This video is sponsored by Squarespace. [music] >> Hello internet. My name is Talia Essen >> and I'm Evel. >> And Everel, how many days is it until BlizzCon 2026? >> Not enough. >> Before you know it, we're going to be in the Hilton Hotel lobby pulling shapes to the loudest DJ on Earth, drinking beer with our friends, having a good time, and of course, the main event, all the reveals of the opening ceremony. cannot wait. >> It's the second best bit of the whole of Blizzcon.
The first best bit being, of course, the predictions video, which is what we're doing now. Well done. You made it. So, today we're going to be predicting everything to expect from the World of Warcraft announcements at Blizzcon. That means the new expansion, what it's going to have in it, and a whole lot else besides. Not only that, but you can win stuff, too. And >> we've put together this bingo card specifically so that you guys can take part, too.
Basically, when you see all of our predictions on the bingo card, now obviously they're all going to be right, but you pick the row that you think is the most right and we'll definitely get a bingo. If you don't know the rules to bingo, look it up. And then write the row that you think is the most likely to be full of all correct answers. And if you win, if you get a bingo, then you get a special prize. >> Well, you have a chance to get a prize. >> Oh, that's true.
Yeah, you're right. We'll draw from all the winners and there'll be a prize. And if you do win, >> we'll get you the pre- purchase of whatever game is first available for pre- purchase after the opening ceremony. Okay? If that's Last Titan, wow, nice one. If that's Classic Plus, hooray. If that's the new Starcraft game, >> let's tell you everything that's going to be announced at BlizzCon 2026 with the official Blizzcon bingo card.
Okay, go go go. Blizzcon has won the last Titan school. >> So, prediction number one. Okay, what is the main event? Why are we all actually going to BlizzCon? >> I want to hear about The Last Titan. >> Exactly. That's why we've traveled thousands of miles. We're waiting for the proper Last Titan expansion announcement. An expansion announcement is the whole reason you go to Blizzcon. It's the entire point. >> Oh, there's nothing like it. >> It's what all of us are waiting for. >> So, my first prediction is sadly there's going to be no proper Last Titan reveal. >> What?
I'm really sorry, but I've thought about this a lot now, and the more I think about it, the more I realize we're not getting a proper Last Titan reveal. And by that, I mean the usual ritual of a proper expansion reveal at Blizzcon, as in the reveal of the title or whatever. There's a proper cinematic, then there's like a features trailer and they tell us all about it with the new zones and stuff like that. And then later on there's like a deep dive where they go into all the new transmogs and like the baddies and the like the people who live in the zones and stuff like that.
That unfortunately is not going to happen. Um I'm predicting that we're going to get like a teaser trailer. >> Okay. So by teaser trailer, do you remember uh the teaser trailer for Legion? Gul'dan was in like a dark corridor high-res one as well and he got to a big snot bubble and he wiped away the dirt from the front of the snot bubble and it was inside. >> Oh that one. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that one. Yeah. So, I'm suspecting that that will be kind of what we get with Last Titan as well.
That's my prediction. I I think at most you might get like >> a cinematic, but I think we'll probably get like a a little teaser. >> Okay. >> Um and maybe, you know, some glimpses of North and stuff like that, you know. There better be some glimpses of cross something like that, you know. That's that's what I reckon. That's my actual prediction. Okay. That's what I think is going to happen. >> This is a bingo card. We want to give you options.
So, if you disagree with me, we want there to be an option in the bingo card that you can choose instead. So, I'm also putting on the bingo card, but there is a Last Titan full trailer, >> okay? >> And a proper like expansion reveal and like a features trailer and stuff like that. So, I don't think that's going to happen sadly. >> Why don't you think we're going to get that though? >> I just think it's too soon. >> Yeah.
Midnight was revealed 6 months before it launched and that just seems to be that the time frame that we're kind of working on these days, you know, with 18month expansions. We haven't had a 12.2 reveal yet. Uh we don't know how the expansion is going to end. I think we're looking at a kind of a January, February reveal. I will happily be wrong. I will happily eat [ __ ] I would Oh my god, I gobble that [ __ ] up, Evie.
