Blizzard Entertainment's biggest event this year finally took place during the weekend. BlizzCon 2016 unraveled the most exciting features which gamers would love having in every Blizzard major franchise.

IGN notes the games with special and exciting announcements in BlizzCon 2016, most especially those of Overwatch's most talked-about Hero, Sombra, and some of Diablo 3's notable tweaks. Blizzard fans know very well that Sombra is one of the most controversial features since it has caused some stir in the company, as reported in a previous article from News Every Day.

Reports say that BlizzCon 2016's announcement of Overwatch's newly-added Hero Sombra was "deafening" because of the way she was introduced to the crowd. She surprised fans when she hacked into the introductory presentation, especially at the time when she immediately showed her complex character that greatly coincides with the other Overwatch characters.

Meanwhile, makers of "Diablo 3" also announced in BlizzCon 2016 that there's still no 4^th instalment yet. However, gamers will witness the Original Diablo which players loved in the first instalment. The Original Diablo will make a return in Diablo 3.

The creators announced in BlizzCon 2016 that they will release the original Diablo in Diablo 3's Darkening of Tristom, an anniversary patch. Add to that: players will also get a feel of the original game since the audio arrangements, display filters and major characters will become present in Diablo 3. Avid gamers and fans of Diablo will start to experience this exciting tweak this week through PTR.

For those who don't know yet, BlizzCon happens every year. This event celebrates the different communities and universes of all of the games under the Blizzard Entertainment. This year is a special one, since Blizzard Entertainment celebrates their 25^th year and BlizzCon scores its 10^th year. BlizzCon 2-16 was held at Anaheim Convention Center in Canada last Friday (November 4) and Saturday (November 5).
