Since Blizzard was acquired by Microsoft, it seems that a gust of wind has risen and dispersed. While this kind of company-level acquisition won't be reflected at the game level in a short period of time, who wouldn't want to see a new, or reborn, Blizzard? Seeing that the new version of Hearthstone is about to be launched, and even Warcraft is planning to shoot the game version, I don't know if players can see something new?
First, a new version of Hearthstone is coming soon
A new version of Hearthstone, oh no, should be said to be New Year's, is expected to go live in April. Don't say that the player can't wait, in fact, even Blizzard himself can't wait. So on the previous official push, Blizzard has announced the new version of the clue in advance, releasing four bat race retinues.
Although Gu Ying personally felt that using bats as the year number of the New Year was a grade worse than the past Year of the Dragon, the Year of the Mammoth, the Year of the Phoenix, etc., no one knew how Blizzard thought about itself. And there is a saying that gives bats as a hint, and does not mean that the new year is a bat, but as a lead-in, leading to the concept of snakes and pythons, which is more in line with the trailer of Blizzard's trailer.
To tell the truth, Gu Ying personally did not have a good feeling about Blizzard's warm-up operation. After all, this is the case every year, somewhat disgusted, presumably many players have similar feelings. Fortunately, Blizzard then gave a specific time.
In the early morning of March 16, a new year number and a new version will be announced. With less than a week to go, isn't it too much to say it's coming soon?
Second, world of warcraft mobile game? Would you expect that?
World of Warcraft will also have new content, but let's start with another one. Officials said they will bring you a game based on the "Warcraft" universe designed specifically for mobile platforms in May. Gu Ying I think that the first reaction of all players when they see this content is that the "Warcraft Mobile Game Edition" is coming. Of course, is it the mobile game version of World of Warcraft, or the mobile game version of Warcraft? I really didn't say that.
Everyone understands that RTS games are in decline all over the world, and even Blizzard in the past will not make such a design... Right? Of course, if it is really a mobile game version of Warcraft, it can only be said that Blizzard is a man. Of course, no matter what, this is indeed a time when Blizzard is embracing.
Incidentally, at the 18th Carnival, the phrase "Don't you have a cell phone?" "It can be seen as some kind of time node. It may not be the beginning of Blizzard's decline, but it must be a strong addition to Blizzard's history. Of course, whether this stroke is good or bad, everyone has their own judgment.
At the same time, the dark mobile game that led to this sentence, three or four years have passed, and it is still only heard and not seen. Although there are tests, but back and forth so many times, when the time to go online is still not a quasi-letter. Watchman 2 is really coming, and Dark 4 doesn't know where it is.
3. World of Warcraft
Regarding World of Warcraft, more mentioned is the esports content of Warcraft. The so-called "Epic Keystone Dungeon Global Championship" will bring more exciting events, allowing players to compete with the top masters around the world. I don't understand it very well, so I won't expand on this point. However, World of Warcraft, or rather the entire end game market is shrinking, creating a mobile version of Warcraft is indeed not necessarily a bad thing.
In the end, again, as the old adage goes, no one wants Blizzard to go out of business, but he seems to be working in that direction. I hope that after being acquired by Microsoft, there will be a good future.
