Gul'dan is basically the best character in Warcraft lore, right? We can agree on this? The villain, who is largely responsible for bringing in a demonic

Blizzard have been busy with announcements since yesterday, with the reveal of the first post release character, Pharah's mum Ana. However, that isn't the only thing coming, as the game is getting tweaked Perhaps the biggest and most immediate one is that you will only be able to have one of each character on a team[...]

Well, here we go. The first post release character for Overwatch has finally been revealed. As expected, it is a medic sniper who can heal and damage

Yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment released a trailer for Harbingers, a new World of Warcraft: Legion animated series about the followers of Illidan Stormrage. The first full episode of Harbingers will debut at the Warcraft: Road to Legion panel at SDCC, where attendees will get to learn more about Legion from Blizzard's James Waugh, Dave Kosak, Matt Samia[...]

There is one called 'Behind the Scenes of Overwatch's Newest Hero' and it will take place during convention at an unspecified point. The expectation is that the character will be a support sniper thanks to recent hints by Blizzard, and some expect it to be the long rumoured Sombra character We will have to see in[...]

Diablo has been a little quiet for a while now content wise, but the game remains pretty popular, and any news coming from its depths is always greeted

Overwatch is a brilliant game, but it is no secret that it could really use some work on a couple modes to really bolster the multiplayer modes. Well,

Viewers can provide input about the build as well as ask the show hosts for tips and suggestions on their own cosplay projects. In tonight's initial launch stream the team will start on their latest project to make a full set of armor based on a popular character from the hit game Overwatch by Blizzard Entertainment[...]

So much so that several of her opponents have reported her directly to Blizzard Korea for suspected cheating Several players even bet their Overwatch careers on it, while at least one even threatened to "vist her house with a knife" if she was found cheating. Gegury has now been cleared of all suspected cheating charges though, ending[...]

Blizzard have announced that the game has now been experienced by 10 million players That is a lot for a new IP. Enthusiasm for the game seems to be maintaining, as the number of people who've played it goes up and up I think Overwatch is going to be with us for some time still. Far[...]

The Honest Trailer folks have done up an Honest Game Trailer for the new Blizzard game Overwatch Some of the points made in the trailer are very accurate… like the losing track of time while playing, how overpowered Bastian is and those damn escort carts are slow But the feedback on the game has been[...]

From the expansion of cross play and the idea of iterative consoles, everything we took for granted about a multiple console market is being thrown out. That hasn't missed Blizzard's gaze either When asked by a user on Twitter if the company was planning any sort of cross play support, the official Twitter account didn't exactly[...]

Blizzard have announced that 7 million people have been playing the game since launch, and that number is only rising They also said that the game have been played for over 119 million hours, which shows that there is a fair bit of playtime person to person. Now lets just get competitive mode in and start rolling[...]

It seems someone on Blizzard's social media team got the wrong end of the stick The account has now issued a correction confirming the mode is indeed coming this month In a Tweet they said: @adrianmaturell Sorry about this! Competitive Play will be coming later in *JUNE*, not July Apologies again for the error ???? — Overwatch[...]

Blizzard have taken to Twitter to announce that the game will be missing the first projected June date, and will instead be hitting in July In a Tweet to a fan, they said: @jurizar3 We're aiming for mid-to-late July. — Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) May 27, 2016 This is a little disappointing, as since I have most of my favorite[...]

I'm sure people have thought of what it would be like to play Blizzard's popular online card game Hearthstone in physical form Well, now you can…sort of…Skylanders has mimicked Hearthstone with their new game Skylanders Battlecast. That card design looks a bit familiar doesn't it? Thankfully, they still make commercials that show a bunch of kids playing it so we can[...]

It really is a delightful cast of characters, and what makes all of them standout is just how fun each and everyone of them is to play.  For me, what really gives Blizzard's newest IP since 1998 a real sheen of quality is just how well everything in the title works together The balancing of 21[...]

I've been playing it pretty hard the last two days, and I am all over the play and style it sports. One of the things that I am loving most though is the subtle bits of narrative and story that trickle through the maps and in game character chatter. It seems that the idea of a 'campaign'[...]

Has Legendary and Blizzard figured out how to do it? The early reviews seem to cast some doubt on that But I'll still be there opening weekend to watch a live-action battle of Horde and Alliance and see the world of Azeroth. Warcraft opens June 10th.

Conan O'Brien has been having a fair bit of fun with his Clueless Gamer series for quite some time now. They've been really dun little bits, and despite a

And if you check that listing on Amazon, they have only one left in stock and it's estimated to arrive May 25th – 31st. So what happened to this edition? How many people does it effect? I'm reaching out to Blizzard for comment You'd think they'd work a deal so that the people effected would be[...]

Despite having probably the most SEO inspired video game name in the world, it also bears a rather striking resemblance to Blizzard's Overwatch Posted by imgur user rebir12, you can see a developer pitching the game, which actually seems to propose it as a mobile game That I would like to see. Take a look at the[...]

Then again, Blizzard's cinematic work has often been excellent, so perhaps this shouldn't be surprising. We now have the fourth in the series and while the others have often pitted one character against the other, this time Soldier 76 is out solo  It seems he is channeling a bit of Batman here too, with the scene[...]

But Blizzard shouldn't worry too much about the drop in subscribers, with the Legion expansion only three months away and this little game called Overwatch coming out next week. How big is Overwatch? 9.7 Million players jumped in on the recent beta from over 190 countries 4.9 Billion minutes played over the short window that the[...]

I got a bit of a cryptic email from the folks at Blizzard / Overwatch telling me I should stop by Hollywood and Highland today starting at 10 A.M PST for an Overwatch surprise They also linked to the below twitter post. Overwatch kicks off on May 24th If anyone is in the area and plan[...]

I've recently become a fan of Blizzard's mobile app card game Hearthstone The expansion, Whispers of the Old Gods, is what originally brought me in Not having knowledge of the massive quantity of cards available, I started small like everyone else However, the Whispers of the Old Gods cards were incredibly easy to point out[...]

I've really enjoyed the Overwatch shorts that have come out. There have been two so far, and they really help flesh out the world in meaningful ways,

Don't cheat in Overwatch. Blizzard have decided to make that plainly apparent In a post online, Blizzard outlined that they are taking a zero tolerance standpoint on cheating in Overwatch If you are caught cheating even once, you are in for a perma-ban The post says: If a player is found to be cheating—or using hacks, bots,[...]

Blizzard really do have an enormous amount of clout Fans will eat up what they put out, and for good reason Most everything they put out is really great. That's why it's not surprising to find out that the Overwatch beta did gangbusters It hit 9.7 million users across al platforms, making it more popular than[...]

Blizzard have announced, as is becoming common for betas, that it's being extended a day It will now run until May 10 at 10:00 a.m PDT, so get on it if you haven't. And I mean that I've been bitten by the bug quite severely This is a really neat multiplayer first person shooter Get on it[...]
