no one is literally here right now, also Nintendo is still providing us with jackets, shout out to them, I love you so much, yes, I'm very excited about the initial thoughts for those of you joining now, welcome, excited for Blizzcon because it's Blizzcon, but I'm sad about everything that's been happening, so for the sake of everyone who is attending. I hope you are safe. I hope everything is well for the staff. I hope you are well. I know they've been working hard on these games though. the decisions of the higher ups, but you know this is supposed to be a moment of celebration for them, so I hope Blizzard can correct the mistakes they have made, that's my opinion anyway, we'll see. this, this will start here any minute now, so yeah, I mean, it's right now, that's when it's supposed to start, there's two options.

I was completely not expecting this. They saw me writing on this forum. Okay, can you hear it? Well, I hope they are. addressing it right now I hope you guys are adjusting here right now before I start anything before we start the

opening

ceremony

I want to say a few words please know that Blizzard had the opportunity to unite the world in a time of tough esports and hard about a month ago and we didn't, we moved too fast in our decision making and then to make matters worse, we were too slow to talk to all of you.

Well, when I think about when they did everything so wrong, there are actually two things, the first. is that we did not live up to the high standards that we actually set for ourselves and the second is that we failed in our purpose, yes, and for that I am sorry and I accept responsibility, so what exactly is our purpose? Liz Khan is proving Even as we speak, we aspire to unite the world in epic entertainment and I truly believe in the positive power of video games, but I am the Finnish God, we need this, we need this, when we get it right we will create a common ground where The community comes together to compete, connect and play regardless of the things that divide us, as an example, Liz Khan has people from 59 countries around the world.

Scary man from China. I'm not going to say that China isn't very scary and that is the positive power of video games to transcend the divisions that surround us in many of our places today we will do better in the future, but our actions will matter more than any of these words, yes , as you walk this weekend, I hope it's clear how committed we are to everyone having the right to express themselves in many ways in all kinds of places. Well, in fact, I have seen and heard many of you speak out this morning. I am very sure that you will take advantage of your vacation and family time to be here in Anaheim with us. and we are very grateful that you are here this week, our best moments are here in our shared passion for Blizzard games, so once again Louis Kahn has brought us together and today you will see many hard-working people who can do it.

Can't blame me for that, oh man, I'm so glad they just went and confronted him, at least said something, believe it or not. They said it. It's up to you to believe it. Personally, I'm very proud of what we were building and I hope. You love it too, thank you. I need to separate this tab, are you ready to start the countdown? Yes, 30 seconds. I don't want the leaks to be real, but every leak that has happened at Blizzard has been real, you know what I mean. They didn't, they didn't stand on their tiptoes, oh man, can they hear?

These are my headphones that are on silent, the audio is cutting out for me, who are they? They have a penny, this is what they wanted last year, they weren't ready for it, okay? he'll help them and get them out because he's helping the weak guy that's how it always happens oh my god he's scary. I just learned about the turbine. He will be the only survivor. This is so good. Oh, these throws are handmade. You impaled him, you just sold yourself, you just sold their souls, it's a shame he didn't make it, oh, well chewed, golden joint, about three weeks instead of four, you have to read this carefully, be nice to him , it's dying dirty, oh my god, this.

It's so creepy what's up with the coin? He says this is forbidden this is an invocation we came here this place your bed oh no don't look up oh dear this should have come out yesterday he will be the only survivor right? or not, it's just going to end with him screaming and he dies too, oh snap, this is hard white sauce, don't do it, they gave you your blood, you came to the darkness for knowledge, he knows. Oh no, and all the knowledge. what you're looking for is here give up don't speak the words call her home don't do it for three they come for three your way open Deus dead by the blood of the willing us oh that's so disgusting oh my god oh god I hate blood I hate it so much sanctuary creator wait a minute god i hate this god oh man all those toenails oh my god that's one of the best intros i've ever seen in a hot minute please ok now director from Diablo game Louise belly, I'm I'm not a great person, but I can respect the art in that, but I'm also not going to tell you to participate in a ritual circle, so please don't do it now.