Honestly, I would give anything to be wrong. I would I it would be the happiest I've ever been to be wrong. Except when I thought you might say no to going out with me. >> Sadly, I think you probably are right. Like, as much as I want to see The Last Titan in full, we just don't know enough about what's coming like in the immediate like future patches, right? >> Exactly. Yeah. So, everyone will be sad, but that will be mitigated a little bit, of course, by the fact that all of this bad news will BE DELIVERED BY CHRIS METSON. >> SO, that'll cheer you up, won't it? >> This is basically a free space for everyone.
No, I don't think it is. You see, BECAUSE THERE'S QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE in the community that seem to think that Chris Medson is in Timbuktu or something or on the moon or he basically came into work one day at the beginning and said, "I'm back." And then left like gone for milk. No one's seen him since. But I I think that's wrong. I think he is heavily involved all the time. And I think they'll definitely absolutely, if nothing else, wheel him on for Blizzcon.
Uh World of Warcraft retail specifically. >> You say wheel him on, he's going to be leaping and bounding. We we'll be eating that tiny bit of nonreveal out of his hand. >> Okay. So, if we don't have Last Titan or lots of Last Titan, what can we expect to see? >> Well, I think the the retail uh reveals will probably focus on 12.2. >> I mean, probably a little bit of 12517 as well to be honest, but 12.2, you know, the the reveal of the last major patch of the expansion.
So, then everything is free to kind of like go on to Last Titan, >> you know, in the future. >> Yeah. And I think 12.2 will be the callway. I think uh it will be in the center of Azeroth. I say callway, we'll get to the end of the callway, whatever it is. And it will be the the prison where Azeroth is surrounding area. You know, all the void and and Zali and all her buddies will be there and they'll all be camped out and you know, we'll be fighting and we the raid will be like, you know, saving the world soul and stuff like that.
And yeah, we'll talk >> saving the world soul. >> Totally. And we'll talk more about what details of all that will be revealed and and the Last Titan as well cuz I think there will be details revealed about Last Titan a little bit further on in the video. But obviously not just retail that gets revealed here. And sadly I think retail will not for a change be the main event. >> Doesn't [clears throat] seem like it, is it? >> No.
I think for many people the main event is going to be Classic Plus. >> Um and that's definitely getting revealed. That's like a free space. But there are I've got two spaces for Classic Plus reveals. And one of them is that the Fables leak is false. You sent me the Fables leak, so I know you know what that is. >> I did. You mean the entire leak itself, the schedule leak? >> Yeah. Well, but specifically like Classic Plus was referred to as Fables there.
And obviously the name Fables is very suggestive of what Classic Plus might entail and what it >> fantastical stories. >> What suggest like Yeah. like alternate timeline stories, kind of whatifs, like stories from WoW's past, stuff like that. And that might well be the case. That might well be what Classic Plus is. Although I don't think that's what people [laughter] I don't think that's what people want. I think the Fables leak is false.
I don't think it's called Fables. That's my prediction about Classic Plus. That's my proper prediction. But like I say, this is a bingo card. So, actually, I've also got on the bingo CARD. THE FABLES LEAK IS REAL. >> OH, NO. Wait a second. >> So, I mean, it's up to you, isn't it? >> This is good. You're giving the people the options. I appreciate this because I know some people think that leak is absolutely real. >> Oh, yeah.
It being false is my proper prediction. I do have one other prediction about the Classic Plus reveal. >> Okay, >> Arthus. Oh, I think in the reveal of Classic Plus, he will just feature some way. And I think like even if it's just a little tease at the end of the trailer or something, >> Arthus will be in the Classic Plus reveal in some way. >> Okay. >> Okay. Cuz I think I think he'll be part of Classic Plus at some point, even if they're just teasing him for the future. >> Okay.
