The complete disrespect for Heroes of the Storm
So, are you satisfied?
I’m not really sure if I am. BlizzCons can be like that, sometimes.
The news that Diablo IIis coming back should make a lot of people happy, as we all collectively grind 1000+ hours in it together all over again: but with shiny new visuals! Burning Crusadecoming to World of Warcraft Classicis also very cool news, and it’s even cooler that it’s included in the base subscription fee on top of ClassicVanilla. One can hope that Blizzard keeps all of this going and hits Wrath of the Lich Kingand beyond.
The arcade collection is rad because that trio of games deserves to be remembered, and a lot of the other news was…expected. There’s not a whole lot of bomb shells this time around, which kind of makes sense given that it was a pushed-back digital-only event. Usually BlizzCon has the chance to be more bombastic; sometimes to its detriment. Can you believe Overwatch 2wasn’t even in the keynote?!
That said, it’s a crying shame there was no Heroes of the Stormshowing today. That team has continuously put in work when at any given time, some bigger titles are resting on their laurels. They deserved a small spotlight today, even a recognition of their efforts. Sadly, there will be nothing showing for the game in particular even over the weekend.
