Blizzcon 2016: What happened

Firstly, there was no Diablo 4, much to the disappointments of fans. However, players will be very happy with what has been announced either way: Blizzard is adding a Retro, Diablo 1-style Mode with the next update. Those who have played Diablo through the versions will surely appreciate this addition. Nostalgia is a strong factor in long running series like this. Also, there will be a new Necromancer class for Diablo 3 as well. This is great news, as the Necromancer class has many utilities and enhancements. This will also enrich the game’s already wide variety of classes.

Next up, we have Overwatch, considered one of the best shooting games. Sombra, the new hero who has been rumored before, has finally been introduced. However, nothing much is known about ability. She is shown to be able to go invisible, have superspeed hacking, and can teleport, so that may give us a hint. Also in the event, Blizzard has revealed that the company is setting up an Overwatch competitive League of its own. This is great news for competitive players, as they now have a big venue where they can showcase their skills to the world, and earn real prizes.

The last bits of information ill be about Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard has shared in the event that there will be a new expansion for Hearthstone: Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.
