227s I mean like it's cliche but it's such a
229s dream come true of being able to create
231s the things that brought me so much
233s happiness over the years until I landed
237s here in Irvine uh and went into the
239s blizzard campus I literally didn't
241s believe it was happening I went into my
242s office and on the on the door sign
245s against my door it said Chris medson so
248s I just saw him going into the room one
250s day and just I completely geeked out
252s it's so strange coming into work and
254s realizing oh I I I work on this thing
257s now I get to contribute to the world in
259s whatever way that I can and then seeing
262s it go live in game whether that's a
264s couple months afterwards or even up to a
266s year after I finished the task seeing
269s people react to it is it's amazing
274s [Music]
286s honestly for me playing my with my
288s friends is probably the best part of
290s World of Warcraft like a lot of the
291s memories I have growing up were just
294s things I did with my friends I I really
296s like the communities in our games um
298s especially in World of Warcraft I made a
300s lot of friends definitely some of my
301s closest friends are people that I've met
303s uh playing World of Warcraft I've gone
305s to uh a few different weddings of people
308s that I met playing wow wow means a lot
311s to me I met my wife playing World of
313s Warcraft so it is a game that means an
316s awful lot to me personally I met my wife
319s through the game and she asked if we
322s wanted to play uh Arena together we
326s talked more than play so I got to know
329s her a little better and many years later
333s um we have a family together and uh
337s we're still playing wow I would say
340s there's maybe a good 50 to 100 people
343s that uh I've come across and stayed
346s connected with uh in my personal life
349s and in professional life that we really
352s strengthened our bond playing uh World
354s of Warcraft together
358s [Music]
379s [Music]
397s working on Hearthstone and just in the
399s warcraft franchise and at blizzard in
402s general is something I've always dreamed
404s about to work on this game that I've
406s played and been a fan of for um most of
409s my adult life it's a dream come true I
410s think to work on World of Warcraft was
413s um something I could have never imagined
416s my job in Tails uh is a senior test
418s analyst being on the team working on
420s Warcraft Rumble it's an incredible
422s experience um and again since I love the
424s game anyways uh I have the passion for
426s it right so I love to just be a part of
428s that uh whole experience I work in
431s localization I play on the towan is
433s realm so I see firsthand players all
436s over the world um able to enjoy the game
439s in the language that they're used to uh
443s it is a great feeling to see that
448s [Music]
461s way back in the day I was 12 years old
464s and somehow I ended up with in a guil
466s with a bunch of guys that were in their
467s late 20s they really enjoyed outdoor PVP
471s and even though I was a lower level I
472s would still join them from time to time
474s let them use me as bait for Alliance
476s players uh my favorite memory is
478s actually when I my Guild Master on his
481s out I managed to beat him and then for
484s the first time ever I unmuted my mic and
487s with the most high-pitched squeaky
489s pre-present voice I told him how does it
491s feel getting beaten by
494s 12-year-old we had what we called
496s computer time so like our parents would
497s ration how much time we would have for
500s using a computer where we'd have like
502s two hours on I would have like two hours
504s on a Monday Ryan have two hours on a
506s Tuesday or something so yeah we would
508s have to tradeoff in that sense some days
510s we might trade hours or yeah we used to
514s sometimes save some of our allowance
515s money to buy hours from each other to
517s have more computer time my first game
520s was uh Warcraft 3 reign of chaos uh in
523s the warcraft universe and then from
526s there I expanded Beyond to The Frozen
528s Throne I have a lot of memories playing
531s a lot of custom games um you know a lot
533s of those Tower Defense games that are
535s super fun I was one of the main healers
539s uh in in our raid group um and I was
543s home for the summer from college and my
545s parents had just gotten a puppy and I
548s was like oh my puppy's been really quiet
550s I don't that's unusual and I kind of
552s lean over past my laptop and she had
555s gotten into one of my artist pens and
557s she just had ink everywhere and me
560s naturally being like you know worried
562s cuz I thought one of the ink pens was
564s toxic I was like oh my God my puppy's
566s going to die did not explain further
568s than that through the laptop
570s and wiped our entire raid uh and that's
573s one of my favorite stories of how my
575s puppy killed 25 people in world Warcraft
578s I loved PVP and I think uh I think I
582s went on a a 10- win streak once I'm not