I have the mobility to be here. I want to thank you all. to come and many thanks to the Blizzard cinematics or for starting things off the right way this weekend. I know you all want to know about the game, so let's do it. Diablo 4 is a dark world and a legacy. Let's start with the darkness. Speech 4 is dark. You just saw the cutscenes, so you know exactly what I'm talking about, whether it's the art, the story, or the horror elements we've adopted. The first thing you'll notice about Diablo 4 is that we return to the franchise's darker roots. ok, that's right, she is Mephisto's daughter, that's how I remember she had a connection with him.

I remember what she was to him because I only read it. I've never played the game much and it will mean blood. Occult symbols and rituals, more importantly, will mean that victories are neither fair nor guaranteed. We hope you're as excited about it as we are haha, it's also very important for Diablo 4 because we've only seen glimpses of the sanctuary in previous Diablo games, but those glimpses have captivated us and captured our imagination with Diablo 4 we want to put the world of sanctuary in the foreground we want every character every monster every faction to have a sense of place drowned undead emerging from the shores brutal goat men coming from the the hills above us delve deeper into the dead beneath a truly dark, gothic version and medieval from hell, how many things could be, but if you want medieval, let's do it, the world is also how you will experience most of our game, it is there where you will find enemy and friendly cities alike, it is also where you will find players to interact with , either to trade with them as a group or if you choose to do so, assassinate each other in PvP zones, okay.

Wow, come on, people are excited. that ultimately legacy, whether it's the sense of dread of Diablo 1 or the classic class alignment and loot chase that still inspires us from Diablo 2 or the better visceral, fluid combat 2 of Diablo 3 that we still enjoy. We approach this series with complete reverence and hope it shows. If you're new to the series, we want you to feel like you did when you first played Diablo. If you're a long-time fan, we think this is the game you've been waiting for. for developers of isometric action RPGs for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox one, then I will get to the change soon, otherwise you are missing out on a lot of money, well, yes, yes, yes, you are, yes, there is no one On that note, we want to give you a first look.

Diablo 4 along with our first three classes, ok, barbarian, mm-hmm, sorceress mage, sorry and the druid, let's do it on behalf of all the members of the Diablo 4 team. It is an absolute pleasure for us to share with you the premiere World of Diablo 4 game trailer. okay and let's give ourselves a game, come on, yes, this is in the game, the dream continues: horns, my old friend, it always begins with a trip to a distant land, I find a burning city, he's a moose man, streets, corpses of children, wow, that's it looks like destruction of a couple that looks good looks great executions suffering surrounded me I wake up terrified there's no one left to face them they look great friend just him Sparta he kicked well thank you could you jump off the horse like that it was great of course buddy you don't need a horse because you're your own horse you're a bear he's actually a big boy oh you said goodbye what do you think I'm a crazy old friend but I know these dreams What do they talk about the future?

We have panels ahead of us in the next few days. where we will delve into the features, the systems, the world, the art of Diablo 4, starting with a presentation panel right after the

World of Warcraft game director. ian has Non-Tec Costas, your alliance is getting tough, wait, wait, heroes of the storm, I love you, from the tavern, a Hearthstone overwatch ready. To fight that day not in Diablo for the brave souls of Sanctuary, it feels really great to be able to keep Diablo's words out loud I'm sure, especially after last year's names when we're working on the game and training. not to reference the real name, so when we can come out and finally say yes, before it feels a bit evil hahaha, we have actually had the duty of development for some time, you know, when we introduce ourselves before you, we want to make sure So when we reveal Diablo to you we can give you a good look at the dark vision of Sanctuary along with a playable experience here at Blizzcon.

How much more time do we have? Do you have time to show it? They run the World Warcraft things you love.

I am very honored and honored to be here with all of you on behalf of World of Warcraft as it turns 15 years old. This is a game that has been at the center of my life for every one of those 15 years, I think 15 years ago. On this day I think I was wandering around looking for stores that were still accepting pre-orders for World of Warcraft so I could jump in there from day one along with everyone else and a little over 11 years ago I had the privilege of joining the development team to get started. to try to give back to this game and this community that has given me so much and here, in this 15th anniversary year, it has been a great year for World of Warcraft.

