Second Warcraft Movie Rumor Mentioned by Chris Metzen There have been some rumors going around recently about a potential second Warcraft movie that may be in development. These were somewhat vague and just mentioned that the production company for the first movie, Legendary Entertainment, were "already discussing" the next Warcraft movie behind the scenes and that it would wipe the slate clean and start the franchise over. The next rumor had a little more weight to it, coming from a relatively reliable "scooper", Daniel Ritchman via Movie Web, and claimed that the second movie is actually already in development. All related articles mention the poor critical and audience receptions of the first movie, as well as it's success in China and high box office returns from overseas.

Blizzard Hiring for the Diablo Franchise It's been quite a while since we heard anything from Diablo 4, as we wait for the third quarterly update which should be arriving by the end of the month. However, there has been some movement on the staff front, in addition to the recent recruitment post for a monetization expert. We have two new job postings to take a look at today, with Global Digital Marketing Manager and a Senior PR Manager positions being available. Diablo Diablo Today at 02:48 by Starym

Patch 8.3.7 Hotfixes: September 22nd Even this late in the expansion, we still get to hear from some hotfixes! Today it's Brewfest that gets an improvement, as a flashing spell effect has been removed. World of Warcraft WoW Today at 01:17 by Starym

PTR Release Candidate Bulild + Season End Warning Discussion The PTR is updating with a new build which has been marked as a release candidate, which usually indicates the patch is close, but we really knew that already considering the expansion is a little under 5 weeks away. While this at least means there could be a release soon, release candidates have been known to get a variable number of iterations, so we didn't really narrow the timeframe down by much, if at all.

Heart of Darkness Azerite Trait Will Be Useless in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch With the removal of the Corruption System in Shadowlands, the Heart of Darkness Azerite trait will be useless. World of Warcraft WoW 1 comment Yesterday at 18:15 by Stan

The Final 1-handed Sword Stream: DesMephisto Heading to 100% Since we last checked in with DesMephisto he's managed to get all but one of the currently available 1-handed sword in game, and we get to watch him get the final one live on stream! The only possibly-kinda exception to all this is the sword from the Headless Horseman, which won't be available until October 18th, but as that will be after the pre-patch hits (or won't considering how slow the patch is to arrive), all the new Shadowlands swords will be put into the database, bringing the total down from 100%. So while it's technically probably maybe not exactly 100%, we can forgive this one! World of Warcraft WoW Yesterday at 18:13 by Starym

New and Improved Amazing Cosmology Chart! The Warcraft universe Cosmology chart is one of the of the most important pieces of art we have, as it showcases the basic and primal forces of everything, so it's no surprise it's gotten quite a few makeovers recently. AJT_GameArt is back once again, improving his previous rendition once again, with some better images and characters associated with the various cosmic forces, including new Shadowlands figures! World of Warcraft WoW Yesterday at 16:20 by Starym

Engineering Battle Resurrection is Staying in Shadowlands Raid buff scrolls won't be returning and Blizzard also nerfed class buffs down to 5% in Shadowlands, so the removal of the Engineering battle rez was something entirely possible to give classes with combat-resurrection capabilities more prominence in raids.

Blizzard Confirms Max Corruption Resistance Numbers With Schrodinger's pre-patch looming above Battle for Azeroth, players have been wondering if there would be an extension to the Corruption resistance granted by the legendary cloak, and Blizzard have confirmed that last week's 125 cap is indeed the final number for BfA. Whether the fact that the maximum Corruption cap was reached last week indicates anything about the pre-patch timing is also up for debate, but Blizzard is keeping the release date as if it was the biggest secret ever in the World of Warcraft.

WoW Characters in Real Life Converted by AI Of all the things Artificial Intelligence could do for humanity... this application of it might be the best! The PULSE AI technology developed by Duke University is being used to convert images of WoW characters into real-life humans and the results are... interesting. Miroslav Yegorov used the AI to see what WoW characters might look like as real people, using several different images to base it off of and getting different results for the same characters. Of note, Sylvanas might not look quite right as the tech included her hood as her hair, and Arthas is... a "little" off as well, but generally, those are very human faces and they might have you looking at the characters in a different light. And laughing. A lot. World of Warcraft WoW 11 comments Sep 21, 2020 at 19:30 by Starym

Updated Skyboxes in Old Zones with Brewfest Toy The skyboxes in older zones have really been looking pretty bad for a long time now, especially with new ones getting so good (hello new Icecrown).

Dalaran Recreated in Minecraft It's time for another WoW in other games edition, as redditor LapisBroSammy has gone through a lot of trouble to remake Dalaran in Minecraft! We've already seen similar projects, like the Atal'Dazar, Orgrimmar and Stormwind, Arathi Basin, and even Lich King projects, so this one fits in very nicely! It a project a few years in the making and is looking damn impressive, especially since It was made in Survival mode, but with mob griefing turned off. Let's take a look at some highlights, and you can check out the full imgur album here as well. World of Warcraft WoW 1 comment Sep 20, 2020 at 06:13 by Starym

Maldraxxus' Weather Effects Are Soulstorms We already know that regardless of other factors in an expansion, WoW's art team will always create top-notch quality environments and effects, but with Shadowlands it seems they're really outdoing themselves. Whether it's the rich canopy of the weird and otherworldly realm that's inspiring them, some of the places we'll be going in the new expansion are really quite something. Today redditor felplague noticed just how awesome some of these designs are, spotting a weather effect in Maldraxxus that wasn't quite rain or snow...

Will the Shadowlands Pre-patch Release on October 6th / 7th? Update: Blizzard have released the official preview for everything that's coming in the pre-patch and said the end of Battle for Azeroth Season 4 is coming "soon". You can check out the full post here.

The WoW community spent the second half of this week in anticipation of Blizzard's pre-patch release date announcement, only to come away disappointed. There has been plenty of speculation on the date, going from September 15th all the way to the current most likely date of October 6th (for the US). Also, a brand new clue/tinfoil hat conspiracy has come up recently as well, as some mobs are channeling once again! World of Warcraft WoW 16 comments Sep 19, 2020 at 17:02 by Starym
