BlizzCon 2019 Highlights! Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands & Hearthstone.

So where to start lets start with the Opening Ceremony

The full opening ceremony is above.

This year's BlizzCon revealed two new games and two expansions to Blizzard's other existing franchises. Overwatch 2 is official, bringing co-op missions and a new multiplayer this is also including new heroes. Diablo 4 has also finally made its debut, I feel that there was enough blood and grime to show Blizzard is trying to differentiate it from Diablo 3.

Blizzard president J. Allen Brack briefly addressed last month's controversy over Hearthstone player Blitzchung's Hong Kong statement and his suspension. Brack apologized, but I feel that this was not very specific.

That controversy still hasn't completely blown over. Protesters have gathered outside the Anaheim, California convention center sporting "Free Hong Kong" signs while giving away free t-shirts.

Here's everything that's happened so far, and how to watch along.

Top Biggest BlizzCon 2019 announcements

Overwatch 2 is in development.

It's asequel, with a focus on co-op and new PvE modes. There are Hero Missions, Story Missions. Overwatch 2's PvP additions, like new maps and heroes, will be coming to Overwatch 1, as well, for a "shared multiplayer environment."

Another thing that I think is great is all of your skins and cosmetics you've earned in Overwatch will carry over to the sequel, so you won't lose anything jumping over to Overwatch 2. The first new hero, a Canadian named Sojourn, was announced but we don't know what her abilities are. Game director Jeff Kaplan also has "no idea" when Overwatch 2 will be released.

Diablo 4 was announced!

It looks AMAZING! It's all about satanic rituals, occult symbols, and lots of blood. Blizzard opened BlizzCon 2019 with an extended CG trailer setting up the story and then followed that up with a few minutes of gameplay footage. There's was multiple panels over the weekend that Did dive deeper into Diablo 4, Here are some things that we do know:

World of Warcraft's expansion is called Shadowlands.

It releases next year and will take players to an alternate realm of death and decay where they must choose one of several factions to align with to fight against Sylvanas. With Sylvanas duelling Bolvar, The Lich King, before using his helmet to tear open the sky and obliterate the barrier between Azeroth and The Shadowlands.

Shadowlands will implement sweeping changes to most of WoW's current systems and progression. We'll have a complete overview of those features soon, but some of the most noteworthy changes include a squished level cap of 60 and a new endgame dungeon that's basically a self-enclosed roguelike.

WoW Classic's next update comes on November 12.

Hearthstone's next expansion is Descent of Dragons,

It's got a bunch more dragons in it. The surprise: Hearthstone is getting a new mode, called Battlegrounds, inspired by the autobattle genre. It will be in beta soon.
