BlizzConline is an all-digital community event and exhibition of
all things Blizzard, offering players around the globe a chance to
connect in the online world while circumstances keep everyone from
gathering in the real one. On two consecutive days and across six
channels of programming, Blizzard developers will be sharing the
latest game news with the world, and cosplayers, artists, and
makeshift murlocs will be sharing their talents through events such
as the Community Showcase. In addition, as Blizzard celebrates its
30th anniversary this February, players everywhere will have a
chance to mark three decades of exploring epic games and universes
together as they look forward to what the future holds for their
friends, guildmates, and allies.
“We couldn’t let too much time go by without connecting with our
community in the spirit of BlizzCon, and that’s what this show is
all about—getting together with friends from around the world and
celebrating the bonds and experiences we share through games,” said
J. Allen Brack, president of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re also
excited to share some updates on what the teams have been working
on—and while this won’t be the usual BlizzCon, the all-online
format gives us a unique opportunity to shake things up a bit and
create a show specifically for a community at home.”
Day one of 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 the latest game content now in development. Then for the
next three-plus hours, players will have the option to tune in to
one of six different themed channels digging deeper into the games
they’re most interested in.
Day two will pick back up at 12 p.m. PST on Saturday, February
20, with multiple channels once again, until the event concludes
later that afternoon. On this second day, Blizzard will be
answering players’ questions through Q&A sessions and shining a
spotlight on its global player community, including the winners and
outstanding entries in the Community Showcase cosplay, movie,
talent, and art contests and exhibitions.
Players who miss out on events as they’re broadcast will be able
to watch them after they premiere (also free) in the BlizzConline
video archives. A detailed schedule of events and segments will be
announced in the weeks leading up to the show.
In addition to the anniversary celebration activities taking
place during and around BlizzConline, an array of commemorative