Just taking a look back, we started with the battle. from the charm of desire and the Alliance and the horde come face to face in a raid zone for the first time, move beneath the waves with our shara update along the way, we have seen the cool Terrans join the Alliance and the Zandalari trolls. reinforce the ranks of the Horde mm-hmm and of course we have Mecca Domes and Volterra waiting in the wings to join them in their next visions of news and updates, so many updates for this game, man, it's crazy and of course , just over two months ago.

We released this little game called World of Warcraft, classic little game, like Jay said. It's been incredible to see millions return to Azeroth as it was before the Cataclysm, whether returning home to an old friend after a long time away or experiencing it for the first time. The first time has been an incredible journey and here I am 15 years into Warcraft. This community remains as strong as ever talking about plastic. I'm excited to announce that we have our next update, the classic, right around the corner, Mom. About a week and a half from November 12th we will enable the world bosses Azura Ghosts and Kazakh, but the most important thing is the honor system pvp tak pvp pvp tax.

I would recommend you do them between now and then, just a hunch. A few weeks ago we launched Dire Maul and today we have Dire Maul players here on the show floor, so grab some friends and check it out or make some new ones. Talk to friends about the strength of the WoW community. I think it is the greatest source of pride. while the development team can work with the community to harness the power of this incredible community in support of some incredible charitable causes this year. I am pleased to announce that we are working with not one but two different charities that both work on behalf of children around the world, the first is the Make A Wish Foundation, an incredible group that tries to grant wishes to critically ill children and, Honestly, we have had the pleasure of working closely with them over the years.

We want to thank you. to an inspiring young woman named Amara who visited us and who we worked with just a couple of months ago. The second organization is we org, which works to provide food, water, shelter, educational opportunities and more to children in need around the world, so next month we will be happy to announce that. and features a pet that is for sale, the adorable Dotty the baby alpaca, why my goodness, as a dad, you are going to understand well, so if you thought the Dalian Dots were your best friends, wait until you meet Dotty, you're really making your way. hearts everywhere at the beginning of December, oh my gosh, proceeds from Dotty sales from then until the end of the year are going to benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation and we organized that's so cute, oh my gosh no, It is not a real alpaca.

Come on, players can't take care of pets, the years aren't over yet, we have this 15th anniversary celebration that's right around the corner and I mean right around the corner, next Tuesday, November 5th we'll be enabling all of them. the 15th anniversary events in the game. First up, it's a Corax Revenge Battleground inspired by the original Alltrack Valley, so get ready to storm that bridge as you make your way to Storm Pike, and then we've got some great experiences inspired by some of the best raid encounters from the early days of WoW. of the people of chaos, King players who complete all three experiences will be able to earn their own Obsidian Worldbreaker mount inspired by definitely nice because a little pet, oh my, and everyone who logs in during the two-month celebration will get their My own little matter Ian's cute mascot for those of you here Independence at Blizzcon in person We have a second fiftieth anniversary celebration in store for you.

Join us tonight at 8:30 outside the Arena Plaza for a toast and celebration with the World of Warcraft Team Hosts 15 Years of Warcraft World of Warcraft 25 Years of Warcraft and the Best It's About come, it's cute, he's looking at his father as if he stopped applauding. It's funny because it's been reflecting on the last 15 years and this. Last year and World of Warcraft, we all know that the most exciting part of Blizzcon each year is hearing and talking about what's coming next, and that begs the question: where would we go from here? What does the future hold?

Rob, come on, you know, as we stand right now, the Horde and the Alliance are on the verge of a tenuous armistice, yes, we are ending the battle for Azeroth that has devastated the world and Sylvanas fled and yes, the forces of Nizam and his old minions of God are coming, but I have seen some pretty reliable data that suggests spoilers that we are going to be victorious in this one, don't tell me he recognized it and so, after you really know what it has been a few difficult . Years have passed between the assault by the Iron Horde and the Burning Legion and everything that has happened since.

