Maybe I’m giving it too much hype and it’ll end up being Warcraft III Reforged: More Forge.
Maybe we’ll get a neato Alleria or Xal’atath collective.
But tomorrow (today), we’re getting a little presentation from Blizzard that the Internet thinks will go down like this:
- 30 years of Warcraft strategy classics: Hear from the team working on the games that started it all as they share exciting news for Warcraft III Reforged and more.
- 20 years of World of Warcraft: Relive the evolution of the world’s most beloved MMORPG and find out what the future holds for both WoW Classic and modern WoW… with a special announcement at the end.
- 10 years of Hearthstone: Celebrate a decade of strategic fun with cards and get a sneak peek at the upcoming game-changing updates.
- 1 year of Warcraft Rumble: Join us for our 1st anniversary and share our excitement for the additions to come.

So! While we brew the coffee and fire up our respective workdays, what do we think the “special announcement” will be?

Warcraft : Refunded gets a make-over and the actual game we were promised comes out, with WoW graphics and updated mechanics for the modern era.
Starcraft gets some love and Blizzard talks about the games they want to make in that universe. I would sacrifice so many people on the altar to get my hands on a Survival/Building Sim set in the Starcraft Universe where you have to use stuff like STV frames and salvage from a war to build a settlement for you, your friends and the NPCs you can find, recover or bargain to join you, while dealing with raiders, pirates, ‘rogue’ Zerg and the ‘Sith’ Protoss we got introduce to in the Protoss expansion.
World of Warcraft has the team sitting down and explaining how they’re going to revamp the world to modern graphical standards, a zone at a time, so as to not put too much pressure and stress on the teams involved. Also teasers for what’s happening with previous threats like Iridikron, Magotha and the shattered remnants of the Legion.
What I think we’ll actually get…
Carefully curated speeches about the future of WoW without giving anything concrete, fan favourite content getting hyped to try and keep people playing, more carefully curated content about the anniversary event that will reveal some more Secrets for us to find, talking about the Overwatch franchise to try and breathe some life into it, and they’ll wheel out Metzen and make him wave to us and use that lovely voice of his to distract us some more.

I personally want Chris Metzan to show me the opportunity cost of all of my time spend playing Warcraft and Starcraft, and then whispering into my ear that it was completely worth it.

A new playable elf race.
They took all the elves and trolls because zandalari are just a type of elf and Draenei because Draenei are just a type of space elf and smooshed them together into a new type of super elf.
They will be called Zan’Draeorei

It ended up being player housing for next expansion.

We actually under-hyped the announcement. Feels good to be surprised.

Eh, I believe player housing when I see it in game.
I saw the teaser and was thinking to myself Blizzard is planning a Sims-like spin-off or something.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t realize they were advertising housing. Until I read the Discord comments, I thought Varian was alive all this time, living out in the woods or something. And we were going to re-discover him.

That close up did kinda look like Varian, and it was a warrior…
Coming in Midnight: Become roommates with your favorite lore character! This is what you want, right?

My guild is all going to move in with the guildie who hates it the most. We’ve already warned her. Can’t wait. We’ll see who RP slobs, who can’t cook, who has too many pets, etc.

Sounds like you’re aiming to turn your guild into a reality tv show.