585s that good but I love it and I think I
587s went on a 10 10- win streak once in the
589s arena and um and I didn't even think
593s about it it just happened and uh it was
595s pretty
596s awesome I still remember the first time
598s I went to BlizzCon it was the 2017
602s BlizzCon was really excited first time
604s getting to see all of these big

1005s remains so important to me and so many
1007s players around the
1010s world throughout my career I've stuck to
1012s a few guiding principles when something
1014s is broken you fix it when something is
1017s wrong you make it right and if things

1206s [Music]
1233s job's
1239s done it's pretty amazing to think that
1242s Hearthstone turns 10 this year it's been
1244s such an incredible decade together we've
1247s made the tavern a place for sharing Joy
1249s excitement and some very tall tales
1252s indeed we've made friends with murlocs
1254s battled old gods and now we're traveling
1257s through space but for me me the most
1260s incredible thing of all is that I get to
1262s work on my favorite game with such an
1264s amazing team ever since Hearthstone came
1266s out we've been with you on that road to
1268s Legend I remember on my first climb to
1271s Legend I had played something like 500
1273s games in one month and as the clock
1276s ticked to midnight I was two wins away
1278s and didn't make it but I played another
1281s 500 games the following month and made
1283s it shout out to darkshire councilman but
1286s those 1,000 games pale in comparison to
1289s the more than 160 billion games that
1291s we've all played over the last decade
1294s and that's not counting Battlegrounds
1297s can you believe that it's been 5 years
1299s since the mode launched at BlizzCon
1301s that's 5 years of building death rattle
1303s Beast comps magnetizing Mech completing
1306s quests and collecting trinkets it's been
1308s awesome to watch Battlegrounds grow from
1311s what was pitched as the biggest Tavern
1313s brawl ever into what it is today we are
1316s so thankful to our community for being
1318s with us over this incredible decade and
1320s we're looking forward to the next 10
1322s years in the tavern together the future
1324s is packed with even more places to
1327s explore and Adventures to share more
1329s expansions more Min sets and more
1332s surprises now let's take a look at
1334s what's just around the
1337s corner one of the amazing things of
1339s working at blizzard is getting to watch
1341s other teams pushing the boundaries on
1343s their own
1344s games I think we're all genuinely fans
1346s of what our co-workers are up to and
1348s it's really special when we find moments
1350s to
1351s collaborate what's up everybody I hope
1354s you're enjoying your adventures Among
1355s the Stars in the Great Dark Beyond we
1358s loved working on this expansion and
1360s wanted to take our next mini set further
1362s into the cosmos than ever before prepare
1365s to travel Beyond Azeroth Beyond Warcraft
1368s and into Heroes of
1371s StarCraft I'm super excited for this
1373s minis set it's the first time we've ever
1375s explored Another Universe this deeply in
1378s Hearthstone a ton of people on the team
1380s so much love for Starcraft so being able
1383s to bring it into the Hearthstone Tavern
1384s has been incredible some might say it's
1388s about
1391s time obviously we knew we had to go big
1395s the Zerg tan and protos factions are
1398s represented on cards via a faction
1400s Banner not only do the cards in each
1402s faction work well with one another
1404s they're also usable across multiple
1406s classes each of the factions also has a
1409s hero card featuring one of the most
1411s iconic faces from Starcraft the Zerg are
1414s led by the queen of blades herself Sarah
1417s carrian she gives death Knights Hunters
1420s warlocks and Demon Hunters access to an
1423s aggro Place Style with near endless
1425s swarms of Zerg cards after all what
1428s would a Starcraft minis set even be
1430s without its own version of a zerg rush
1432s for the protos we have the legendary
1434s artanis seeking to unify his people he
1437s grants his powers to Druids Mages
1440s priests and Rogues he focuses on
1443s powerful High Mana cost units and uses
1446s the psionic powers of the protos to make
1448s those cards cheaper and finally who else
1451s could we have to lead the Teran besides
1453s the iconic Jim Rainer thanks to him
1456s Warriors paladins and Shaman will get a
1459s hold of the new starship keyword from
1460s the main set but these aren't your
1462s average star ships they're battle
1465s Cruisers when we first started working
1467s on this minis set we went to the team
1469s and asked what does this need to have in
1471s order to truly feel like Starcraft we've
1474s made sure to represent as many units
1476s from Starcraft as possible there's even
1478s one character from Warcraft that snuck
1481s their way into the set grunty the Teran
1484s armored
1485s murlock on top of everything else Heroes
1488s of Starcraft has more cards than any
