With 2023 coming to an end, it’s time to take a glimpse back at everything the year had to offer. And that is exactly what developer Blizzard Entertainment did in the latest blog post shared on the official site.
Additionally, the team shared their tentative plans about 2024. While World of Warcraft got an entire separate blog post, other Blizzard titles such as Diablo 4, Overwatch 2 and Hearthstone got a mention as well. WoW Retail is in for a new expansion in 2024, Hearthstone plans on introducing Duos to Battlegrounds. Warcraft Rumble will have new seasons that will add new minis and Raids.
Diablo IV will receive new seasons, and its first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, will also be released in 2024. Players will be able to continue exploring the story of Mephisto and Neyrelle. Overwatch 2 will have three new heroes next year (Venture, a hero codenamed Space Ranger, and a yet-to-be-revealed tank), the new Clash mode, a rework of Competitive mode, and much more.
