Following the conclusion of our One Hell of an Art Contest, we’re excited to present some of our favorite submissions from members of the Diablo IV community. Sanctuary exacts a toll from all who brave its unforgiving expanse. Some pay this tax in blood; these artists paid their tribute with pixels.

In an effort to gain early entry to the Diablo IV Open Beta, Twitter’s most intrepid individuals wrangled beasts more fearsome than Hell’s mightiest fiends: their computers’ paint programs. Wielding virtual pencils and paint buckets, each user painstakingly rendered masterworks fit to deck the...

Beginning this week, players can Timewalk through a previous expansion each week for six consecutive weeks. This grand tour through World of Warcraft’s past will start with Cataclysm and end with Wrath of the Lich King.

Also, for a limited time, the Timewalking quest in Valdrakken from Kazra will offer an increased reward—a Heroic level Cache of Vault Treasures with items level 402-411.

It’s almost that time again when the big Hearthstone clock in the sky counts down to a new Hearthstone year: the Year of the Wolf!

Before we sink our teeth into the Year of the Wolf, let's take a look back at the Year of the Hydra. The Year of the Hydra has been an amazing year for Hearthstone! We swam with giants in Voyage to the Sunken City, playing over 325 million Colossal minions to make big waves. We solved a murder-mystery (of sorts) in Murder at Castle Nathria, playing over 973 million Locations in our quest for clues. An...

Ready to make memories with your friends and share magical adventures with them across Azeroth and beyond? The Recruit A Friend program is perfect for showing them the ropes. Earn the latest goblin tech with a shorter reward cadence when you recruit new players or returning players in good standing who have not had active game time on their account for the past two years.

The Recruit A Friend (RAF) program retains fan-favorite features, and it introduces a bounty of brand-new rewards. Like the previous program, you can teleport to each other with Friend-to-Friend Summoning (which works on a 30-minute cooldown)—because Azeroth is best experienced with friends at your side.

More Recruits, More Rewards

The Recruit A Friend program allows you to be linked with up to 10 friends and earn game time and other unique rewards—like mounts, pets, and more—the longer they play. Players new to WoW and veteran players who have not purchased game time o...

Everyone's favorite alien onion, Pachimari, is back with its own in-game event! Pachimari is the cute, cuddly, and collectible plush toy which first appeared in the Hanamura arcade's crane games. Login to Overwatch 2 now and complete event challenges to earn Pachi-themed cosmetics and play in an all-new arcade game mode featuring Pachimari itself!

It's time to CATCH-A-MARI!

To kick things off for PachiMarchi, we’re bringing an all-new 3v3 “elimination-confirmed” game mode to Overwatch 2, Catch-A-Mari. Like Team Deathmatch, teams will coordinate to stay alive and defeat their opponents, but each time an opponent is eliminated, a Pachimari toy will drop from their hero. The team who got the elimination needs to collect that Pachimari in order to score a point. If an opponent grabs it first, they prevent the other team from scoring!

You'll be in a Pachi-collecting frenzy as you compete on the arena maps of Blizzard World, Kanezaka, and Downtown Busa...
