Activision Blizzard has announced that its upcoming annual fan event and 30th-anniversary celebration, BlizzConline, will be held for two days long on February 19 and 20. As its name stands, 2021 BlizzCon will be the first online-only convention the company held, and everyone can watch the full show for free over on Blizzcon.com.
On the first day, BlizzConline will focus on diving deep into updates about Blizzard’s upcoming games. If you’re missing the fan-related festivities, though, you should tune in until the end of the second day. Read the event outline below.
BlizzConline will kick off at 2 p.m. PST on Friday, February 19, with an opening segment that includes a first look at some of its latest games, possibly Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4. For the next three hours, six different channels will go online to dig deep into select Bllizard titles.
Day two will pick back up at 12 p.m. PST on Saturday, February 20, with multiple channels again. On this second day of 2021, BlizzCon, Blizzard will open Q&A sessions and showcases its community-based exhibitions. Including the announcement of the Community Showcase cosplay, movie, talent, and art contests winners.
