Blizzard launches its first Warcraft RTS campaign in two decades, now playable, and announces new content for Hearthstone, Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, plus industry updates.

Blizzard announced the first new Warcraft real‑time strategy campaign in two decades, and the mission is playable today on PC.

Warcraft campaign details

The company said the campaign returns to the series' classic RTS roots, featuring updated graphics and new multiplayer modes. Players can access the early missions immediately without a waiting period. Blizzard confirmed that the campaign will receive regular balance patches over the coming months.

Hearthstone adds a new class

Hearthstone will introduce its first new class in four years, the developer said. The class will bring fresh mechanics and a story‑driven journal that expands the game's lore. Hearthstone confirmed the rollout will begin with a beta test next week.

Overwatch’s fantasy shift

Overwatch revealed a new blood‑sucking character that pushes the shooter further into fantasy territory, according to the studio. The hero wields vampiric abilities and a melee weapon that drains health from opponents. Overwatch said the character will join the roster in the upcoming seasonal update.

Heroes of the Storm returns with a new hero

For the first time in six years, Heroes of the Storm will add a new character, the team announced. The hero is described as a hybrid mage‑warrior with crowd‑control skills. Heroes of the Storm confirmed the character will be available at launch of the next patch.

Industry financial note

An analyst said the Death Stranding franchise likely barely broke even, a factor that could explain Sony’s decision to drop the Physint project. The analyst cited limited sales data and high development costs as primary reasons.

Hot Toys releases detailed Wolverine figure

Hot Toys said its new Marvel Wolverine figure reproduces the character’s hair, claws and silicone‑arm details with high fidelity. The company highlighted the inclusion of individually molded, hairy silicone arms as a first for the line. The figure will ship worldwide later this month.

Blizzard’s simultaneous announcements signal a broad push across its portfolio, aiming to refresh legacy titles while expanding newer franchises.