I think things might finally be looking up for Azeroth. You're being sarcastic. Stop. I have dealt only with sunny days and clear skies. Ahead I personally can't think of any missing loose ends or anyone who might be lurking in the shadows thirsting for revenge. Can you owe something right away? oh no oh no oh no oh no oh my God Ice Crown she what is she making a monument to? our suffering that's where she went what are you doing where are you server? since on a Frozen Throne oh my god, if she died here she wouldn't die here I mean, it would be ironic, wouldn't it? oh my god, oh my god, I heard this is so tragic dude, oh I can't watch, I have to, oh my god, she's literally her, you have a right to be mad at him, oh my god, I know It's bulbar, I mean, Arthas in general makes me very sad, oh no, we.

However, cutting this throne means everything to her because, oh, this is like no problem, Arrow did something right, guys. I know we killed Arthas at the end. I'm very aware, oh my god, you guys are so annoying, yes, the audio is cutting out. For me she is not like that, yes, she looks where, just leave it at any time, no one can, don't do it. I mean, she's, she's, she's, she's at this point, she's at the point, she doesn't even care, yeah, oh my God, her ears. it's even going to fit duh oh oh that's there Oh Oh three so now the blue eyes make sense so yeah that just happened listen to the blue eyes make sense I'm so upset because there always has to be a Lich King and now for the first time there is none Sylvanas herself warned us that in the end death claims us all well, death comes for us and if we want to have a chance we are going to have to go where no living soul has had one she has a legend one Shadow Lance the world that is the afterlife for the entire Warcraft universe along the way we will have the opportunity to meet some of the fallen and learn their destiny, but this is not a familiar world full of orcs, trolls and dwarves, this is an ancient and mysterious kingdom. which predates the Titans themselves, is the source of the power of the scourge we have seen true and is the power that the Death Knights draw upon, but is also the origin of the noble Valkyr and the healing spirits that guide us back to the land of the living when we take out a couple of extra mobs, yeah, not that anyone has ever done that, but it's where the nature spirits go to begin a cycle of rest and rebirth and much more.

Let's take a look at this wonderful world that we are ready to explore now, the eternal one. Day of screams torn by I am physically upset, damn friend of Sylvanas, it is beautiful, the inhabitants of this kingdom are the key to restoring balancebetween life and death, so it's like Diablo and the Warcraft story, everything, so Manas will have to get it. destroyed by something much bigger, I mean, where else are they going to go? You know, it's coming next year and it'll be available for pre-order today. Wow, there's just a small glimpse of this incredible world that awaits us.

Many fateful decisions lie ahead of us. because, at its core, Shadowlands is an expansion that relies on the idea of ​​agency choice and self-expression in the rewards you pursue and the allies you play a lot with. I know you have a lot of questions like what the heck is it. a pact, what is that tower that protrudes from the sky above the crown of ice? what other changes are coming to World of Warcraft and much more. We have our first panel for you at 2:30 on the World of Warcraft mythical setting, what's next? panel where we will delve into that and much more, also playable here on the show floor, we invite you to travel to the Bastion zone and start exploring Shadowlands.

Thank you all so much and it's going to be an amazing weekend ahead. I can't wait to share it with all of them, and now it's my pleasure to hand it over to Ben Thompson on the Hearthstone team. Uh, I, I know. Hello, thank you so much, fools, sob, how are you, this is so cute on the The cute little Inn Holy Cow level that Diablo ad and we have a hearthstone that needs to tell me something. I'm very excited about what we're showing you here today. I don't know about you, but I can't wait to play some games, can you?

Look at the whole way they sit, humans crawling from the very bowels of hell or the heavens above us breaking into pieces, it is clear that she destroys different terrains, sometimes we feel, however, that we should not have to leave the safety of the bar. For a good story, we believe some of the best stories are told right here at home. Take, for example, the story we have been telling you this year, in the year of the Dragon, for the first time. Introducing a story that's taking all three teams to tell, it's so big and so amazing, we've had so much fun putting it together we can't wait to show you how it all comes to an end.

Well, let's talk a little about how the rise of the shadows all started. You were introduced to the formation of a league of evil, his plan to steal dollars and how you helped him do it, this was followed by the saviors from all doom when you and the league The threat of the League of Explorers responded to the call to the adventure and crossed the desert sands seeking to end the plagues that Reef Aam and his followers had unleashed upon the world and that brings us to our third and final chapter, doesn't it? The curtain rises on a brilliant twilight sky over a blanket of snow.

