Blizzard brukar alltid spara sin allra fläskigaste utannonseringar till den egna spelmässan Blizzcon, som enligt gammal god tradition går av stapeln i november. Men det innebär inte att de anländer helt tomhänta till Gamescom-mässan i Köln nästa vecka. Tvärtom verkar de ha med sig lite gott och blandat till många av sina spel.
En ny karta ska visas upp till Overwatch, en ny hjälte till Heroes of the Storm och en färsk dungeon från nästa World of Warcraft-patch. Spana in gamescom.blizzard.com för alla detaljer.