He is a hot commodity. He is famously >> the one thing that they will never let go of. So, >> I think the existence of Classic Plus in the first place is like the ultimate form of fan service. So if that's what you're doing, you might as well service it up the woo like fan service your fan service and put Arthus in there as well. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing by any means. I think that's awesome actually. >> Nice.
I could see it. >> Now, like I said, we're going to get into the details of like these game reveals a little bit later on. But just to to carry on with the opening ceremony and the the things that will be revealed, my next prediction is Warcraft TV show. >> You just throwing that one in there so casually. I've been predicting this for a long time. >> This is huge. So, do you think it's actually time? >> I do and I know you do as well. >> I actually think it's going to happen.
I think it's time. This is part of like kind of my wider theory of like the crossoveriness of everything which is happening right now >> which you get in like every single game and every single show and every single like media IP. It's always like this x this this times this. Yeah. >> And I feel like a Warcraft Times Netflix >> Diablo I and Overwatch is where they mostly do that, right? Something I haven't gone here, but yeah, there's bound to be some absolutely bonkers crossover for Overwatch and possibly for Diablo I revealed as well.
BBC News Night crossover with Diablo I. [laughter] Anyway, I think it's finally time for World of Warcraft TV show. I think the proof of concept has been there with uh a number of kind of cinematics that they've been putting out for the last couple of expansions. You had all the Aaria ones, the animated ones. Yeah, the animator, the ones that look like a Saturday morning cartoons, the Amazon Prime Western anime look. >> Castlevania, Critical Role, >> that's definitely what they've been going for with those animations.
And I feel like that's the reason. I've never predicted a WoW TV show in a Blizzcon predictions video before, but this is it. This is the year it happens. >> Wait, so you're telling me it's not going to be like a live action with Henry Cavill playing a starring role? >> No, Henry Cavil is not old enough to play Arthus yet. Uh [laughter] because Henry Cavville is only 90 years old, we need to wait in until Henry Cavil is 105 years old and only then will have the gravitas required to play the 20-year-old Arthur.
Now, I have no idea what the animation is going to be about. I have no What What do you think the TV show would be about? >> Oh my god. I mean, in my mind, it's always been like basically Vox Machina, like a kind of D&D style adventuring party. >> So, you think it' be new stories? >> New stories. Exactly. Set in the Warcraft universe. Mhm. >> But new characters with some cameos. >> That'd be awesome. That's what I want.
I'm in. >> Yeah. That's not what they're going to do. >> They can do Arthus. [laughter] >> Either way, Warcraft TV show. That's my prediction. Um, now we're going to move off of Warcraft just for a moment, just while we're here, cuz of course there is going to be a Starcraft game announced as well, a new Starcraft game. There are two options for the Starcraft game. The best case scenario would be Starcraft 4. That's not going to happen.
Worst case scenario is Starcraft mobile game. >> Oh no. >> Listen, >> how dare you put this on me? >> I don't think this is going to happen. This is not my prediction, but I have heard through the grapevine from sources >> that I might not like the Starcraft game. >> You specifically might not like me. I mean, me Talen might not like the Starcraft. >> Might not like it, but you specifically. >> I'm like Well, I've been thinking how why would I not like it?
I I'm trying to imagine cuz like Starcraft's great, man. The only way I wouldn't like it is if it was a mobile game. >> What if it's a Starcraft game about Arthus? [laughter] >> It would sell more copies. Darthus, like it would be amazing. Um, I don't think it will be a Starcraft mobile game, but I can't shake the feeling. >> Please, God, no. >> I'm just putting it there as an option. Okay, people can choose it if they want.
I think I'm going to go with what everyone else is predicting for the Starcraft game. I'm gonna go for Starcraft extraction shooter. Third or first person extraction shooter or horde shooter like uh Space Marine 2 like Hell Divers. Get in there. Boom. Boom. Boom. It's about time. [laughter] >> Awesome. Fantastic. >> Uh I think that's extremely likely. We've done what I think the main announcements will be, but it's time to go back to those World of Warcraft retail announcements and get into the weeds and make some predictions about what I think we will see specifically during those announcements.