An icy wind blows. Through an ancient field of bones now the League of Evil and the League of Good Explorers have chased each other across Azeroth to get here in the dragonlight. I haven't kept up with Hearthstone in a long time, friend, as they always say. A lot of work on the promotional material for this and it's great, cute Yura the dragon will finally earn his name with more dragons in a single Hearthstone expansion than ever before, days when you'll recognize quite a few of these from the story from Azeroth, but we've also included a couple of our own designs so you can enjoy the sense of dragons.

It also introduces a handful of new mechanics and an all-powerful new keyword. If you want to dive in and take a look, let's do it. Now it wouldn't be right to make a series based on dragons without at least acknowledging the most terrible, most feared and fearsome dragon that has ever walked the world of Azeroth. The newest hero card, that is, takes the place of your own hero when you put it into play. He also brings with him a powerful new battle cry and his own unique hero power, but here's the key. It becomes stronger and more powerful when you use it. of our new summon keyword, it's important to note here that summon has its effects on galakrond whether it's in your hand or your deck and doing so will allow him to make his second form a bit stronger, believe it or not. or not.

They are actually those who eagerly await the return of Galakrond, those who praise his name throughout Azeroth and as a result, the summon keyword will occasionally appear on some neutral cards and by doing so you will be able to achieve a man who is annoying, oh my mine, Ronde Azeroth and Jeff. for the cards, oh my gosh, I don't know if this really signals the end of all of Azeroth, frankly from what we just saw, I'm pretty sure that's your job now, Chuck, but it sure signals the end of any game . of Hearthstone it is in, if you can properly perform the summoning mechanic, yes that will be annoying, five classes aligned with the League of Evil will have access to the terrible power of galakrond and will be able to harness it for themselves in the form of a single hero who brings a unique battle cry and a one-of-a-kind power cure, and never farms, cares for his friends, rest assured that everyone will receive a copy of the five galakrond legendary hero cards for free only for logging in when the set is released Wow, but you may ask what's up with Justin Noble what's up with those of pure heart or more on the side of good where's my League of Explorers?

In this well are many of our Winget friends eager to join the fight for good. Well everyone knows you Sarah, let's say hello to the legendary dragon druid that USERRA unleashed, she's my favorite too. Hmm and finally, what would a dragon be without her fearsome breath weapon? If you are a shaman, you will have access to the breath of lightning. Here, yes, we see all our girl time, we just think it's time to open up the party a little. You see, with every set, every class in Hearthstone will receive a legendary dragon, each named courtesy of its presence being made known in the meta. as soon as we release this newest and final chapter of the trilogy on December 10th, but for those of you looking to die, you didn't get to see that girl, but that girl is like hello, crazy, now normally that would be it for Hearthstone .

I've given you an awesome new set, an awesome new cinematic, and a song I know I'll be humming for the rest of the weekend. The girl was sitting there like the diva of her Merlok, and it's a little special before we know it. the cameras focus on her as Hearthstone players, we all continue to enjoy a variety of ways to play this game we know and love, whether in arena mode or tavern brawl mode, we enjoy thinking about the cards we build, create and we play and the decks we put them in in different ways, that's why the Hearthstone team is excited to announce today that it's a dragon in a suit, a new way to play this game, is it on the switch but I don't like it call our battlefields of stone?

Okay, it's my rock in the switch. my refrigerator on your Amazon that is inspired echoes any Alexa that is inspired by the popular genre or auto battle with some Hearthstone twists in this mode, you and seven other players are challenged to recruit minions and send them into battle against your opponents, it's very sad. Or do you think of Arthas? This is the first new mode to come to the game in some time. We've had a lot of fun doing it and we've had even more fun playing it, in fact, we're excited. to dedicate the entire Hearthstone demo area here at Blizzcon.

