    Feel invincible this weekend.

    This week’s entertainment releases are headlined by the second season of Invincible, which has started streaming on Prime Video. Elsewhere, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is now in theaters, Quiz Lady is streaming on Hulu, and it’s a good time to catch up on Loki ahead of the season 2 finale next week.

    When it comes to games, Fortnite has a big time-travelling update, there’s a new WarioWare for the Switch, Knotwords is now on Apple Arcade (as part of a great lineup of holiday releases), and Switch Online subscribers can check out some retro oddities.

    And if you’re looking for something else to play, here are a few hidden gems from a very busy month of releases.

    Your first look at the next phase of WoW.

    Blizzard announced three expansions for World of Warcraft as part of its epic-sounding Worldsoul Saga story arc. And you can get a glimpse at the first, dubbed “The War Within,” with this cinematic trailer. The expansion will be launching in 2024.

    Even if you don’t play WoW, this is one heck of a trailer.

    Blizzard still knows how to make a good cinematic. Here’s some more evidence: this trailer for Cataclysm Classic, which launches in 2024.

    Wanna feel old?

    Well guess what, Hearthstone is almost 10. The game will celebrate the milestone next March, and in the meantime, a Wild West-themed expansion called “Shadow in the Badlands” is launching on November 14th.

    And that’s not all.

    Blizzard announced the next hero coming to Overwatch 2, but also teased some additional stuff that’s on the way. That includes a new damage hero, a new support hero, a new map, and a new game mode. It’s all due in 2024.

    What’s your ETA?

    The opening ceremony for the League of Legends World Championship is usually pretty exciting even if you aren’t into League; last year’s featured Lil Nas X teaming up with a holographic mech (you can watch it below). We don’t know exactly what to expect this year, but the 2023 event at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul will include both K-pop stars NewJeans and the fictional boy band Heartsteel, and it takes place on November 19th at 4AM ET.
