BlizzCon is just a week away, and Blizzard has confirmed the schedule for the two-day event and live stream for those who aren’t making it out to California.
This is the first time in several years that BlizzCon returns as an in-person event. Blizzard has had some big releases over the past year, and is no doubt planning some major announcements. Those who get to attend the in-person event in california, BlizzCon Arena content will stream live globally on Blizzard's YouTube and Twitch channels, and now we know exactly when each game will get particular highlights in Arena presentations.
On Friday, November 3rd at 11:00 AM Pacific, the BlizzCon opening ceremony will stream live. Following that, at 1:30 PM PT, it’s World of Warcraft’s turn to tell us all “What’s Next”. With last month’s announcement of Chris Metzen as the Executive Creative Director of the Warcraft universe and priming reveals at BlizzCon, a presentation about what’s coming next seems like the right place to expect his return. World of Warcraft Classic also gets a “What’s Next” presentation at 3:30 PM PT.
Friday’s schedule:
- 11AM– Opening Ceremony
- 1:30PM – World of Warcraft: What’s Next
- 2:30PM – Overwatch 2: Deep Dive
- 3:30PM – World of Warcraft Classic: What’s Next

- 5:30PM – Warcraft Rumblings
On Saturday, prepare for a WoW Deep Dive at noon PT. Overwatch 2 gets its own “What’s Next” presentation at 1:30 PT. At 2:30 PM, the Diablo 4 team will hold one of their Campfire Chats directly from BlizzCon. As the Diablo team confirmed that they plan to support Diablo 4 with an ongoing seasonal model as well as expansion content, we'll have to see if they announce any of that next week.
Saturday’s schedule:
