I can only say this for those who have been to a Blizzcon. An online experience no matter what the announcement will pale in comparison to the real thing. Anaheim California might just be a normal city but when Blizzcon is in town it becomes the Blizzard universe. Any fan who enters the world of Blizzcon will never be the same once they leave. I can’t express to you how much we miss attending this legendary event and look forward to a day when it returns.
BlizzConline will kick off the Opening Ceremony at 2 PM. PST on Friday, February 19th, and end at 5:30 PM. After that, choose the path of your destiny through six different streaming channels: five channels dedicated to World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo, Overwatch, and a Strategy games channel covering StarCraft, Warcraft III: Reforged, and Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard’s main channel will host a show covering a mix of select panels from the other channels.
Day 2 will open back up at 12 PM. PST on Saturday, February 20, with all the same channels, wrapping up at 4:30 PM. Blizzard will be shining the spotlight on the global community throughout the second day. Announcing winners and outstanding entries in the Community Showcase contests and exhibitions. If you are not able to watch BlizzConline live don’t panic! All segments will be archived as VOD’s after they air for you to watch at your earliest convenience.
Select BlizzConline content will be supported in 12 languages via livestream or VOD, including English with subtitles in European Spanish, French, German, Russian, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese.
