The Son of Stormwind lies here. Broken in two by his weakness, he lived by the sword. Forged together again, the greatest king the Kingdoms of Lordearon have ever seen. He led the might of the Alliance with pride. He lives forever in our very hearts.
Oh, son of Stormwind

Gamescom had a lot revelations and new content for us to enjoy in all of the Blizzard worlds and I have a feeling we weren’t prepared for all of this…
The News
World of Warcraft
Just incase you didn’t know a new expansion has been annouced: Legion
Main Features
Starcraft 2
‘Allied Commanders is coming soon as part of StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, bringing with it a variety of open-ended cooperative experiences to explore and conquer’
Co-op PvE Starcraft – looks like another new way to draw people into the game and also give the game extra longevity outside of Standard Multiplayer. Nice feature we think!
Heroes of the Storm
New heroes and new battleground have been annouced!
New Heroes:
New BG : Infernal Shrines
“Infernal Shrines is a three-lane Diablo-themed Battleground featuring three shrines that will periodically gather power. Teams can unleash this power by activating a shrine, defeating its guardians, and summoning a devastating Punisher to fight for them. These powerful bosses will spawn with one of three deadly affixes—Arcane, Frozen, or Mortar— and will hunt down nearby enemy Heroes as well as pushing the lane closest to their shrine.”
They added the lovely arcane spell that everyone loves in Diablo (if you got the item that makes you immune)
Hearthstone
New mechanic in Hearthstone, Jousting. New ranked rewards and new cards!

“First they said you might be able to fly. Then they said you weren’t. But now you will for sure be able to fly in Draenor. If they take it away again we’ll go for a brawl in the Tavern.”
World of Warcraft
The developers finally reached a final conclusion and decided that flying WILL be available in Draenor.
Heroes of the Storm
Within the first week of Heroes of the Storm the first new hero got added which is the crusader from Diablo 3: Johanna

Heroes of the Storm
Two new heroes are being added to the game very soon. It’s Kael’thas and Johanna the crusader from Diablo 3 – and as usual there’s quite a few skins a mounts as well.

“Thom is back from ice cold Iceland so we are heading into the last wing of Blackrock Mountain to warm him up again. Meanwhile in Hollywood the WoW movie got delayed once again.”

The Warcraft movie got delayed once again but because Universal thought it would be a good summer block buster.
Heroes of the Storm
With the release of Heroes of the Storm you’ll also be able to buy a special starter pack with 5 characters, a skin, and a special mount only available through the starter pack.
Hearthstone
The last wing of Blackrock Mountain is out and we talk about our experience in the mountain and what we thought was good and bad.
