BlizzCon 2019: Summary of information about Blizzard’s annual event

Every year, Blizzard fans and employees gather in Anaheim, USA to discuss the developer’s stable of games and learn more about the company’s upcoming plans. While Blizzard is having a record year thanks to the successful launch of WoW Classic, the developer is having a hard time dealing with political issues in the game event. Either way, BlizzCon is coming up in a few weeks.

With the annual event approaching, we have a lot of rumors and leaks. Like E3, Tokyo Game Show or any major game event at the moment, it’s hard to keep everything a secret until the official announcement. There are a lot of interesting Blizzard rumors about the game’s major franchises, and this article will summarize:

OVERWATCH 2 ANNOUNCED TRAILER AND GAMEPLAY

Let’s start with the big game first. From a trusted Overwatch source, who has correctly predicted the characters announced in the past, shared some details about Overwatch 2 at BlizzCon 2019. With service games like Overwatch, it is really difficult. guess when the next part of the game comes out. Overwatch can launch new characters and events and still earn money, but it looks like it’s time for the sequel to arrive. If the game is announced at BlizzCon, we want to know if it has plans for the next-gen console. This is also a compelling reason to start a new era when PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will hit shelves at the end of 2020.

In addition to the PvE factor, Metro says Overwatch 2 will have a new leveling system that affects the way you play a hero. For example, Tracer’s Pulse Bomb can be upgraded. If the hero attaches a Pulse Bomb to an enemy, the bomb will also stick to the objects closest to it. It sounds like too strong for the current PvP of the game, maybe it will be for PvE

OVERWATCH STOP ADDING NEW HERO

Also from the source sharing the Overwatch 2 plan, the rumors around the new hero named Echo are not accurate. The source said that all the human resources are currently invested in developing Overwatch 2 and the first Overwatch has enough heroes. If this information is correct, it means Sigma will be the last character in Overwatch.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIABLO 4

The last time the Diablo franchise made a big announcement, it let a lot of fans down. Diablo Immortal is not what fans expected (or asked for), so Blizzard will try to win the hearts of Diablo fans. The promotional image from the art book may have leaked information about Diablo 4. The promotional image from the German magazine reads “…with over 500 drawings from Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, and Diablo 4. ” This may be a misunderstanding from the magazine, as it could also be Diablo Immortal instead of Diablo 4. But if it really is Diablo 4, the game will likely be announced at BlizzCon 2019 this time.

DIABLO 2 REMASTER

Metro predicts that Diablo’s announcements won’t stop at Diablo 4. Metro says it holds information about Diablo 2 Remaster being introduced as well. With that said, Blizzard is definitely trying to win back the hearts of Diablo fans, so this would be a completely right move.

WARCRAFT 3 REFORGED Release Date

Although Warcraft 3 Reforged BlizzCon 2018 received a lot of enthusiasm from fans, the game seems to have disappeared. The latest Warcraft 3 Reforged datamine shows that the beta and release date are near. If Blizzard wants to give fans something to give away when they leave, opening the Warcraft 3 Reforged beta would be a great idea.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT . EXPANSION

Although there is no information leaked, the formula for selling WoW expansions is quite predictable. Based on past announcements, it looks like Blizzard will introduce the next expansion of World of Warcraft (and with cinematic footage) and this expansion will be released in late summer 2020. The battle for Azeroth, though. continues, the conflict is gradually turning to the Old Gods. Maybe the next expansion will reunite the Horde and the Alliance to fight a common enemy.

In addition, this is also a good time for the WoW Classic team to share some timelines about the plan for phase 2 and what comes next. Again, we don’t have any leaks, but given how long WoW Classic has been out and Dire Maul’s presence, it seems like Phase 2 is very close.

Other than the well-known brands, we have no further rumors about other new brands or games. BlizzCon 2019 will take place from November 1 to 3.
