Watching Blizzard: Slow news day? Slow news day. (Patreon)

As we head into the holidays in the US, news is probably going to slow down, too. The news deluge from BlizzCon had to end sometime, right? But it's not as though there's nothing going on at all. Here's the latest from the world of Blizzard today.

Don't forget! There's a WoW Q&A tomorrow

• We may not get anything new about Battle for Azeroth, but we should get some answers about patch 7.3.5 and more.

Interested in the new Hearthstone expansion?

• Pick up a free Kobolds and Catacombs pack in this week's Tavern Brawl.

Just what is Blizzard doing with Vol'jin in Battle for Azeroth?

• Something, but we don't know quite what.

For better or worse...

• Battle for Azeroth won't have traditional tier armor sets.
