The WoW Token is up on the PTR! We discuss the article we made on it, how much do we think it'll cost, how much do we think it'll sell for in-game, and more!

We have released a ton of guides for updated content since patch 6.1 released, and as promised, they're all linked here:

Beta Coming Fall 2015: Closed beta will begin in Fall 2015, and you can sign up for beta on PlayOverwatch.com!

New Hero: Zarya - Overwatch announced a new hero - a musclebound Russian weightlifter who re-enlisted with the Russian army to fight the Omnium with a particle cannon she ripped off the side of a truck.

New Hero: McCree - Overwatch's other new hero was bounty hunter cowboy McCree - he'd been part of Overwatch's Black Watch before the organisation fell apart and now survives as a soldier of fortune.

New Map: Watchpoint Gibraltar - carved out of the centuries old strategic point, the Rock of Gibraltar, this ex-Overwatch base is now inhabited by Winston, the gorilla tank, as he tries to reactivate the communication array within.

Developer Q&A: Our sister site Overking was invited to a developer Q&A and gameplay session shortly before PAX, and you can read all the questions and answers!

Heroes of the Storm

New Hero: Sylvanas - Sylvanas Windrunner has at last been added to Heroes of the Storm! She's a Specialist, with a lot of abilities that allow her to clear minion waves and mercs while also having high burst damage.

New Battleground: Tomb of the Spider Queen - This new map is an underground location, it's very small and the lanes are very close together. You'll be collecting gems from spiders and using them to summon Spider Queens!

Upcoming Features: There were several upcoming features announced, including an improved score screen after the game, and the option to mute all allies if your team are being terrible in chat. There's much more too, so check out Heroking's post!

eSports College League: Heroes of the Dorm - Blizzard has partnered with ESPN, and is setting up a way for college students in the US and Canada to enter tournaments with teams of 5. The winning team will all receive tuition fees paid for their college career!

There's a ton of other great info so do check out Heroking's full post!

Hearthstone

New Adventure Mode: Blackrock Mountain - The newest Hearthstone adventure, will be released next month with 5 wings, 17 bosses, and 31 new cards!

Blackrock Mountain: Pricing - The Adventure, like Curse of Naxxramas, will be released in wings, but the pricing structure works a little differently. You can buy all five wings for $24.99. If you purchase individual wings for $6.99, you can then purchase the remaining wings for a discounted price. Check out Hearthhead's post for more details!

New Cards - Blizzard revealed several new cards at the panel, and we've added them to our Hearthstone Deck Builder so you can start building and sharing decks using these new cards! They're definitely harking back to the early WoW instances of the same name!

Blackrock Mountain Adventure Preview: Coren Direbrew - While at PAX east, we were able to play through one of the Blackrock Mountain boss encounters - Coren Direbrew. HamletEJ summarised the event, and you can read his post on Hearthhead!
