Blizzard ran down some of the content we'll be seeing and roughly when, which was a hot topic for the cohosts this week. Everything seems to be coming out October 2, from the&nbsp;<em>Midnight</em>&nbsp;alpha to Naxxramas in the&nbsp;<em>WoW Classic</em>&nbsp;Anniversary realms to the next season of&nbsp;<em>Critical Role</em>.&nbsp;<em>Diablo 4</em>&nbsp;gave us a reprieve by being live already, with a few weirdly cute little guys to get from the seasonal journey and battle pass -- with an obligatory round of booing for microtransactions.</p>","author_name":"Blizzard Watch"}
