Surprising rumors from inside Blizzard

[Gogan]

Interesting post over on Massively:

An anonymous source from inside the company has apparently claimed that World of Warcraft's next expansion has quadrupled its art outsourcing and is nearly feature-complete. The source also claimed that Hearthstone is doing banner business, with its next expansion set to release in April with a heavier PvE focus.

Darker news was revealed for the other franchises under the company's banner. The next part of StarCraft II is done but with no release date. Overwatch is in the midst of debates over business model and payment plans, with the studio pushing for a 2015 release but most likely going for 2016. Meanwhile, Heroes of the Storm has low expectations among the upper management and the Diablo III team has been "completely gutted." It's up to you you believe the rumors, of course, although come April, they might look rather plausible.

Don't really understand how a Hearthstone expansion could have a PvE focus. Maybe something along the lines of Naxx? And an April release date seems insanely soon after GvG.

Waiting until 2016 for Overwatch would be disappointing. Too bad about D3 too. Sounds like it's been the worst team to be on inside Blizz... constantly undergoing huge turnover.

Sucks that SC2:LotV is taking so long, but given how huge the changes are, I could understand why they might be nervous releasing it. It's going to totally change the SC2 e-sports scene. Maybe it'll be good, maybe not. Seems like a big gamble.
