Will Blizzard Launch a New Title at BlizzConline?

Recommended Posts

BlizzConline 2021 is just around the corner, and IGN Nordic discovered a Blizzard employees' profile on LinkedIn that mentions an unknown title with the codename "Fenway."

What Fenway refers to remains unknown at this time. Fenway was first mentioned in a Game Producer's bio on LinkedIn (see below). Image courtesy of IGN Nordic.

Do you think Blizzard will announce a completely new title, or is Fenway codename for the long-rumored Diablo 2 remaster or TBC Classic? The dev's profile mostly mentions Classic titles, so I wouldn't be surprised if "Fenway" was TBC Classic to be honest.

Nope. They have 3 unreleased title already. The 2 Diablo and the Overwatch 2... plus a beta WoW: Shadowlands.

If it's grouped with other games previously managed by their former classic team, now likely filled by their acquisition of Vicarious Games, then it's possibly a remaster of D2. However, they already have to show OW2, D4 and Immortal, also another patch for WoW, so even if it's currently in the works, we might not see it yet.

No, and I don't think anything like this is worthy of hyping. Blizzconline will likely revolve around the 30th anniversary thing with no new announcements, only a few regular eye-candy trailers.

No, I don't think they will release a new title anytime soon.  If anything just new updates with select plans for future patch updates on select titles.  Possible more insight on Diablo IV and where it stands now before an estimate time of release.

If it's new, I don't expect it to be large. Maybe a stand alone game pulling Lost Vikings or another IP for a small release of a new game.

      Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Overwatch 2 might soon make a comeback in China, thanks to Blizzard reportedly teaming up again with NetEase.
      The news comes from Core Esports, which suggests Blizzard's game services could be back by the end of March or the beginning of April.
      After 14 years of partnership, Blizzard and NetEase hit a rough patch in 2022, leading to failed negotiations. Consequently, when the licensing agreement concluded on January 23, 2023, Blizzard's game services were suspended across mainland China.
      For more details, you can check out the article in Chinese or find an English translation by Amy Chen on esports.gg.

      According to WSJ, Bobby Kotick, former CEO of Activision Blizzard, has floated the idea of buying TikTok to potential partners.
      Former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick has reportedly shown interest in purchasing TikTok, as legislation in the U.S. threatens to ban or force the sale of the popular app over national security concerns.
      Kotick is said to be seeking partners for the potential acquisition, discussing the opportunity with notable figures including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The move comes amid growing scrutiny over TikTok's data privacy practices and its ties to China, with U.S. lawmakers pushing for decisive action.
      You can read the whole news piece over at WSJ.
      Bobby Kotick left his position at Activision Blizzard in December 2023 after Microsoft finalized its purchase of the company. Post-acquisition, he reportedly received over $375 million, as detailed by Forbes.
