Activision Blizzard Q4 2018 Earnings Call & Layoffs The company is reducing the number of non-development positions by 8% and increasing devs across key franchises by 20%.

Season 17 Pushed Back to May + All Season Durations

It seems Season of Grandeur has been very popular and Blizzard is extending it to May 12th! This shouldn't come as a surprise as this season has been the most game changing one so far, with the biggest impact on gameplay through greater build diversity. The other reason Season 17 has been postponed is because Blizzard have "plans" for it and it'll take a while longer to test, both internally and on the PTR later on: Yesterday at 21:57 by Starym 11 comments

In the latest episode of our podcast, we discuss potential Patch 8.1.5 release date, new Allied Races, recent layoffs at Activision Blizzard, and future game titles. Feb 20, 2019 at 20:56 by Stan

Season of Grandeur Patch Notes and Preview

The 16th season arrives next month on January 18th and continues the themed season trend, with the big buff this time bringing some grandeur, Ring of Royal Grandeur, in fact. Everyone gets the effect of the legendary without wearing it or having it in your cube, which will make set matching a lot simpler. We're also getting new cosmetics, including some weird butterfly wings (not the Magda kind, thankfully), new conquests, new Haedrig's Gift sets and a brand new UI feature highlighting when Primal Legendaries drop, giving them a red beam and a huge and unique map icon! We're also getting potions removed from the inventory, 5 new armory tabs and GR Keystones stored in the materials tab.

But, most importantly of all, there's set changes/huge buffs for Legacy of Nightmares (Litany of the Undaunted + The Wailing Host), all Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk and Witch Doctor sets, most Crusader and Wizard sets, and one Necromancer set. Dec 18, 2018 at 19:32 by Starym 30 comments

Update on Planned D4 Announcement at BlizzCon

It seems the Kotaku leak wasn't that solid, at least when it comes to the timing. Jason Schreier gave an update on the matter, saying Blizzard have disputed the claims of his sources that the announcement was supposed to happen at BlizzCon. However, he still stands by the fact the video was made, which suggests he's actually seen it, and he's apologized for the misinformation (and deleted his original tweet about the fact - but you can still see it in our article).

Updated - Diablo 4 Supposed to Be Announced At BlizzCon