1491s mini set we've done before there's so
1493s much to explore here so many strategies
1495s so many interactions and so much
1498s Starcraft Nostalgia and we might have
1501s some special music as well just for the
1503s occasion Heroes of Starcraft is coming
1507s in January
1508s 2025 but there's even more coming up for
1511s Hearthstone we're making some big
1513s changes to
1520s Arena as Leo mentioned arena is getting
1523s a major glow up but first let's talk
1526s about what makes Arena special arena is
1528s hearthstone's premium draft mode where
1530s you build your own deck from scratch at
1532s the start of every run it's all about
1534s you flexing your deck building skills
1536s and card knowledge to defeat your
1537s opponents and believe it or not Arena
1539s has stayed mostly the same for 10 years
1542s so we thought it was finally time for a
1543s little bit of an update from now on
1545s there will be two kinds of Arena to
1547s choose from normal Arena has a shorter
1550s format that lets you complete your runs
1552s more quickly but still gives you that
1553s awesome competitive Arena experience and
1556s after you've established yourself in the
1557s normal Arena you you'll be able to
1559s descend into the dark dank Cellar of the
1561s tavern where Challengers are engaging in
1564s high stakes card play in our underground
1566s Arena underground has a distinctive
1569s basement aesthetic longer runs and a new
1571s feature we call redraft on loss this
1574s means that when you lose you'll have the
1576s option to redraft cards and edit your
1578s deck refining it to up your chances of
1580s winning as you take on more hardened
1582s Challengers we heard you also want a way
1585s to show off that you're an arena
1586s Champion we got you Arena ratings will
1589s be available for both the normal and
1591s underground modes ranking for the two
1594s are separate with the usual skill-based
1596s matchmaking in normal Arena but in
1598s underground Arena you'll be throwing
1600s caution to the wind and facing off
1602s against opponents of all skill levels
1604s whether you're an arena veteran or maybe
1606s you just haven't clicked that Arena
1608s button in a while we hope these changes
1610s offer you another exciting way you can
1612s enjoy your time in the tavern with us
1614s and I'm happy to tell you all of this
1616s will be coming in the first half of next
1618s year
1619s now here's Tyler to share even more of
1621s what's in store for
1626s Hearthstone hey everyone as you can see
1629s we've got a lot of really exciting
1631s things planned for the next few updates

1638s about what's coming next it's going to
1640s be the year of the Raptor and you'll be
1642s going on some awesome adventures in some

1657s Faceoff between The Druids of the
1659s emerald dream and the forces of the old
1661s gods they'll be fighting a high stakes
1663s battle over the fate of the world tree

1707s recruit Legend legendary Warcraft Heroes
1710s like you've never seen them before this
1712s all leads to an epic showdown against
1714s mizon at the end of time and you won't
1717s believe what happens next you've seen
1720s just how much we've got in store for you
1721s over the next year Heroes of Starcraft
1724s revamped Arena and three awesome
1726s expansions we're incredibly excited and
1729s we hope you're incredibly excited thank
1731s you so much for being part of this
1733s incredible journey 10 years in and our
1736s adventures in the tavern together are
1738s only just
1742s [Music]
1749s beginning blizzard has this awesome
1751s tradition of sharing the journey that
1752s each team took to bring their games to
1755s [Music]
1760s life I think this museum is a beautiful
1762s way to relive the memories of
1764s development and share that passion with
1766s the rest of blizzard
1769s what's up everyone it's been about a
1771s year since I stood on the main stage of
1773s BlizzCon and we launched Warcraft Rumble
1775s together with all of you and what a year
1778s it's been all of us on the team have had
1780s so much fun watching you dig into our
1782s game and explore the Hero Collection the
1784s Army building the nail biting
1787s finishes you've beaten over 900 million
1790s bosses and on the matter of Alliance
1792s versus horde you pick team Jana almost
1794s 10% more but maybe most importantly
1798s you've summoned over 1 billion angry
1800s chickens that's 2 billion chicken wings
1803s cut cut in just a second Jeremy we're
1806s trying to shoot Rumble here oh Rumble oh
1809s I know a little bit about that scoot the
1812s camera cool awesome when we started
1815s working on Warcraft Rumble we wanted to
1817s make something that hearkened back to
1819s our strategy routes like the first time
1821s I booted up Warcraft 2 on my dad's
1823s PowerMax 7166 AV I'm stoked to play
1826s those new remasters but we also wanted
1829s to do something in our universe that
1830s we've never done before so we started
1832s imagining that maybe somewhere in the
