Gaming News From Around The Globe

E3 2018

So much was announced at E3 this year and a lot of it included major titles from all the biggest companies such as Sony, Microsoft, Bethesda, and Nintendo. In this edition of Gaming News From Around the Globe I will cover a lot of what was announced but mostly by the major companies. Below will be a breakdown of the biggest news from the four major companies, Bethesda, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft. There was stuff announced outside of these 4 big names but for the sake of keeping this Report not a novel I will be leaving the "smaller" announcements out. And I definitely say "smaller" loosely because I am sure some people might think what I don't include might be their biggest highlight of E3.

WoW Classic will be on 1.12

Outside of E3 this was one of the biggest pieces of news we got out of our beloved Blizzard this week. Blizzard announced that WoW Classic will be set in patch 1.12 "Drums of War". This was chosen "because it represents the most complete version of the classic experience." 1.12 was the final patch in Vanilla which means it will include every raid up until BC right off the bat. Now the fact that they are setting it so late could also signify that they will eventually grow the Classic version into a BC server. I only say this because of the success that Everquest had with this system and their legacy servers. Outside of that, its all speculation. We will find out more at Blizzcon for sure.
