Are You Ready For the Diablo Anniversary Next Week?

Next week begins the celebration of Blizzard's Diablo 20th Anniversary and Hearthstone players are invited to join in with our Diabolical Powers.

A post on the official Diablo website touched upon all the happenings across all of Blizzard's titles and was the first time Blizzard has acknowledged the previously datamined "Dark Wanderer Tavern Brawl". As noted in our datamining, the brawl is set to launch next week which means we won't be seeing yet-another-repeat-brawl.

The brawl is littered with a trove of secrets, The Cow King himself, and so many Hell Bovines that we've lost count. Oh and of course, get ready because we're going to get to add a new card back to our collection!

If you're into spoilers, go check out the full card list for the brawl and strap yourselves in for some great fun next week.

• For those Warcraft fans, MMO-Champion has details on the WoW event for the anniversary.
• If you're into Diablo III, Diablo Fans has some info from BlizzCon on the events taking place there.

Quote from Blizzard

As we approach the original game’s release anniversary on December 31, Blizzard Entertainment is thrilled to commemorate twenty years of Diablo. We’re ready to celebrate our passion for the world of Sanctuary and the brave heroes who inhabit it!

Starting soon, you can experience special in-game events and goodies in Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Overwatch, StarCraft II, and World of Warcraft to celebrate a few of the things we love about Diablo. These events and items will only be available for a limited time, so be sure to check them all out before they’re gone.

A small taste of each tribute is below—keep an eye out for more details about these celebrations. . . and thank you, all of you, for allowing us to continue adventuring in the world of Sanctuary. Here’s to twenty years of loot!