So, I've said I think we're going to get a 12.2 reveal. And I'm predicting that as part of that reveal, we will get >> Zal's true form. >> Oh, >> what she will look like as the final boss or something like that. Right. Her big Eldrich horror. This is what I have become. Many arms, many legs, hopefully many mouths, >> many feet. >> Yeah, exactly. A big void monster, right? >> Yeah. Okay. >> I'm hoping so. Anyway, >> this hinges on the idea that we will see Zalat's true form in midnight and that we will fight her in midnight and not in the last tit.
You think you think midnight it will be the end of her story. >> She is not a going concern after midnight. Either she dies or she becomes like something like an ally or something like that. Either way, Zalatatha as antagonist story line is over at the end of midnight. >> I mean, it feels like it's over already. [laughter] >> Shh. >> Sorry. >> Stop it. >> Sorry. >> I predict we will see Azeroth form revealed. Now, whether this be part of the 12.2 reveal or the last Titan reveal, we will get a glimpse of Azeroth's form. >> Okay. >> Like as as like a humanoid or an avatar or [laughter] I hope it's not an Avatar because if it was an avatar, I'd be a winner. >> I know.
Well, that's the thing >> and we don't want that. But I'm hoping that she'll appear as like a a her own kind of humanoid, right? >> Will we see her manifestation born out of Azeroth just popping out? >> Yeah, I think we will. Yeah. >> Okay. I would be cool if she I think she'll just like appear next to Azeroth and like she'll be big, but then she'll be small and we'll hang out with her. She'll be our friend. >> Do you think she definitely has to have like an embodied form or is she going to be more like Well, either way, style.
Yeah. But a form that isn't just the glowy ball that we're used to. That's what that's my prediction, right? Okay. So, I think we'll see that. And for things that I think we will see in these retail reveals, I think >> Yeah, >> it worked for Legion. >> Wheel him back out. >> We know that Ilan is in Last Titan. >> Oh, we do. >> Think about it, right? You're Chris Metson. >> Yeah. >> You've got absolutely [ __ ] all to reveal about Last Titan. >> You know everyone's going to be upset with you.
You know, everyone's gonna be sad and you're like, "Well, what can I give them that's gonna make them a little bit less sad that still doesn't actually reveal anything that hasn't been revealed already? >> Show them some Illan." >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Bring out the big beloved ones. >> I think so. And so, I'm predicting Illan as a real kind of Please don't be angry with us. Look, Ian, >> here's an important question. Will he have a new variation on his model? >> No, I don't think I actually won't update his model cuz that dude, he hasn't showered since we last seen him.
What are you talking about? No, he's just been like proddding Sargeras like his wings whacked. >> Is this annoying? Is this annoying? >> I just mean like is he going to have like a slightly ch like has he changed his clothes? >> Yeah, sure, man. He's gone from having a 24 pack to having 28 [laughter] pack >> because because working on his core there's less gravity up there. Way more ab maxed to the nines. As far as like visual things that we might see in those reveals, that's my predictions.
As far as like kind of features and stuff as well, it's tough, isn't it? because usually I'm predicting a whole expansion reveal so I can I can talk about what I think will be in that new expansion. I'm not sure how much in terms of features and stuff they're going to reveal for Last Titan, but I'll throw some in there more out of hope than conviction really, but something I definitely think will be revealed as part of all of the uh the opening ceremony.
BFA remix. >> Ah, well, I think there's definitely going to be a remix. Yeah. And you think it's going to be BFA? >> I think it'll be BFA. What do you think it's going to be? It's probably not going to be Wad, is it? >> No, >> it's probably not going to be Shadowlands, is it? >> Well, no. I think BFA is the only one that would not make people be a little bit sick in their mouths. I think the world is not ready for Shadowlands remix yet. >> I don't think the world is ready.
