The long-awaited Blizzard showcase is hitting the Internet this year with the inaugural BlizzConline, which will have plenty of revelations for Diablo, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, StarCraft, Hearthstone and more.
Due to the global health crisis, Blizzard is reshaping the way it wants fans to participate in the company’s 30th anniversary and will put the entire presentation online for everyone to view for free.
This will give people a lot of control over how they want to try BlizzConline, especially since there will be different channels where fans can tune in to broadcasts about specific titles.
Blizzard has confirmed everything about the game universes we’re going to hear, as well as the different schedules, depending on what you want to follow, so take a look at our review below.
BlizzConline 2021 Dates
The Blizzard online celebration will take place over the weekend of February 19 and 20. Each day, there will be about four hours of coverage from start to finish.
However, many question and answer panels and slots will run at the same time, revolving around completely different titles.
BlizzConline 2021 streams
You can follow all six BlizzConline streams directly from the company’s own website or on Twitch and YouTube for people who want to experience the presentation with these communities.
As time approaches, Dexerto will place all relevant streams here for your convenience.
BlizzConline presentation schedule
All hands are on the deck at Blizzard, which has produced live segments and pre-recorded footage centered on its many universes.
But those moments will happen sporadically during the 2-day event, starting with the BlizzConline opening ceremony that will take place on the first day at 2pm PST / 5pm EST / 10pm GMT.
After the opening show, you can funnel into any stream that is highlighting your favorite Blizzard title to see what new surprises the company will reveal during the event.
