At the age of 44, Pardo has spent the bulk of his creative career working on Blizzard titles, with the chief creative officer now boasting a resume that would make many PC gamer drool (including work on the original StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, Warcraft 3, Diablo 3, and of course, World of Warcraft). Although his fans were probably looking forward to seeing his touch on both Warlords of Draneor and the long-rumored next MMO to come out of Blizzard, Pardo took to the WoW forums this week to deliver a farewell message to the Battle....

To say that the launch of Diablo 3, one of 2012’s most anticipated games, didn’t go quite as Blizzard planned would be the understatement of the year. Despite Blizzard’s awareness that their games tend to sell like gangbusters, and earlier lessons learned from the World of Warcraft launch, Diablo 3 suffered one of the more disappointing launches in a long time. Gamers were experiencing problems logging into the game’s servers — a problem only created because the game requires an always-on connection — starting from moment one....

Still, every now and again new rumors surface that suggest Blizzard has a new game in the works. Most of the time those rumors turn out to be nothing, but considering this is one of the biggest and most beloved developers in the business it’s always worth laying out the facts. With that in mind, we bring word that Blizzard has trademarked the term ‘Overwatch’ for use in everything from software to PC gaming peripherals....

After Blizzard announced that the online forums for their games, like World of Warcraft and StarCraft II, WoW players filled a massive thread with over fifty thousand replies in a matter of days. In a very surprising turn, Blizzard’s CEO and founder Mike Morhaime sent out a personal response reneging on Blizzard’s Real ID forum requirement. Blizzard players will continue to use either their World of Warcraft character names or StarCraft II character accounts for posting on the forums....

Looking at the original game, one game mechanic that can be improved upon in Bloodborne 2 is the one that separates it from other games in From Software’s catalogue. Blood vials may have been one of few major flaws in Bloodborne, often being the cause of some grinding that would have been otherwise unnecessary if the game had stuck with refillable healing items.

New Delhi, May 16 (PTI) In what could possibly be termed as a blow to the senior officials of the BCCI, the amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium has not tinkered with most of the recommendations from Justice RM Lodha Committee in the draft constitution of the cricket board. The only major point, where the amicus suggested a change was reverting back to the five-man selection panel from the current three-member committee....

Columbus acquired the left winger from the Senators along with a 2019 seventh-round draft pick in the NHL Entry Draft in exchange for Anthony Duclair and two second-round picks on Saturday. The second-round picks are in the 2020 and 2021 NHL Entry Drafts. Dzingel is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the Blue Jackets are hoping the two can come to an agreement on a long-term extension....

“We understand at this point that it was a day and a night of celebrating one of the most cherished events, a wedding, and the daughter of our goaltending coach Manny Legace, Sabrina, was married. It ended in a horrific accident that took the life of a wonderful young man,” said president of hockey operations John Davidson, reading from a prepared statement. “I ask that you keep the Legace family, who considered Kivi a son and a brother, in your prayers, as they are understandably distraught....

This is where Blue Jays fans find themselves after 12 games. A team that was a preseason favorite to compete for at least a wild-card berth and, perhaps, a World Series championship finds itself in last place at 2-10 — the worst record in baseball — in the toughest division in baseball. Quite the unexpected turn of events. So why are the Jays bucking the preseason projections so hard? Why do they look every bit like a long-term cellar-dweller?...

Sportsnet’s Hazel Mae reported late Tuesday that the Jays were heading to Pittsburgh to play their home games, sharing a park with the Pirates in 2020. MORE: World Series odds for 2020 But not so fast: While the Bucs were inviting of the Blue Jays making a nest in the ‘Burgh, Pennsylvania government was not a fan of the idea, and on Wednesday, state health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced (per The Associated Press) that it would not allow the club in....

Last season, many people around the league thought the Clippers eventually trading one of their stars was merely a formality. LA’s “Big Three” was getting older as injuries and playoff failures took their toll. It was time to shake things up. Then the bombshell Chris Paul trade to Houston happened this summer, Doc Rivers lost his GM duties and (most importantly) Blake Griffin and the Clippers decided they wanted to stay together....

Oh, how quickly things can change. In a shocking trade announced early Tuesday, the Clippers sent Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed to the Pistons for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a protected first-round draft pick and a second-round pick. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was first to report the deal Monday evening.

In the face of such uncertainty, however, the Barcelona-based Troglobytes managed to stay afloat as it worked on Blind Fate, an innovative samurai-themed sidescroller. Game Rant sat down with studio lead Saverio Caporusso, who explained how his team was well-equipped to meet the challenge of COVID-19. RELATED: Trek to Yomi Interview: Devs Flying Wild Hog on Their Homage to Classic Samurai Cinema Blind Fate’s Devs Were Already Working Beyond Borders A pandemic that forced people out of the office and into their homes wasn’t a harsh transition for Troglobytes, Caporusso said, because the studio had been designed for remote work since its inception....

Indeed, the eager anxiety, outspoken skepticism, and downright frustration over Diablo III’s development time can now all be tossed into the flaming abyss.

In one of these recent videos Asmongold discussed a new development in the ongoing drama involving him and World of Warcraft, a game he became famous for streaming. This new development centers on a new initiative on Blizzard’s part regarding World of Warcraft, and it’s a bit strange to say the least....

One of the common criticisms that is levied against the Warcraft books is the fact that some very important lore has been relegated to this format. Instead of showing events like Garrosh Hellscream’s trial in World of Warcraft, Blizzard chose to tell it in a novel called War Crimes. While the novel can do a better job of explaining the events and giving players a look into the mind of various characters, there are some events that fans wish were present in-game....