I think the world will be ready. Give it some time. >> Oh, yeah, sure, man. People will be ready, just not right now. >> The wheel is turning. >> I agree. People really want a WAD remix, but they they have a very specific criteria and condition. They're like, "Yeah, give us a Rod WAD remix so that you can add in the missing patch, >> the the fabled missing Shatrath raid." That raid doesn't exist, so they have to make it.
You don't do raids properly in remix anyway, do you? Just blast them. So, what's the point? Like, it's a whole lot of work for absolutely no reason. Um, so I think it's going to be BFA. >> It's a It's a perfect remix. >> It makes sense. and and it gives them the chance to drop like a BFA remix trailer using the BFA cinematic, which was like probably the best BlizzCon drop I've ever experienced. Seeing the BFA trailer was nuts. >> It happened after the classic reveal.
Like, WoW Classic came on and people went absolutely nuts. And then, people don't believe this, but I was there. I saw it. The BFA trailer dropped and people went even more nuts. It was insane. It was insane. I've never seen anything like it. people on their chairs. People were [ __ ] pissing, crying, coming. It was like wild. It was like the last days of Rome, Sodom. It was incredible. I loved it. >> Let's do it all again. >> Yeah.
For the BFA remix. Let's do it. Sure. So, I think BFA remix is one of the things that will be revealed. I predict >> Paladins for all. >> Oh, feels like the kind of thing they might chuck in at the end of Midnight, right? So, it could be part of a 12.2 thing and like Paladins for All. Every race can be Paladins. >> Oh, okay. That's cool. And that's in line with things that we kind of heard about, you know, we are all here for the light.
We have been summoned by the light. >> Okay. A housing prediction. Yes. >> Do you have a housing prediction? >> I think there will be housing announcements. >> Wow. Wow. Are you sure? >> I I mean, what I want from housing is I want a new neighborhood, >> right? Really? You don't like your neighborhood now? >> I love my neighborhood, but I would like a third option. >> Really? I would love a third. >> I'm over the idea of a new neighborhood if I'm completely honest.
Really? >> Yeah. I feel like I would have wanted it before. >> Okay. >> I would have listed it as one of the things I want about housing, but actually no. I'm just down with the two neighborhoods. I think they're cool. >> Okay, that's fair. So, what do you think we are going to hear from my bingo? I didn't put some housing news on my on my bingo card. I like to be a bit more specific than that. So, what I put instead >> like when you put Metsson on there, >> that's very specific. >> I'm predicting town halls.
Town halls guild halls. >> It's time. >> That's a big feature. We know it's in the pipeline. We know it it could be kind of revealed at any time. And it feels like the kind of thing they might hold on to Blizzcon to announce cuz it's a big deal, right? Those kind of work sites in the neighborhoods, those construction sites, they they got a bit bigger in 12.1, >> they got added to. They're not just kind of foundations anymore.
They're starting to build some walls and stuff. And I think Yeah, I think guild halls, town halls, like a shared space. >> Yeah, cuz at first I was like, "No, they're just going to drop them. It's just going to happen." But I think they would announce them at Blizzcon and then be like, "Next time you log on your PC." >> Yeah. Yeah. They want to say agree. Yeah, definitely. They're going to want a big housing peg, aren't they?
And we all love a peg. So, I I think it will be that. That's That's my prediction anyway. >> I like your prediction and I agree with you. >> Uh, another thing that I think will be revealed as upcoming content will be the spooky game mode. >> I mean, this has been promised for how many years now? >> What? Since Boston. So, one one and a half years ago. >> One year. Yeah. >> Yeah. And so everyone was predicting it. It looked a bit spooky.
Everyone was predicting to be like a November Halloween thing. They probably thought it would be as well. For some reason that didn't happen. Saving it until this November straight after BlizzCon 12.15 or 7 feature, whatever it is. That kind of like new game mode. Allah >> Plundtorm. Yeah. >> None of these are particularly exciting, are they? Cuz they're all kind of 12.2 based really. So, let's get into the good stuff.
