Live Not from BlizzCon | The Grinding Gear Podcast #62 Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

Immediately following the BlizzCon Opening ceremony live watch, Garrett and Kyle take a seat to talk about the hits, misfires and mysteries. It should be no secret that you won't be hearing much about the Overwatch news. Diablo was also limited. The biggest hitter was the Warcraft section which features a Co-op Hearthstone Battlegrounds Mode, and a three expansion plan for the games narrative going forward. The comparisons to Final Fantasy 14 are not lost on us. News will continue to develop over the weekend, so enjoy this hot-off-the-press coverage.

Is Microsoft taking Heroes to Game Pass? Spiderman 2 and Lies of P are on the menu. The new FF14 job got announced at Fanfest and frankly were stoked for different reasons. All this and more.
