What to expect from BlizzCon 2023

Hearthstone and World of Warcraft are both set to launch significant updates right after BlizzCon, with Hearthstone releasing its Showdown in the Badlands expansion and WoW launching its Dragonflight patch 10.2. While Hearthstone’s early announcement may hint at a new game mode, WoW is expected to focus on its next fall expansion and could also unveil big news for its 20th anniversary in 2024. The Classic version of WoW is garnering interest for its hour-long stage time, leading to speculation about possible announcements like Cataclysm Classic or new gameplay modes.

In the Diablo franchise, the first annual expansion for Diablo 4 is keenly awaited. The amount of detail revealed may depend on its targeted 2024 release timeframe. Additionally, a preview of what’s coming in Season 3 could be in the cards. Unlike Diablo, Overwatch 2 has not indicated any plans for expansions. The franchise is expected to show off future content including new heroes and maps. A new tank hero is confirmed, and other characters may also be revealed. Updates similar to the recently released Invasion mode and a rumored competitive overhaul could also be part of the agenda.

Overall, this year’s BlizzCon is shaping up to be a pivotal event, packed with updates and potential revelations for all major franchises. From expansions and new game modes to significant anniversaries and speculative announcements, there’s much for fans to anticipate.