Okay. >> Let's get into my predictions for Last Titan. If you are thinking about making a website, I've got three reasons Squarespace makes it considerably less terrifying than it sounds.

That's squarespace.com/taliasel. Now, whether these are announced with Last Titan in Blizzcon, like I say, it's kind of touch and go. If there's a full reveal, yes, I predict all these things will be in it. If it's not a full reveal, who knows, right? It's funny cuz I was looking at our 2003 bingo card, which was the last BlizzCon, and I was actually struck strucken strict by how many things we predicted that weren't actually revealed at that BlizzCon, but were revealed within like six months of BlizzCon. stuff like housing, stuff like uh trading post stuff.
I was actually quite amazed going through it. I was like, well, if you just do Blizzcon, this wasn't a very good bingo card, but actually there's loads of stuff on this bingo card that did happen very soon afterwards. Maybe some of these predictions will fall into that category, but here here they go. So, I'm predicting for Last Titan, multiple new specializations for existing classes. Really, >> I'm working on a whole video about this and why it's a dumb idea.
I'm sounding quite down on some predictions, but I am predicting it. I think there's going to be no new playable class. >> Okay. >> In Last Titan, I think they're going to lean very heavily into new specializations for existing classes. So, on the plus side, that means you're probably going to get a shaman tank. >> Okay, nice. >> Brilliant. Everyone's going [clears throat] to be very happy about that. Fantastic. On the downside, every other spec, which is going to suck.
If we're really unlucky, we'll get the hunter healing spec. >> Oh, stop it. >> That could happen. >> I Stop it. >> If we're really unlucky, we'll get the barred rogue spec cuz it does kind of sort of fit with the rogue identity and that rules barred out of actual playable class contention forever then. How dare you even put that into the world? >> That's the worst case scenario. But I think I would predict that there's going to be at least eight new playable specs because it's easier than doing a a playable class.
They could give every single class in the game a new spec. >> So 13 new specs. That would be easier than making a one new class with like three specs. You know, you're probably right. >> And I think at some point in some meetings somewhere someone said, "Hey, like the allied race version of playable classes." >> That's the worst thing I've ever heard. >> Playable class version of allied races. I guess that thing which like we can put more in because there's not so much framework we have to make to go with it.
Right. I think that's what they're going to do. >> That is so disappointing. >> I know. I'm sorry. >> And I'm going to disagree with you just out of pure hope. >> Pure hopeium. >> So, you think there will be a new playable class? >> Yes. >> Well, good news cuz I've also predicted a new playable class >> to give people options. In fact, I predicted two. Now, I don't think both will happen, but on the off chance that there is a new playable class, what would you go for? >> Oh, it's got to be Bard.
Yeah, that's >> the Radiant song. >> I've put Bard in. >> It's got to be Bard. >> If you'd asked me a year ago, two years ago, if I thought Bards would ever find their way into World of Warcraft, I'd have told you to shut the f up, you [ __ ] You [ __ ] you idiot. But the idea of them harnessing the Radiance song, I think it's so perfect. >> It's so good. >> It's appropriate to the law happening at the moment and the story happening in the moment, it explains so eloquently why there have never been bars before.
[laughter] You don't have to do what you do with the vocas or or whatever and be like, "Oh, I can't believe they were locked under the ground for 10,000 years. That's why you've never seen them before." No, you just go, "Wow, people are hearing the radiant song." >> It activates something. >> Exactly. And they're working out that they can harness it with with like uh focuses that are instruments and and do all kinds of magic and you can, you know, it writes itself.
So, bs putting those in there. But, of course, there's another class that we've been predicting like forever since before Shadowlands. >> Mhm. The tinker. >> Yeah. So, I put that in there as well because I know lots of people will want me to Hey, it's just so easy. >> I feel like it's too late. >> Uh, no, never too late. It doesn't make sense. So, like the problem is the problem that WoW have with their playable classes is recently they do this with their playable races as well.
