Breaking rumors for Blizzcon

As one of the biggest events at Blizzcon 2019 is announcements, we collect here the strongest rumors that have been heard for the games that are going to have a presence at the event.

First of all, there is speculation with Overwatch 2, which will either be a major rework for the base game or a standalone game. It will be focused on game modes of players against the stage, something similar to Left 4 Dead.

Then there's the announcement for Diablo 4, an announcement that they could have advanced to quell the ire of gamers who were angered by the announcement of Diablo Immortal for mobile.

These two rumors come from a leak by Kotaku last June, and that recently has had strength thanks to the leak of the following image of the speculated Overwatch 2.

There is also slight speculation about another expansion for World of Warcraft, which would arrive in the summer of next year following the cycle of an expansion every two years. The last one was Battle for Azeroth released last year.

Finally, there are the six “Events to be Revealed” that have been found in the BlizzCon schedule, indicating that there may be six major announcements during the news conference airing at 19:00 p.m. on November 1.
