BlizzConline Day 1 Has Ended!
The eagerly awaited first night started at 01:00 TRT. The show, which began as a single stream, continued on four separate channels after a performance by the famous band Metallica. On each channel there were talks about different games and chats about new features.
WoW Shadowlands' Chains of Domination Trailer Was the Talk of the Event
The trailer everyone was waiting for was shown at BlizzConline. The first detail that caught our eye was the Jailor controlling Anduin. Controlling Anduin, he goes to Bastion and kills its leaders. The leader's soul sets off from Anduin to pass into the Jailor's hands. We will see together how these developments affect the course of the story.
Diablo 4's New Member Rogue
Diablo 4's fourth class is the new member Rogue. This new member seen in the released trailer joined the Barbarian, Druid and Sorceresses classes as the fourth. We will see together how this development, which also pleased Diablo players who have wanted a change for years, will be reflected in the game.
Diablo 2 Resurrected Confirmed
The long-rumored Diablo 2 remake was confirmed with the trailer released at the event. Blizzard announced that it will release Diablo 2 Resurrected later this year on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X. An "alpha" version is on the way for PC.
In this new build, in which we will see all the game features from the past, Blizzard will not tamper with the game's dynamics and will preserve the logic of twenty years ago while blending it with today's technology.
Hearthstone's New Set Forged In The Barrens
On the first day of the event, the new theme and set were announced. This year's symbol became the Gryphon. A theme of 235 cards, called the Core set and combining the Basic and Classic sets, was shared. Along with it, 3 more new dragon cards were introduced. These are:
- Ysera The Dreamer
- Malygos The Spellweaver
- Deathwing The Destroyer