They won't just give us an old thing. They won't give us what we want, which is like Tuscar or ogres or whatever. They'll feel the need to invent a whole new race to put in as a playable race. and it just doesn't have the kind of cache, you know, doesn't have the kind of draw to players that an older race has that already exists in game. You know, it's like once you're over the excitement of how many cool new customization options they've got and stuff, you're like, well, okay, but I don't have that link to this race like I do with the older races and stuff like that.
And I think they have the same problem with classes as well with the case of Evoker. Whereas Tinker avoids that completely. Like Tinker, it's been in the game. It's represented in game since forever. It would feel like a wow thing. It just slots in so perfectly. The rules write themselves. Obvious healing spec, obvious DPS spec, melee or ranged, obvious tank spec, obvious like cool customizations you could put in as well for like design your mech and stuff like that. >> And I guess the link with kind of like Titan technology, there's going to, you know, if we're going back to North Friend and all that, then yeah, there could be something.
I'd like them to lean more into the steampunk thing that's always been in WoW kind of gyro stuff and the like all that I just think >> 100% there's going to be a playable class. I'm leaning more towards Bards. >> I really hope there's a playable class. If there isn't a new playable class in Last Titan, it will be the longest gap we've ever had of expansions without a playable class. >> Good point. >> And nobody wants that. >> It is time. >> Yeah, it's such an easy win.
Come on. It's not easy. It's like really hard takes work. That's why they [laughter] do it all the time. But I think it's worth it. Put that work in. Spend that money. Now, I've got a couple predictions now that I'm going to count as a win whether they're announced for retail or for classic. >> Oh, >> okay. Playable Tuska. >> No. In Oh, no. You're right. Actually, my retail brain went, "No, >> but my classic brain." >> I think this is more likely to happen in retail. >> Really? >> Yeah.
All the way through Dragonfly. Obviously, the Tuscar were a major thing in Dragon Flight, right? They had their own zone in Dragonfly. So I was like if we don't get playable Tuscar now we are never getting playable Tuscar ain't never happening and you know Dragon came and went no playable Tuscar and I cried in a little corner and I'm sorry >> everyone no playable Tuscar and then >> the World Soul saga was announced with North being the setting of Last Titan and suddenly playable Tuscar are back on the table rather unexpectedly.
So I now am I'm am back where I was with Dragonfly where I'm like if playable Tuscar don't happen in Last Titan. [laughter] They're never happening. So it needs to be now. >> I love the sentiment. I don't think it's going to happen. >> So here's another one that I think could happen, but this one more weighted towards Classic Plus. Playable ogres. >> I think Classic Plus are going to get playable ogres. >> I think that's more likely than Tescar.
If I was making Classic Plus, that'd be the first thing I would do, literally. >> But then, do they come into retail as well? >> For the large part, I think retail players are like, "Classic Plus can have whatever they want and vice versa." And isn't that brilliant? That's brilliant. Like, great games doing different things. >> Absolutely. >> They can put raids in. They can make new continents and content and dungeons and stuff for Classic Plus.
And no one's going to mind on the retail side. That'd be like, "Good for them. Oh, that looks awesome. Yeah, that looks really cool. Maybe I'll give it a go. Maybe I'll give it a But with playable races, I think that's the line. I think if Classic Plus get playable races that people have always wanted in retail and retail don't get them as well, I get the feeling that's going to be the thing that makes people go, "Hang on, that's a bit shit." Like as well.
Yeah, totally. Just press the button. Just drag and drop. >> Poppy page. >> Yeah, exactly. We want those playable ogres, right? I think it could happen. >> I like this. I think this is more likely than Tuscar. I'm >> Well, I think it is as well, actually, to be honest. I I'm going to I'm going to give it a thumbs up from me. >> Okay. Oh, okay. Right. Oh, okay. My next prediction. >> Class skins. Now, this is just more hope than anything else, really. >> You You mean just like, you know, the option to cosmetically change your your class based on a theme and change spell effects and look and feel. >> It's an idea we've been putting out there for a long time, not just us, but the whole community, but we did a a very wellreceived video about it years ago, like during BFA, right?
