic Diablo style is back, and it looks like this is going to be a substantial game with some open-ended gameplay. But it's still a w...

It's been a while since we had a bit more written lore from the universe of multiplayer shooter Overwatch, but Blizzard are looking to fix that with a new novelette, Valkyrie, which is available to read online right now.The short story sees...

Stop me if you've done this before: you're playing your favorite card (or otherwise rank-based game), hit up your standard few matches for rewards, keep your ranking stable, then log off. It's a problem for both the publisher and the player...

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 ...

So you've heard the news: the confusingly named Overwatch 2 is coming, and will finally bring PVE elements into the world of Overwatch beyond limited time, limited in scope events. When is it coming? We don't know! PC, PS4, Xbox O...

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...

Blizzard announced Overwatch 2 as expected, formally lifting the veil on one of the worst-kept secrets of the past few months. But what does that mean for people who poured countless hours into the original Overwatch? How will they be ...

Echo isn't the only new character arriving with Overwatch 2. During the BlizzCon reveal, we also got a glimpse of another playable hero: none other than Sojourn. She's in! But Blizzard isn't saying any more. Sojourn has been on the peripher...