I would love to go back to this game and it's so expensive it's great. The open beta for this new mode will begin on November 12, but for those of you who are here today. Watch at home with the virtual ticket or pre-purchase Descent of Dragons. Well, you can enjoy all this starting Tuesday. We couldn't be more excited. It's a free game, but we still have to buy packs related to Hearthstone dragons and battlegrounds. On the Missin Mytic stage at 3:30 we hope to see you all there. I played Hartzler a lot when the first two expansions were coming out because the hard songs have only been around for five years, six years and it was nice.

It's very much like you could play for you to play, but then they started advertising things that you buy and you're a serious disadvantage. The world outside the tavern is a place to lay down our swords, join our friends, and gather around the fire with the return of the hearthstone. tavern here at Blizzcon we hope you do just this, we absolutely invite you to come and tell us what you think of the new mode and we love answering questions about the newest set, but most of all we hope you stop by if only to participate. the warmth and friendliness that the tavern has to offer.

I know I'll be there. I hope to see each and every one of you like a cool setup oh my gosh girl girl calm down I don't know about you but I really need to see what Overwatch has to offer let's take a look. This is an hour and a half, two hours, remember, babies, king, the greatest champions of peace and progress that humanity has ever seen. My babies, she knows that Overwatch shut down half of our jazz mercenaries now dad told me that after so many years of service you gave everything to supervision and then they kicked you out real life is not like the stories our father told us you are a fool to believe in movies maybe I'm a fool to think about that There is still hope for you brother, the second Amna crisis continues, the conflict between all the Knicks and the humans has already claimed more than 15 strongholds.

They killed me friend, I have to do something, always remember, never accept the world as it seems, dare to see it as it is. It could be that I'm so excited that they love me but they really need you. I've been waiting for this. The world is changing once again and it's time to choose a side. We can make a difference again. We need more Zarya shorts please. something. well Jeff Jeff overwatch I can't believe I liked shaking his hand uh dad Jeff chat it's dad Jeff Mic Check thanks uh Blizzcon is so nervous this year.

I dressed in black, it's like dad is nervous because he has a giant choice. I didn't get there, so I feel like you and I and you know who I'm talking to. I feel like you and I have been together for a long time, like we remember when Wow Classic used to be called Wow, It's Been Well, We've Been Together. I have something I'm really embarrassed to tell you right now and I'm only telling you because we have a close relationship, oh God, I totally forgot what I'm supposed to say right now. I have no idea, I just went blank.

Anyone who knows me knows that I can ramble on forever about any topic, but luckily I like to do it from the Internet. I can read everything I'm supposed to say. Thank you so much. That was so. Cool, if you want to know how game developers feel about leaks, oh, I made a movie called Shadow Lands and I imagine my face where Silvana says it was and then instead of that helmet, it was my cell phone and yeah Oh, I should probably talk about Overwatch. so angry, oh, they worked so hard on this guy, a very dear friend of mine five years ago on this stage, almost to this day, a gentleman named Chris Metzen and they allowed him to hear it, he's watching with us right now, Chris came out five. years ago on this stage and said it was time for a new adventure and he wanted to take us all with him and he came out and announced as I watched that it was one of the most special moments of my life, a lot has changed since that day and The Women and the Men who work on Overwatch have been working very hard to make something very special and today they would like to dedicate it to you, so please enjoy it.

I just want more story, even if we already know what's coming. Morrison, this is a ship. in your mind as long as we're together we'll be fine if you're going to show up now would be a good time no sex no invasion it's a new mode it's the new PvE - all sectors attack no I don't Right now we know all they have is that the PBE will be on the map of Paris. Oh sure officer, we're here to help. They're all like Frick, a fucking monkey to kill and he's like, "I'm not a monkey." scientist, it's a scientist oh no, hey, tell me what, oh my god, they're actually doing something with them, it's not the Vil skaia, but still, what the fuck to have in the face that the ship just got cut in half?

She needs help, we can. Don't stay here Mercy is here Angela is here tracker get everyone out of here I swear if they killed any of them you better be I don't like this I don't like this so put up your shield buddy you better get in furious mode dude, I get you, you deflect that, yeah, oh my god, it's the reunion cinematic, you know the skin is cool, the hoodie and Brega, oh my god, this is so cute, it's an echo, fuck you all. I knew it, she's older, where are Anna and the soldier, though clever?