Long time ago. idea where and you could do it with the glyph system as well. This idea where you can choose for certain class race combinations for your spells to appear differently. So the very obvious one would be if you're a light forged eye and you're a shadow priest, all your shadow spells should appear as like light spells because it's silly that a light forged would be using shadow spells, right? If you are a culturan shaman, you should be a tide sage and all of your spells should appear water spells.
I think there's like absolutely room for like if you dual wield as a Wargan, you should have an option to just use your claws instead of seeing the weapons, stuff like that. >> But you should Yeah, you should have the option. >> The option. Yeah. Yeah. If you're a night elf priest, you should have the option to have all of your uh spell effects appear astral and kind of moon themed, right? We did pitch this idea in Gamescom last year to a a very important WoW dev who never heard of the idea, never considered it, and they appeared to like the idea.
They did. >> So, I don't know. >> Perhaps they were just being nice. >> They were definitely just being nice. But I do think they genuinely seem to like the idea. Look, I'm not, like I say, this is more hope than I've been throwing this out there, never properly predicting it, but hoping for it. >> I'm trying to manifest it, okay, for such a long time now. Yeah, >> that's a nice way of putting it. >> And for the last square, I make a prediction that the the player hub in Last Titan is going to be Grizzly Hills.
Oh, >> Grizzly Hills Player Hub. Like main main player hub. Grizzly Hills. You don't sound convinced. >> You mean it's just like a new settlement in Grizzly Hills. >> New Town and Grizzly Hills. >> Yeah. Like all logs and nice things and water flumes and chop chop noises. The most exquisite music you've ever heard in your entire life and like ss and like nice flowers and stuff like that. Do you think that's going to be epic enough for for The Last Titan for this conclusion to the World Soul Saga? >> Well, I don't think it's very epic, but I do think it will make them a trillion dollars.
And the new player hub, Grizzly Hills. Everyone's like, "Oh, yeah." And so, there it is. My BlizzCon 2026 World of Warcraft and some other things prediction card. What do you think? >> I think it's pretty good. >> Anything that isn't on there that you would add? >> Uh, yes. I think there's definitely gonna be some stuff uh some more info being dropped about the D&D crossover. >> Oh, right. Yeah, I think so, too. >> I think it's definitely happening to the point where I think they're going to have like a panel of all the voice actors and performers who are doing like the DND. >> No, not a one shot because they are doing a proper like live play on the D&D channel.
Okay. >> I think they're literally just going to bring out all the actors. Cool. Okay. >> Just just for people to enjoy >> so we can look at them >> just before crossover basically. Y >> So now it's time Evie for you to choose which row you think is going to be the winner. I'm going to choose a row as well. >> Okay. >> Uh and you know we'll see who out of us is the winner. >> Oo >> and who has to like get the prize, you know, who has to give the prize. >> Which line are you going to plump for? >> Okay.
Uh, I'm going to go for row B. Actually, can I change my choice? >> Yes, >> I've changed it to H. >> I was going to go for H. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Um, so Fables Leak False, Warcraft TV show. >> I have to include the Warcraft TV show for all 12.2 Coreway and Zal's True Form. I That's what I was going to choose. >> You can still choose. >> No, because then there won't be a winner and a loser. >> Okay. >> So, I just want it to be known that that was going to be my row that I was going to choose.
But instead, I'll take your row. I'll go B. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'll go I'll go a little cuz I think that's the second most likely, right? But who knows? We could all be completely wrong. Let us know which row you think is the best in the comments below. We will find all of the winners after BlizzCon and we'll put you in the draw for an amazing prize. The first game to go into early access purchase after BlizzCon, we will buy for you.
What do you think about that? E, pretty cool. Good prize. We think it's probably a good prize. >> It's probably a good one. >> Could be the Starcraft mobile.