1834s Hearthstone Tavern there was a
1836s mysterious arcade machine that printed
1838s miniature versions of the heroes and
1840s villains of Azeroth and Zed them to life
1843s for you to collect and command in those
1845s kind of early days when we were
1846s establishing the art style of Warcraft
1848s Rumble we wanted a sense of tactility we
1851s wanted to be able to pick up and touch
1852s the art that we were creating inside of
1853s the computer so some of us went and
1855s printed Minis and painted them up like
1857s this and that kind of really where all
1859s this came from all these minis were
1861s painted by our team and uh well if I'm
1864s I'm a little bit biased but this little
1865s guy is my
1867s favorite what does that say underneath
1870s oh under here oh it says
1872s Jeremy but we've done more than paint
1874s minis since our game launched we've
1876s added new Dungeons and at least one new
1879s Mini every single
1881s season we've got the Dark Moon Fair New
1884s zones and a whole new family feed
1886s experience in the game we added our
1888s first a Molton core and laid Siege to
1890s Stormwind in our latest season we even
1893s bust down the doors of Iron
1895s [Music]
1896s Forge and we ain't stopping there are we
1898s Vic yeah let's talk a little bit about
1900s what's coming up starting right now if
1903s you hop in a rumble we're running our
1904s first anniversary event with some truly
1906s excellent
1908s loot we're celebrating one year of
1910s Warcraft Rumble so if you jump in after
1912s the stream you'll be able to snag some
1914s super cool rewards like the very
1916s valuable looking gold Cobalt which we
1919s affectionately call the coal okay have
1922s you scanned this thing yet great we've
1925s also been working on something really
1926s exciting for later in the season there
1928s are some characters in Warcraft that
1930s don't fit so cleanly into just one of
1932s our families so we're adding split
1934s leaders these leaders belong to two
1936s families at the same time which really
1938s expands the possibilities of how you
1940s build out your armies and we're not just
1941s adding one split leader we're starting
1944s with three up first fighting for the
1946s alliance and scaran family is malurian
1949s storm rage and representing the horde
1952s and black rock families we got Chieftain
1954s and former Warchief orgrim doomhammer
1957s and finally leading Undead and beasts is
1960s Anu Barack but before any of these three
1963s new leaders join the fight we're going
1965s to be reworking one that we released
1966s this time last year Sylvanas windrunner
1969s is finally taking her rightful place
1971s among both The Horde and Undead we've
1974s got an awesome season ahead of us and
1976s can't wait for you to check it out we'll
1977s be right there with you to our amazing
1979s fans thank you for an incredible first
1982s year of Warcraft Rumble and for your
1984s unwavering support your passion fuels
1986s our creativity and truly drives us
1989s forward but there was one more thing we
1991s wanted to talk about

1995s wanted to talk about

2711s in August with the launch of the war
2713s within and we have been so excited to
2715s dive into the expansion alongside all of

2720s delves PVP collecting appearances pets
2723s and mounts role playing or exploring the
2725s open world we hope you found a part of
2727s Azeroth that brings you Joy it's
2730s humbling to be standing here on the eve
2732s of Wow's 20th anniversary looking back
2734s 20 years ago I was fresh out of school
2736s and I had just seen enough of the beta
2738s to know that I needed to play this game
2740s and then immediately stopped to avoid
2742s spoiling the experience for myself i'
2744s booked a couple days off work for launch
2746s and was looking forward to really diving
2748s into Azeroth but little did I know that
2750s my server would be offline for the first
2752s few days due to overwhelming demand
2753s shout out to Mal ganis but even less
2755s could I imagine how this game would in
2758s so many ways Define the rest of the
2760s course of my adult
2761s [Music]
2766s life so let's talk about what's coming
2769s up for World of Warcraft starting with
2771s what's on the horizon we have 1107 siren
2774s Isle which is currently up on our public
2776s test Realms this update will go live
2778s next month and it has something for
2780s everyone on the narrative front this
2782s update includes epilog quest lines for
2784s Dollar on and the Kieran tour no
2786s spoilers but this story line features
2788s the mysterious harer who also played a
2790s starring role in our expansion release
2792s cinematic we'll also get into the
2794s prologue for where we're going next but
2796s more on that in a minute 1107 also of
2799s course brings its namesake the siren
2801s Isle a new outdoor environment to
2803s explore full of mysteries to uncover and
2805s rewards to help catch up your alts and
2807s prepare for the next War within season
2809s ahead plunder storm is returning this
