In dieser Woche hat der aktuell als Pr\u00e4sident von Blizzard Entertainment fungierende Mike Ybarra einen neuen Blogeintrag auf der offiziellen Internetseite dieses Entwicklerstudios ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Bei diesem Schreiben handelt es sich um einen Jahresr\u00fcckblick auf die vergangenen 12 Monate, der betonen soll, wie viele tolle Sachen die Firma in 2023 mit den Fans teilen konnte. Gleichzeitig nutzt Ybarra das Ganze auch noch daf\u00fcr, um auf das Jahr 2024 vorauszuschauen und einige am\u00fcsante Statistiken zu ver\u00f6ffentlichen.<\/p>\n
Dem Brief des Blizzard-Chefs zufolge wurden in 2023 in WoW und Diablo 4 zusammen \u00fcber 1 Milliarde Charakter erstellt, Razageth war die t\u00f6dlichste Figur in WoW 15.8 Milliarden Packungen in Hearthstone wurden ge\u00f6ffnet. Die vor Kurzem durchgef\u00fchrte Spendensammlung f\u00fcr BlueCheck Ukraine<\/a> war wohl besonders erfolgreich und brachte insgesamt 1.5 Millionen USD zusammen. Ansonsten gibt es wohl an die 150.000 Battle.Net Accounts, die bereits seit mehr als 25 Jahren aktiv sind und aus einer Zeit von vor WoW stammen.<\/p>\n Was den Ausblick auf 2024 betrifft, so bezeichnete Ybarra das Ganze als ein massives Jahr f\u00fcr das Warcraft Universum. Schlie\u00dflich stehen in 2024 mehrere wichtige Meilensteine f\u00fcr verschiedene Titel an und die Entwickler haben eine Reihe von Neuerungen wie The War Within und den Duo-Modus f\u00fcr den Schlachtfeldmodus von Hearthstone geplant. Weitere wichtige Neuerungen sind die erste Erweiterung f\u00fcr Diablo 4, drei neue Helden f\u00fcr Overwatch 2 und einige noch immer unangek\u00fcndigte Projekte, die in 2024 m\u00f6glicherweise endlich ins Rampenlicht gestellt werden.<\/p>\n Hey everyone! It was awesome to see so many of you at BlizzCon 2023 – if you joined us in person or online, thank you for being a part of it! As we head toward the end of 2023, this is a great time to reflect on what has been a massive year of learning, growing, and joy for Blizzard.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Looking back on this year, we had a great focus on putting people at the forefront of everything we do – both players and our teams at Blizzard.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We always say that we want to think of our culture work at Blizzard like the work on our games \u2013 part of who we are. We\u2019re always building and iterating on different initiatives, programs, and more. We believe great ideas are core to Blizzard and should come from anywhere. Earlier this year, we relaunched Blizzard University (or BlizzU, as we like to call it) and introduced Pamela Burga as our new DE&I Officer<\/a>. Together, we hosted hundreds of trainings and events aimed at educating our teams and building our internal communities, totalling in 11,282 sign-ups throughout the year! We launched new employee networks, and brought the Inclusion Nexus back to BlizzCon 2023<\/a>. Our teams working on accessibility continue to inspire, with World of Warcraft continuing to take massive steps forward, and Diablo IV being nominated in the Innovation in Accessibility category at The Game Awards<\/a>. This award recognizes advancements we\u2019ve made with dexterity assistance (including button remapping); text assistance (including transcribing spoken word to chat); vision assistance (with audio cues) among many other areas so we can ensure our games are available and playable to as many people as possible.\u00a0 Within our industry, we are making it a priority to connect with, share, and learn from our peers: at GDC, the 2023 D.I.C.E Summit<\/a>, multiple discipline-specific conferences, and through contributing to important research initiatives like the Design Playbook for Digital Thriving<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, alongside planning for and holding BlizzCon 2023, we have been planning for next year. 2024 is going to be a massive year for the Warcraft universe, with a collection of anniversaries coming up: 30 years since the first Warcraft game, 20 years of World of Warcraft, 10 years of Hearthstone, and the one-year anniversary of Warcraft Rumble! We have some fun activities planned throughout the year to celebrate within all of our communities (and across them!), and we\u2019ll be releasing the first installment of the Worldsoul Saga, The War Within<\/a>. Hearthstone will bring a new way to play Battlegrounds with friends with Duos<\/a>, alongside more incredible themes and mechanics for upcoming expansion sets. Warcraft Rumble <\/a>will roll through seasons, bringing new minis, Raids, and even more ways to have fun in Azeroth on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
