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!
