  • A new World of Warcraft mount, an interview with developers that gives us more insight

  • about pet battles, Titan gets delayed til 2016, new Hearthstone cards unveiled, and

  • stick around to the end to find out how to win a 60-day WoW game time card from us!  Hey

  • guys, Jess here, and this is Blizzard News, brought to you by Curse and MMO-Champion!

  • First up, a new mount is available on the Blizzard Store - the Armored Bloodwing mount.

  • It's available for $25 dollars (or 20 Euros), and MMO-Champ just gave away 10 of them! Unfortunately

  • the giveaway closed on Friday so you just missed it...but, you're in luck! We're giving

  • one away as well! Stick around to the end of the video to find out how to enter our

  • giveaway.

  • Next, pet battles  - Blizzard's Cory Stockton spoke with Game Diplomat recently about some

  • of the decisions they made regarding pet battles in 5.3.

  • FOr instance, THe Lurker Below was going to be a 5.3 battle pet, but it didn't look good

  • when scaled down. Also, apparently a very large percentage of level 90 players are doing

  • pet battles or at least trying them, and if players are enthusiastic about pet battle

  • PvP that's something Blizzard will focus on more in the future.

  • Patch 5.4 will let you see the health of pets when spectating another player's pet battle.

  • Also, players enjoyed collecting pets dropping from old raid bosses, so after the second

  • set of Burning Crusade raid bosses get pets, next would be Wrath of the Lich King raid

  • bosses - although that's not guaranteed as there are no set plans for WHEN the BC bosses

  • will get pets.

  • We'll drop a link in the description if you're interested in listening to the full podcast

  • interview.

  • Moving on - in case you missed our weekly roundup on Friday (and click right over here

  • if you want to watch that), Blizzard's upcoming unnnanounced MMO Titan has been delayed. Blizz

  • has a very iterative style of development, and according to Mike Morhaime, they recently

  • realized that Titan was  just not going in the direction they wanted, so they reassigned

  • about 70 of its devs to other teams within the company - the remaining 30 are scrapping

  • the project and starting over. This means that 2016 is the earliest we could expect

  • to see Titan's release.

  • Finally, Blizzard revealed new Hearthstone cards last last week- the long-awaited Sylvanas

  • Windrunner and Earth Elemental cards! Earth Elemental is tanky and powerful, with 7 attack

  • and 8 health, but only 5 mana, and the Overload penalty which stipulates that he has less

  • mana to spend on his next turn. Sylvanas Windrunner has 5 each attack, health, and mana, and has

  • the power Deathrattle, which steals a random minion from your oponnent when she dies. Be

  • sure to check out Hearthpwn for info on the new Hearthstone cards.

  • That's does it for news. And if you've stuck around this far, here's how you can win a

  • 30 days of WoW subscription time: I wanna see you guys design a battle pet. What would

  • its name be? What kind of abilities would it have? Is it an elemental, humanoid? What

  • features would it have? Comment on this video and tell me as much as you want about it - the

  • best and most creative commenter will win an Armored Bloodwing!

  • And that's all for this week! Be sure to subscribe to both Curse and MMO-Champion on YouTube

  • if you haven't already, and Like this video for more WoW and Blizzard news! Once again