Oh my god, I can't wait, play with the echo, buddy, you better remember, I love it, the victory is ours, my friends, hello, Lena brigade, oh my god, you've grown up, let's get a bow. I used to know you, oh my god, sir. Does this mean Overwatch is back? Yes Oh,that was so good, did you like it, did you enjoy it, it's like you already know, but still, on behalf of the Overwatch team, I'm extremely proud and excited to finally and officially announce Overwatch now. I know you have a lot of questions, but we always feel that our games speak for themselves, so let's take a look at the gameplay and then we'll talk, wait, oh my god, oh I know we already saw the image, but are you still doing here ?

Paris was just the beginning. They're working together, she's got a bun, they're using Gibraltar again. Highly replayable co-op. I said they have a cheap grip, but I don't wear Aria shorts. Level up your heroes, come on. Wow, customize your skill so you don't have to. be on the payload, oh my god, stay here, yeah, it's like that's not a Lucio Skin stay, oh my god, she's got rust as a prosthetic, this looks amazing, uh-oh, we're going to have fun a lot, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we have There's a lot to talk about, first and foremost, you have to remember that Overwatch is a 6 on 6 team vs. team competitive experience and there's no way we're going to lose that, in fact , that's a big focus, so Overwatch: we'll have a new core competitive game mode called push.

Now what I mean when I say core is that you will play this in quick play, it will be played and competitive and it will also be played by the Overwatch League, so we are very excited to finally add it. a new main game mode now we want everyone here today to have a chance to play it and tell us how amazing and balanced it is so you can play on a brand new map that takes place in Toronto our first Canadian map let's go there. Wow awesome now, when I talk to a lot of you, there's a common request that you want out of Overwatch and Overwatch: It's going to deliver on this and that's for more story and for PvE for co-op experiences.

I am very happy that Overwatch 2 will feature tons of PvE content, we will have a full story experience with story missions, the first of which is called Rio de Janeiro, it is also playable in Hall A for all of you today, I can't wait to hear what you guys think about it, oh my gosh. Very happy friend, as you saw, we have something called hero missions, whose hero missions focus on a highly replayable cooperative experience. The analogy we like to use on the team is similar to what Diablo's adventure mode is versus his campaign, that's what the hero missions are intended to do. be and they're driven by this really cool progression where you can level up your hero, get more powerful, customize your skills, do different talents, dude, the AoE or break, oh my gosh, like all the heroes around were getting a new look, each of the 31 Heroes and more are getting an upgraded look and there's a really awesome panel taking place tomorrow Saturday here that will go over all the engine updates that are available. coming to Overwatch, and all the new skins and explanations of the new art style, it really looks cool, Reinhardt's hair, oh my god look, they have to do with heroes, his beard, we know we can't make a new overwatch game without having new heroes , so overwatch: besides introducing sojourn who we're not talking about today, besides just confirming that she's here, damn, overwatch 2 will feature multiple new heroes coming with the game and we're very excited for EKKO to be seen Really cool, dude.

Now many of you have questions like why a sequel or what does that mean to me as a player of the original game. I spent so much time on this game. It mattered to me so much that we thought about it and for us as players. We know that sequels make us nervous more than anything else, so what we hope to do with Overwatch 2 is really redefine what a sequel means and I think some explanation is necessary at this point, for all the original Overwatch players, players of the current Overwatch game. You will be able to play on the same maps as Overwatch 2 players, including all new maps coming to Overwatch, and you will be able to play with the same heroes as Overwatch players for two, it will be shared. multiplayer environment where no one is left behind that guy was like looking into the camera another thing I think a lot of us are thinking about is all those cool achievements and cosmetics we've been unlocking over the years, do you know how hard what was it for you? work for your mercy skin, for example, we want to make sure that all of the Overwatch cosmetics come with you in Overwatch as well so that all your progress, man.

