Blizzard Plans 35th Anniversary Presentations, Set to Reveal News for World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Diablo
Anniversary celebrations will bring a flurry of announcements for Azeroth, Overwatch, and Diablo's hell in the coming weeks, while BlizzCon announces its return for September.
· Author: Michal FortynBlizzard is launching a series of developer presentations for its 35th anniversary, promising major announcements across its core franchises.
Four streams over two weeks, Czech times scheduled for the evening
Blizzard is kicking off the anniversary series called Blizzard Showcase; four separate streams are set to offer announcements and previews directly from the individual game teams.
For the Czech audience, it makes sense to keep an eye on the CET broadcast starts, as most slots are scheduled for the evening hours at 18:00. All broadcasts will run on YouTube and Twitch platforms.
The digital roadshow kicks off as early as January 29 with a trip to Azeroth, where the creators will present a roadmap just a month before the release of the Midnight expansion. The baton will then be taken on February 4 by the Overwatch 2 team, who will likely reveal details about the upcoming Talon faction invasion in the new season.
On February 9, card game fans will see which direction Hearthstone will take this year, but the highlight of the program comes two days later. The 30th-anniversary celebrations of the legendary Diablo series will culminate on February 11 with a presentation focused on the second expansion for the fourth installment, subtitled Lord of Hatred.
This entire series of online events serves as an appetizer for the main course, which will be the return of the physical BlizzCon conference in September of this year.
