Blizzard Entertainment knows how to stir the pot, and this time it took just seven words: “Grab your potions and meet me in Hawezar.” No trailer. No patch notes. No roadmap. Just a message dropped like a fireball into the swampy heart of Diablo IV’s Sanctuary—and the community? It exploded. What followed wasn’t just speculation; it was a full-blown digital bonfire...
