Blizzard has announced the Cataclysm expansion for Hearthstone, set to launch on March 17, 2026, featuring the return of Colossals and new mechanics inspired by World of Warcraft. The company clarified there will be no Hearthstone sequel at BlizzCon 2026, but teased a major update instead. Executives also discussed potential console ports under Microsoft ownership, though none are imminent.
Blizzard Entertainment has introduced a new exterior option for player housing in World of Warcraft: Midnight, priced at $40 in real money. The cosmetic item, a magical treehouse available in spring green or cherry blossom pink, marks the first such addition since the expansion's launch. Players must purchase 4000 Hearthsteel currency through the in-game shop to obtain it.

Blizzard Entertainment has apologized to World of Warcraft players for the troubled launch of patch 12.0.5 earlier this week. The company acknowledged that the update fell short of its standards and disrupted gameplay. Blizzard pledged to improve communication and prevent future issues.
After 21 years, World of Warcraft is finally introducing player housing with an early-access launch on December 2, 2025, for those who preorder the Midnight expansion. The feature allows easy access to customizable homes for 1,000 gold, with no scarcity or competition. Blizzard aims to avoid past pitfalls like the isolating Garrisons while addressing concerns over a new premium currency.

Blizzard has officially confirmed the introduction of a new premium currency called Hearthsteel in World of Warcraft, designed specifically for purchasing housing items in the upcoming Midnight expansion. The currency aims to make acquiring multiple cosmetic items more efficient, according to the developer. Player reactions have been largely negative, viewing it as an unnecessary monetization tactic.