2812s time with a plunder store to give you
2814s more flexibility in earning your rewards
2816s instead of that linear Renown track also
2819s making a return will be the latest
2821s iteration of our turbulent time ways
2822s event and a winter Veil revamp we can't
2825s wait for you all to experience this
2826s update next month as an additional treat
2829s for those of you invested in the story
2830s of the war within we will be releasing a
2833s Noel that explains exactly what happened
2835s to Jana and th after they left us this
2838s Nolla is narrated by none other than
2840s Chris Metson and available
2845s today so I know many of you have already
2847s seen 1107 but you have to be wondering
2850s where the war within is going to take us
2852s after that okay so following zat's Trail
2856s is going to lead us to a location that
2858s I've been personally excited about since
2860s we first settled on the idea of an
2862s underground expansion undermine the
2865s capital of the Goblins trade Empire
2867s fittingly our name for the 111 patch is
2870s undermined with a d now this is a city
2873s unlike any City we've seen before in
2875s World of Warcraft standing as a test m
2877s to the intelligence and creativity Of
2879s the Goblins as masters of technology and
2882s Alchemy and as our Adventures Continue
2884s we will learn more about Goblin culture
2886s than ever before what's important to
2888s them what problems they're trying to
2890s solve what they're capable of as a
2892s society everything that makes them truly
2894s unique beyond the humor and the
2897s explosions though just to be clear
2899s there's going to be a whole lot of
2902s explosions you'll arrive at an undermine
2904s that's plunged into conflict between the
2906s four major Goblin cartels steam Weedle
2909s Blackwater vill water and of course the
2911s Venture
2915s company you will align yourself with a
2917s group of your choice and run into
2919s notorious goblins like Monty gazlo
2922s renzic the shiv Baron revg Marin Noggin
2926s fogger and more now if you're going to
2928s be in cahoots with a goblin cartel you
2930s can't be seen rolling around in anything
2932s less than a truly blinged out ride so
2935s early on you'll earn a vehicle designed
2937s just for undermine to push the
2939s boundaries of locomotion within World of
2941s Warcraft undermine was built for Speed
2945s with roads designed for driving which is
2947s just as well because this car travels
2949s much much faster than your regular
2951s ground mounts you can also further
2953s adjust your car's driving
2955s characteristics do you prefer grip or do
2957s you want to drift more do you want more
2959s acceleration even if it's going to come
2960s at the expense of your top speed that's
2962s up to you you can try it all and rule
2965s the streets of undermine living your
2966s life 440 yard at a
2972s time we'll also be adding a new dungeon
2974s in undermined operation Floodgate which
2977s is a race to stop a group of goblins
2979s from blowing a dam that would bring ruin
2981s to the ringing deeps this dungeon will
2983s also be immediately available as part of
2986s our new season 2 dungeon pool on heroic
2989s Mythic and Mythic plus difficulties
2991s alongside the four other launch Dungeons
2993s and three returning Legacy dungeons now
2996s we'll have many more details in the
2997s weeks ahead but I can tell you that one
3000s of those Legacy dungeons naturally in
3002s light of our Goblin theme Here is the
3004s motherload from Battle for Azeroth
3007s continuing to build upon one of our
3009s favorite parts of the war within this
3011s new Zone brings with it two new delves
3013s for you to explore and we're creating
3015s new variations on the existing delves
3018s we're also introducing seasonal updates
3020s to Brand bronzebeard a new adversary to
3022s follow zvir and a new set of goblin
3025s inspired curios for brand of course a
3028s new season also means a new raid Zone we
3031s have an eight boss raid called The
3033s Liberation of undermine coming your way
3035s which takes you through the streets of
3036s the city and into the Magnificent galago
3039s brimming with color and extravagance
3042s that also hides the dark secrets of its
3044s owner the one and only gwick and for the
3047s arena pvpers out there we're also
3049s introducing a new Arena mat set right
3051s amidst the city
3054s [Music]
3058s now some of you may be wondering how
3060s zotth fits into all of this and how
3062s Goblin politics relate to the fate of
3065s our world soul but rest assured
3067s undermine plays a vital role as a
3069s continuation a next chapter in the many
3072s stories that are unfolding in the war
3073s within we will have a lot more to share
3075s on that front in the months
3078s [Music]
3084s ahead and that is just the beginning of
3087s what we have planned for the next year
3089s now as you can see 2025 is going to be
3092s an incredible year for both modern and
3094s classic Wild
3098s [Music]
