Blizzard fans, gather 'round. By Felicia Miranda Updated: 8 Jul pm. YES NO. Was this article informative? In This Article. Release Date. Resident Evil 3 Remake is a Hit. A lot's changed! There have been some great new fight scenes that deserve recognition, but more than that, the way we look at movies has changed a lot too. The good news is Blizzard has already released the BlizzCon schedule , so you can begin mapping out what you want to watch on February 19 and To find the schedule, you can go here, but here's a quick summary of the things you won't want to miss:.

Because BlizzCon is also a chance for Blizzard to celebrate its 30th anniversary, we're hoping the show has a few surprises that wow us. With Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 not coming until , it feels like there's an enormous gap in Blizzard's games—and I'm secretly hoping it has an ace up its sleeve in the form of an announcement that will be coming this year.

A remastered Diablo 2 seems the most likely, considering all the rumors. Of course, you can expect lots of exciting news for individual games like World of Warcraft and Hearthstone. The only thing suspiciously absent from the show is Overwatch, which is basically in a state of limbo while Blizzard works on the sequel.

Sorry, Overwatch fans. WoW's eighth expansion launched back in November and it's pretty dang good. Players have been chewing through its endgame, leveling up their undead gang hideouts and exploring its roguelike dungeon. That's all well and fine, but like any good WoW player I have an insatiable hunger for new stuff and I'm dying to know what Blizzard has in store.

The big thing I'm expecting is a reveal of update 9. The development team has been tight lipped on new features, but I wouldn't let your imagination run wild.

The first patch of a main expansion is typically a bit smaller than the later ones. Expect the announcement of a new raid, some new ways to power up your character, and probably a new dungeon or two. Torghast, Shadowlands' roguelike dungeon will also probably get some new areas to explore. This is also a prime chance for Blizzard to address some of the biggest bits of feedback and announce how it's fixing Shadowlands' few issues, like the drought in good endgame gear. Blizzard has already said that it doesn't anticipate Diablo 4 to release this year , so don't get your hopes up.

It'll be exciting to get a closer look at its ongoing development to see how the game is coming together, but I doubt there'll be any big announcements. At best, I'm hoping we'll get a new cinematic trailer that's every bit as gnarly as the first one was. One big announcement I'm willing to put money on is a Diablo Immortal release date.
