Blizzard Watch Podcast

Join us as we look into the improvements to the Plunderstorm event that has returned to the WoW servers for a limited time, the delay of the Cataclysm Classic Phase Four rollout, and the preview of Diablo 4’s upcoming Season of Witchcraft theme. We also speculate if the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour means no BlizzCon this year (or ever!), dive into the details of the StarCraft-themed mini-set for Hearthstone, and vent our frustrations about battle passes and other monetization tactics of big gaming studios.

Join Joe, Liz, and special guest Phil Ulrich as we discuss the return of Turbulent Timeways to World of Warcraft, featuring seven weeks of Timewalking and a new Timely Buzzbee mount reward. (We need it.) Plus WoW's patch 11.1 hitting the PTR, the fate of the Kirin Tor, Overwatch 2's 6v6 format test (and whether it's coming back for good), and Awesome Games Done Quick which is streaming game speedruns all week. (We recommend tuning in to watch Dr. Doot play Elden Ring on a saxophone on Saturday.)

Join us as we look back at the high lows of 2024 of Blizzard and its many titles. We cover everything from the games to the business moves as well as what to look forward to in 2025.

Join us as we discuss the controversial upcoming rework of Marksmanship Hunters that removes pets, the Goblin/casino/mecha T-Rex themed preview of WoW patch 11.1 coming early next year, the new updates to this year’s Winter Veil event, and the discovery of garden gnome cosmetics for when you need to be deadly, yet whimsical.

Join us as we discuss the new content that has arrived in WoW with the roll out of patch 11.0.7 Siren Isle, the treasure goblin kill fest Diablo 4 holiday event, Hearthstone’s current meta mess, and the new Heroes of the Storm custom game mode that gives us hope that the title may still be revived. What? A girl can dream.

Join us as we discuss the unimpressive upgradable ring, Circe’s Circlet, arriving with Siren Isle, Diablo Immortal finally getting….Diablo, and how yet another mobile-first Blizzard game has found its way onto PCs.

Join us as we discuss the dual spec, LFG, and gold accessibility features rolled out early on the WoW Classic Anniversary realms, the new heroes introduced with Hearthstone Battlegrounds Season 9, the upcoming PC beta of Blizzard’s Warcraft Rumble mobile game, the overwhelming number of promotions happening with WoW right now, and the launch of the much-anticipated Overwatch-clone, Marvel Rivals. Because who doesn’t want to play Hulk fast balling Wolverine into the fray?

Join us as we discuss the rollout plans for the WoW Classic anniversary realms, Diablo 4’s upcoming armory changes that allow hot swapping between builds, our hopes and dreams for a Heroes of the Storm revival, the upcoming early access for Diablo-competitor Path of Exile 2, and the WoW secret finding community’s obsession with The Golden Muffin. Yes, you read that right.
