The roads in Northrend are icy and fraught with danger. To help you continue your adventures in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, players will get the benefit of the Joyous Journeys experience buff*, which will increase experience gains by 50% for all players through level 80! It’s a great time to finish leveling a character, create a new one, or invite friends to join you in your adventures.

Players can also visit any innkeeper in the capital cities and Dalaran to turn the experience buff off or on. The Joyous Journey’s experience buff will be available from December 13 through January 16, 2023.

*Experience buff not available in modern World of Warcraft®.

Patch 25.0.3 is a data-only patch going live today with updates to two Standard cards.

Card Updates

Dev Comment: We set up this balance window to address any changes we wanted to make immediately after the expansion launched. Shockspitter is exactly that type of card, ending games sooner, more easily, and more consistently than we intended. Sire Denathrius is a card we have had our eyes on for some time, but we wanted to see how he performed in the new expansion first. With a couple days of data, we can see that it is still a very popular and polarizing card, warping early meta development in a way we want to address before the World Championship (December 16-18).

This balance update was reserved for only the most standout cards immediately after expansion unlock. We’ll continue to keep our eye on how the metagame develops and make any further adjustments needed in our next balance window, reserved f...

Ramattra storms the Overwatch 2 roster with a fierce ability kit and domineering playstyle—would you expect anything else from the leader of Null Sector?

Truth be told, Ramattra was a technically challenging hero to make. He’s very special in the world of Overwatch, both as a playable hero, and as a character with a rich story—Ramattra is exceptional, and we’re so excited to share him with you. 

He was always intended to be a tank because we knew we wanted him to be able to transform into his big, imposing tank. We call this his “Nemesis form”, but before we get into that, let’s walk through his concept and kit with members of the Overwatch 2 hero design team: 

• Josh Noh, Lead Balance Designer
• Tess Leiman, Associate Game Designer 

Ramattra is the first tempo tank we’ve added to Overwatch 2, which means he can change forms moment to moment. The base form for Ramattra is his omnic form.
