BlizzCon 2019 Commemorative Art

[glowpipe]

The Barbarian kinda made me chuckle. There's a certain irony in one of their least cared for franchises being in the center of the piece.

Maybe its front and center to reflect whats coming in this Blizzcon ? diablo 4 would be rather big news

Yess baby, Sylvanas aint going nowhere

On Sylvanas being on the key art. The Blizzcon they announced WoD had Garrosh as the key art character, the gamescom they announced Legion had Gul'dan, and the Blizzcon they announced BfA had Jaina... Oh, there was also the pandaren on the key art for the year MoP was announced. But that one was hidden and they didn't confirm it was meant to be a pandaren until after the announcement (though many speculated it was beforehand). Each time the character is a major driving force of the new expansion's plot this could imply the next one will have her be the main hero or villain of whatever it's about as well.

[Eazy]

Barbarian - Diablo Immortal,
Trace - Some Overwatch cinematic,
Mecha-Tyrael - Another hero for HOTS,
Night Elf - Some new cards for HS,
The guy onthe right with hologram - New DLC campaign for SCII,
Sylvanas looks like she's already bored - 3 more quests for War Campaign.

Expected more from Blizzcon?

Well this blizzcon already looks like shit. Way to come out swinging bliz

Exactly.

The Science Guy is Egon Stetmann, a Terran Scientist once part of Jim Raynor's "Raynor's Raiders" (Starcraft).

The fuck happened to Stetman?

[Arrashi]

The fuck happened to Stetman?

He listened only to death grips mashups for whole year.

[Ara Myrr]

He listened only to death grips mashups for whole year.

Got *really* high on Terrazine gas or something, I think.

[Muh]

The fuck happened to Stetman?

Addicted to therazin

Took me a while to place the bearded guy on the right, as it seems it's a Hydralisk hologram on his pad, so he must represent Starcraft, at least in my opinion. I have to wonder, though, why they didn't pick a more recognizable character like Sarah Kerrigan or Jim Raynor. They did so with Warcraft and Overwatch...

[Razorice]

Alas As I still a 35" 4k 1ms response monitor, I have not actually purchased a phone.

Still got this behemoth

Damn that looks sick.

[Zandalariprelate]

But Sylvanas was pretty much absent aside from the prepatch and Derek fiasco.

Yeah that's pretty much what I said. Sylvanas has barely appeared outside of the beginning just like Jaina in Legion and if the shadowlands has Arthas as the main villain, then we will get more development in that part.

[Anoikis]

Why is Aaron Kaufman on the key art?

[Stacie]

*Speculation*
Overwatch 2
Diablo 4
HOTS (New char)
SC (new stuff)
WoW (new expan sylvanis looks depressed)
Hearthstone (new expan/cards)

Might be a decent Blizzcon for trailers.

I like how the Overwatch chick is upfront and the game's already been abandoned. Or was that just Heroes of the Storm? I don't keep up with anything but WoW.

[iosdeveloper]

upgrades guy from StarCraft seems to have discovered LSD macrodosing

There's nothing abandoned about that game, it was just announced for the Nintendo Switch. Of course they'll try to milk it some more.

[shimargh]

Man, FUCK Sylvanas already.

[Justpassing]

Tracer x Sylvanas expansion confirmed.

[Malacrass]

The content for Hots is a Mecha Tyrael skin, that's it. No new hero, no new model, just a skin.

Not complaining, the game is officially on life-support so that was to be expected, but just so people don't get the wrong idea.

However, it's curious that they still dare to show the ugly face of Diablo Immortal on a Blizzcon poster. Or maybe there is more and this is just a mild trigger?

[Laylriana]

Something looks off about Sylvanas, maybe the chin is too long? Or the forehead too high? The skin color is definitely different.

Raynor and Kerrigan are gone. I assume the stuff in the art is all relevant to things going forward. Egon is still around and addicted to Terrazine, which seems important in game.
