Patch 7.2.5 is just around the corner! Blizzard has now confirmed the patch will launch next week, on Tuesday, June 13 (or Wednesday, June 14 for European realms).
Though we don't expect to hear anything from Blizzard at gaming mega-event E3, Gamescom in Europe has become a regular stop for the team — and the company is heading back this year.
We know we told you this yesterday, but Overwatch's double XP weekend has begun and runs through Monday. Get leveling, people!
We have a Running of the Gnomes event to benefit breast cancer research, and now we have a Running of the Trolls event to benefit the Trevor Project. The event is this Sunday, June 10, so roll a Troll on Feathermoon or Scarlet Crusade (both NA) to join the run or, if you can't make it, donate directly to the cause.
