Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

A big Warcraft III: Reforged update could be coming in the future, judging from some recent findings. As reported on the ResetERA forums, Blizztrack, a website that tracks updates for all Blizzard games, shows that the game's internal Public Test Realm was updated yesterday to version 2.0.0 following a series of minor updates, suggesting that something big may be brewing, as every major version of any Blizzard game usually indicates a significant update. With the series' 30th anniversary being this year, it wouldn't be surprising to see a major overhaul of a game that was among the most controversial releases […]

Yet again, there are more layoffs. This time, Activision Blizzard are the ones responsible, and they will soon be laying off nearly 400 people in the mobile gaming divisions of their company, which are located in Santa Monica and Irvine. By doing this, it eliminates redundancies among the staff after their expensive merge with Microsoft last year, which cost $75.4 billion. It's hardly surprising anymore when Activision Blizzard lays off staff, as they have already laid off 1,003 staff in the past year, with staff being from Novato, Foster City, and Southern California, as stated by filings with the Employment […]
During the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2024, Blizzard revealed some of its upcoming plans. These included a collaboration for Overwatch 2 with the hit anime My Hero Academia, as well as StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft II, both heading to PC Game Pass. The Overwatch 2 collaboration will begin on October 17 and through October 30, where players will get the opportunity to obtain skins of characters such as Deku, Uravity, All Might, Kiriko, and Tomura Shigaraki. Of course, these skins are premium, so players will have to fork over some money to get the skin they choose. The skins are […]
Mike Morhaine is the co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, but today, he is the owner of a new studio called Dreamhaven, which was unveiled in 2020. The company has over 100 staff members and is soon preparing to announce its first game. However, no details have been released about that just yet. Instead, they have revealed that Dreamhaven will publish Lynked: Banner of the Spark, a game unveiled during Gamescom's Opening Night Live ceremony. The news of Dreamhaven publishing Lynked: Banner of the Spark came from Jason Schreier from Bloomberg. Lynked: Banner of the Spark is the debut game from the […]
In the past few years, we have repeatedly heard how consoles are about to die, but the former Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra not only thinks that this won't be the case but also that those losing are pushing a narrative that fits them, taking a not-so-well hidden dig at Microsoft. Speaking on X earlier today, the former Blizzard Entertainment president discussed Sony's approach to exclusive games, saying that it is the correct strategy to follow if you plan to win in the living room. In this regard, Sony not only knows how to make hits but also how to […]
Today, Blizzard announced more details about Overwatch 2 Season 12. First and foremost, the game's roster will be expanded with a new support hero, Juno from Mars. Juno's versatile Mediblaster and Pulsar Torpedoes allow her to simultaneously heal her allies and damage her enemies, making her a fantastic support hero. Her Hyper Ring ability accelerates team movement for quick engagements and retreats, while her high mobility, enhanced by Martian Overboots, allows her to navigate the battlefield with unparalleled agility. Players may then unleash the power of her Orbital Ray and power up their teammates to break through tough strangleholds and […]
In recent weeks, King employees have swapped their LinkedIn information, saying they are now working in Blizzard. This comes in conjunction with Microsoft and Activision's new team, which has been created within Blizzard. This team takes employees from King and other various Blizzard employees and is now a focused team dedicated to working on Blizzard's "AA" games, such as World of Warcraft, Overwatch, StarCraft, and more. The expansion doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard last year for a hefty $72 billion. This gave Microsoft leverage over some of its major franchises, such as Call […]
