Patch 27.0, launching tomorrow, prepares the way for TITANS to come to Hearthstone on August 1! The patch also includes updates to Battlegrounds, Duels, Arena, and more.

TITANS Are Making Their Way to Hearthstone!

Hearthstone’s next expansion, TITANS, is awakening in Hearthstone on August 1.

Titans are on their way to awaken a new Rewards Track! When the Rewards Track refreshes with the TITANS launch, all players will automatically be granted any unclaimed rewards on the current free Rewards Track and the Tavern Pass track (if purchased), before a completely new TITANS Rewards Track of titan creations takes its place.

Festival of Legends Achievements will stop awarding XP with the launch of Patch 27.0, whereas the Rewards Track will swap over with the launch of the TITANS expansion on August 1.

TITANS Rewards Track

The free Rewards Track for TITANS will include packs from TITANS, Standard Packs, a random Epic card, two random Legendary cards, Tavern Tickets, a new card back, and a...

On July 18, we released Patch 1.1.0 for Diablo IV. Since then, we’ve received valuable feedback from the community regarding the changes it implemented. We took the opportunity to address that feedback directly during our Season of the Malignant Campfire Chat on July 21.

Game director Joe Shely, associate game director Joseph Piepiora, and associate director of community Adam Fletcher detailed why the changes in Patch 1.1.0 were made, what we were aiming to achieve with those changes, and the steps we’re taking to ensure we will never implement a patch like that again in the future. If you’d like to watch the full livestream, see the below video on demand.

Sanctuary is a volatile place—danger lurks at every turn and Lilith’s reappearance has ushered in a new era of hardships for those unfortunate enough to call these lands home. While its denizens may not have much in the way of material goods, they make up for it with rich stories to tell.

The Tales of Sanctuary is a collection of free-to-read Diablo IV short stories introducing a cast of new characters, with a few familiar faces sprinkled in. The third entry into this series is “Sanctum of Bone” by Carly Anne West and can be read below.

As Blizzard evolves as a studio, inside and out, one of the ideas pushing us forward is meeting players around the world where they are and making our games as easy as possible to access and play. We want to give everyone a chance to experience our universes with old friends while making new ones, no matter how they choose to play. 

Battle.net is the home of all our PC players, and over the years, we’ve evolved our platform to support updated technologies, capabilities, and our communities’ expectations. But as we’ve evolved, the industry has evolved too–gaming is no longer just for specific communities as it was when Battle.net launched over two decades ago, gaming is for everyone–and though we remain committed to continually investing in and supporting Battle.net, we want to break down the barriers to make it easier for players everywhere to find and enjoy our games.

Which is why we’re trying something new. 

We’re excited to announce that we are bringing ...

Season of the Malignant is upon us, wanderer!

The first Season of Diablo IV begins on July 20 at 10 a.m. PDT. Keep Sanctuary safe from a growing infestation by harnessing the potency of Malignant Hearts and unleashing the power within.

Patch 1.1.0 is now live! Visit this article for more information on the bug fixes, balance updates, and stats for new Unique items and Legendary Aspects it introduces.

Straight Out of Kalimdor

The Mighty Kodo Pack* is here to strengthen your journey around Azeroth. Far from being merely beasts of burden, the kodos of Kalimdor are also fierce companions and loyal mounts—though they tend to be less helpful where finesse might be required.

While stalwart defenders are pushing back against the encroaching chaos from other timelines to ensure the preservation of the future, the next content update is in the making.

In Fury Incarnate, players can join forces in new public events—Dreamsurges, earn Forsaken and Night Elf Heritage Armor, band together to run Heroic difficulty for the Dawn of the Infinite mega-dungeon, follow Velen’s prophecy to reveal a new future for some of the draenei people—and more.

New Public Events: Dreamsurges

Each week one of the four original zones in the Dragon Isles—The Waking Shores, Ohn’ahran Plains, Thaldraszus, and The Azure Span—will be affected by Waking Dream portals across the zones. For those who seek an additional challenge, encounters with rare creatures and event bosses wil...

To help players get back into the action in Azeroth, we’re providing any characters level 10-60 who have not been logged into the game for 60 days with a special Welcome Back Gift. Players will also have the option to clear their quests from their log and begin with a clean slate. To continue your leveling journey, you’ll be able to speak with Chromie in the Orgrimmar Embassy or Stormwind Embassy to choose your path. Players who are in the midst of Shadowlands or Battle for Azeroth campaigns won’t be able to clear their quests, however.

How it works:

• Any character level 10-60 who hasn’t logged in in 60 days will receive a notification of the Gear Update in the character login screen.
• Players can then select if they wish to wipe their quest log or keep their existing quests. Characters currently on the Shadowlands or Battle for Azeroth campaigns won't have the option to wipe their quest logs.
• Play...

The Dragon Isles have awakened, and you can join in the exploration of this new land even when you’re not at your computer with the WoW Companion App. To stay on top of the latest events in Azeroth, you can download the free mobile app that lets players take World of Warcraft with you anywhere you go with multiple expansion support—including the Major Factions feature in Dragonflight.

Auction House

The WoW Companion App has been updated to include the ability to sell your wares on the go. Stock up on items you need or sell off items you don’t on the go. Here’s what you can do:

• Browse and view current auctions
• Buy auctions
• Search for auctions
• Add and remove items from your Favorites list
• Post items from your inventory for sale
• View and cancel your listed auctions

Venture into time itself to push back the encroaching chaos from other timelines and ensure the preservation of the future in the Fractures in Time content update. You’ll also be able to tend whelps in the Ruby Lifeshrine, embrace the way of the Warlock as the class expands to all races, specialize as the new dracthyr Augmentation Evoker, and more.
