Now Playing: World of Warcraft: Shadowlands Story Trailer

An earlier PTR build changed two sexually charged paintings from the game’s original release along with updating the Big Love Rocket’s icon. Blizzard will also be removing various references to former developers and changing old achievement names with patch 9.1.5. The latest PTR build brings changes to healing abilities as well as PvP talent adjustments. Patch 9.1.5 does not currently have a release date, but is expected to release sometime this fall.

Blizzard publicly said it would be making changes to World of Warcraft to “better reflect our shared values” and remove inappropriate references from the game following a state of California lawsuit (and subsequent SEC investigation) accusing Activision Blizzard of fostering a “frat boy” workplace culture rife with harassment and discrimination against women.

Allegations in the lawsuit have led to the departure of numerous Blizzard veterans, including former Blizzard president J. Allen Brack and former lead level designer Jesse McCree. The Overwatch character sharing McCree’s name will be undergoing a name change in the near future.
