New details have dropped for World of Warcraft's next big patch, and it looks like developer Blizzard Entertainment has some ambitious plans for this next phase in developing one of the best MMO games of all time.

Blizzard has posted the post-BlizzCon Q&A with Bethany Stout, Ion Hazzikostas, Morgan Day and more!

Players familiar to the Diablo franchise, in particular Diablo 3, may have fond memories of mini-pets zipping around screen gathering your gold for you. After all, what's better than having a companion vacuum up all the gold you don't want to walk back and grab? Many players were understandably disappointed that their favorite pets wouldn't be coming with them into the Diablo 4 world — but, as Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson says, «never say never.» In an interview with TRG, Fergusson said the team is a «never say never» team when it comes to additions, including the possibility of mini-pets. TRG Interview with Rod Fergusson During BlizzCon Fergusson had quite a bit to say on the philosophy of Diablo 4's development during TRG's interview, including realizing that the feel of Diablo 3, with flashy cosmetics and sometimes absurd pets, wouldn't add to the feel of despair and terror Diablo 4 was going for on release. Fergusson had this to say on the matter:

During BlizzCon 2023, MrGM interviewed World of Warcraft Production Director Michael Bybee, and Senior Game Designer Sean McCann, discussing Dragonflight and looking forward to The War Within! Major reveals include an eight week content cycle for the remainder of Dragonflight and the return of the Renown system in The War Within.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is perhaps one of the most divisive, if not the most divisive, expansion that has graced the wildly popular MMORPG. With it came a plethora of new dungeons, two entirely new races (one for the Horde and Alliance, respectively), and a drastic change to the world map. But Blizzard Entertainment is dedicated to preserving the nostalgia that’s integral to the success of World of Warcraft: Classic while also keeping modern sensibilities in mind to cater to players who may have missed these pivotal moments in the MMORPG’s history. This includes some user interface revamps, the inclusion of new systems like the Season of Discovery, and more that the Classic team is working on delivering once Deathwing soars back into Azeroth to wreak havoc for a second time.

World of Warcraft: The War Within is the next expansion set to release for the decades-long-running MMORPG. Touted as during the BlizzCon 2023 Opening Ceremony part of the culmination of nearly twenty years of Warcraft history, The War Within is the first of three chapters that will see the resolution to narrative threads that have been dangling for years. And like any expansion, it will feature new areas for players to discover, along with more than a handful of dungeons and encounters they can tackle at varying difficulties.

People who play videogames want "new content literally almost every single day", according to Blizzard president Mike Ybarra - indeed, "they want new stuff every day, every hour". I do not want new stuff every day, every hour, Mike. Frankly, the idea makes me want to burn my possessions and go spend the rest of my life under a pine tree.

Crix hosted an interview at Blizzcon with World of Warcraft Classic developers Josh Greenfield and Nora Valletta. They answered questions about Season of Discovery, Hardcore's upcoming Self Found Mode, Cataclysm Classic and the end of Wrath of the Lich King Classic. You can find some highlights from the interview below, as well as a link to the interview to watch it yourself.

This year at BlizzCon 2023, Wowhead participated in a group interview, detailing Classic content with Assistant Lead Designer Tim Jones and Game Producer Lena Cook, with an emphasis on the recently announced Season of Discovery!Obviously you have Vanilla, Burning Crusade, Lich King, and now Cataclysm. Eventually will every expansion just have its own server at some point? We continue to evaluate what people want to do on progression servers on a case-by-case basis. Does it make sense if we eventfully land on Classic Dragonflight? I'm not sure.