Wow, nothing will be left behind, no one will get it as long as you are on the same platform or to build this community of over 50 million players right now, the last thing we would do is do anything to divide what an amazing community you are and how much you they mean to us, so Overwatch will be amazing too, we have a panel. Right here on this stage at 1:30 where we're going to go into a lot more detail, now it's time for Blizzcon. I'm looking, you know, right down the hall, at those beautiful machines with Diablo 4 loaded, we have the world. from Warcraft Shadowlands we have Battlegrounds from Hearthstone we have two different overwatch two demos I just want everyone to remember how much we mean to each other be good to each other let's enjoy ourselves this weekend now let's play some video games Have fun everyone man I'm so excited I like the PBE and the story and everything I want to see how the new push mode works.

Ceremonies. Mythical stages. Panel presentations will resume shortly with the reveal of Diablo 4. Have a great Blizzcon, man, no man, friend. That's exactly me. I was expecting it to be an hour and a half, right about an hour and a half, uh, I'm really, I'm really excited about Overwatch, it's like MIT, saw that blizzard song, the missiles were coming back to Overwatch, I thought it was time , guys. let's turn it up to eleven dude, it's perfect now because you know Overwatch is on the Switch literally right before this and it's a solid port as I would prefer.

I'd prefer the Switch version to PS4 and Xboxone, but obviously I'd prefer PC to the Switch version, you know what I'm saying, but the fact that you'll be able to keep everything while staying on that platform is amazing. Diablo 4 is confirmed and looks absolutely fantastic and terrifying. and gross and slightly gross, it just stops at Jeff's face like that, seriously, I feel like I don't know, I feel like Jeff hit the nail on the head when they were talking, when he was talking about, you know, uh, what she would do. Call it damn classy mistakes like leaking things like he's basically saying what everyone wants him to say.

I'm happy, but you know, that's really cool, that's really exciting, it's actually so exciting, his happy face on his, I mean, I'm just happy. that someone, someone, got a little bit of everything, you know, everyone got a little bit of something. Diablo fans, Hearthstone fans, they got new stuff, obviously, uh, Warcraft has its stuff there for everyone. World of Warcraft just got a big new story update. Holy shit, what the hell did she literally open that in her house? Whoever's seen two looks great, so obviously we didn't see the return of a lot of the characters, like we didn't see, I mean, we saw a widow in the trailer, but like, as far as the story and stuff, you know, I guess that she will continue in the schoolgirl line still with Doom Fist and Moira and Reaper and things like that, so as far as the story, you know they didn't show too much and I will.

Be curious to see how they handle all that stuff we didn't see witch soldier, so for those of you who don't necessarily know, Overwatch all the cinematic shorts were basically like Overwatch getting back together, but they're still in their current state. that makes sense so you're playing the game on the previous iterations of the characters like Mercy and Winston and stuff like that and Tracer they're all like their previous iteration and these will be like the new ones once they're all together that's really cool, that's really cool. I'm really excited, so the Overwatch movie is going to be amazing, but they'll probably never make it.

It was so good, it was so good, um, I don't know. I'll be curious to see how they handle it if the soldiers return. Kri Kri comes back because she's gone, you know, I don't know, and characters like Ash and stuff like that will be interesting, we'll see how they handle everything. like Deva isn't there either, but you know, divas obviously like movement and everything they could do to make movies, but they won't do it because I think they want the replayability of games, that's what they do. I think they legitimately have the best cinematics of any game developer, so I think they could literally blow it out of the water, but they don't, if they don't want to, they don't want you, I think because they went hybrid with the Warcraft movie.

I think if the Warcraft movie was fully animated it would have been really good, but because you were relying on actors and stuff like that, you knew it could fail very, very easily, you missed Overwatch, you have to go back and watch it. if you've missed it exactly sin, yeah, exactly, I don't know, it's very, very, very exciting and the fact that people will be able to keep up with it forever watching it, it's very, very cool, yeah, I don't know. I'm going out, although I have a lot to digest. We'll be back in a while.

I need to grab some food and eat because I fell asleep. Yes, that's very exciting. I don't know. Talk about it later regarding your thoughts. As always, feel free to tell me what you think and we'll be here to talk about it, but I'm going out for a bit. Gotta let this all process, well we'll talk about it later, let me know what you think, thanks for hanging out guys, we'll be back a little later tonight, you're amazing, you're beautiful, stay wild, I'll talk to you . guys then bye go eat
