we will be sharing a ton of info soon (real soon, not Blizzard Soon™️ 😋)! We've learned a lot and have a strong vision for the future, but at the end of the day vision means nothing if the your experience doesn't feel right. Lots more to come, so stay tuned 💙
It’s about time we give those crazy Stadium builds the crazy names they deserve! 🏟️🪪
Drop your over the top hero builds in the comments below, and if you’re lucky, we’ll pick our faves and give them some names 💪
We set out to make Stadium for and with you all. You showed up for us, and we want to make good on being transparent and communicative, even early. So, here's the official Stadium roadmap!
We've got plenty cooking, and we're listening. Thank you for all of your support so far 💙
We're excited to share more about Stadium and its future in the coming weeks, but what's top of mind right now for us is making sure we make key improvements to the experience as quickly as possible.
Don't want to run before we walk, and don't want to let anything sit too long.
Hey all! I wanted to get some info out on Stadium before the weekend.
Check it out in this quick Director's Take with some of our thoughts on the feedback we've heard. 😊
We're also working on a more comprehensive one for later next week. See you then!

We want Stadium to be the best game mode it can be, and that starts with us addressing your feedback! ✨
Here’s what the team had to say about the initial Stadium feedback they received, and be on the lookout for more updates and tweaks to Stadium throughout the rest of Season 16 🏟️
Everyone who has played Stadium so far, shared feedback, noted issues, and shown off awesome builds - THANK YOU!
We'll have updates coming on what we're seeing from launch day, our top issues we're fast tracking fixes for, and next steps ASAP.
In the meantime, KEEP IT COMING!
Since it was announced, we’ve been working to polish and tweak Stadium alongside players in its Closed Alpha Playtest 🛠️

The American Journal of Play has kindly published a full interview with me about video games and my work.
It is an honor but also disorienting to have reached the advanced stage of looking back on my career. Didn't I just start (checks watch)?
