In the meantime, Blizzard announced they're working on a new survival game for PC and console and a new Lunar Year Tiger mount was released in World of Warcraft. With no 9.2 release date announced just yet, we can expect WoW and Overwatch-related announcements soon, according to another tweet from January 25.

Yeah, they just keep teasing us that announcements are coming soon. Spent all week waiting for some announcement they promised last week. Getting a little tired of their bait and switch.

though, to be fair, I think they're trying to take it slow since people now have a damaged trust

Well... tomorrow is the 31st, can't get much more "last week" than that. So announcements tomorrow?

"Soon^tm", while a long running joke about Blizzard when they say "Soon", it may as well be one of their actual trademarks. lol

They announced the new game this week. That was the announcement they teased originally.

I think "damaged" is a pretty big understatement

Their new survival game was their big announcement, even though it's kinda weird. They had never announced their games through job listings before. Sure, there were "unannounced project" offers before that, but back then it was just a posting on their site, it was never accompanied by a blue post saying what it's going to be. When any official announcement happened, it wasn't until they had something to show, a title, some trailer and info on their site as well.

And? It's probably 10 years until that game is done. No reason to overhype it with no content currently available to show. They teased, that's enough.

Hurry up and wait! No thanks.

Spoiler alert: It will be bad and it will cost more money than it should if it was good.
