For Hearthstone: The new expansion willl be Deadmines, releaase date for late december and show a buch of cards
For WoW: The final patch for Legion and a new expansion, possibly themend arround the Black Empire (Old Gods)
For Heroes of the Storm: Two new Heroes reveal and at least two new maps reveal. i hope they speak something about revamp the reconect system and quik play.
For Overwatch: A new hero and map
I have no idea if they`ll do something with Diablo and Starcraft, but I would also love to see a new IP like Overwatch, that would be the nest surprise.
Release date should be early December following all the previous winter expansion's release date. Usually the time span between expansion announcement and release date is roughly a month, except for OldGods (which took almost 2 months of wait).
Treasure hunting expansion in a Mountain, mine etc.
All different races searching for this amazing treasure. (pirates, demons, humans,, beasts etc)
each class with have a treasure which is a Legendary card.
Or maybe a deck that doesn't force you to play this game.
Expansion Theme: Nautical Themed (Pirates, Krakens, Treasure, etc.)
Mechanic: A keyword that is used to get an extra bonus on a card. Example: 3 Mana 3/3 Treasure(2): Draw a card (You collect the treasure by playing cards that add to your total via spells, other minions, or other aspects on the battlefield).
Additions: Dual class becoming a permanent option in Arena.
Expecting some incredible new mechanic that will be the main reveal and everyone's gonna hype it up until we eventually realize that it's not even good when compared to all the other cards that are going to be revealed afterwards.
Also I expect us to have to wait for like 3 weeks or somethign until the ccard reveals start, because that always made sense, right?
If this expansion follows the trends of the last two, it'll introduce a new build around card for each class, push niche mechanics in each class ( it will fail for all but one, maybe two), and attempt to give both aggro and control support cards so both archetypes can be relevant in a healthy way (and it will fail entirely, but such is the nature of aggro).
If nothing else, it's gonna condense card text into a keyword, like Poisonous and Lifesteal. Probably the Faerie Dragon effect, since it's the only one that really comes to mind (and has been around for quite some time, to boot).
Predictions? Red shirt guy will have a question.
Deadmine Expansion
Pirates everywhere, my PTSD is triggered.
Marin the Fox: "Battlecry: Your Fiery War Axes cost (1) less this game".
