Blizzard has revealed the full schedule for its upcoming all-digital BlizzCon 2021, aptly named BlizzConline, and you can expect a new look at Overwatch 2 as well as what's coming in the Diablo and World of Warcraft franchises.

BlizzCon 2021 is a free two-day event taking place on Friday, February 19 and Saturday, February 20. Things kick off at 2pm PST / 5pm EST on Friday with the Opening Ceremony, which will last about an hour before the show splits off into six different streaming channels. From there, you can tune into dedicated streams for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo, Overwatch, and "Strategy games," which covers StarCraft, Warcraft III: Reforged, and Heroes of the Storm. Meanwhile, the main Blizzard channel will continue to run various clips from the other channels.

Overwatch's showing will begin with a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming sequel, followed by a panel featuring various Overwatch voice actors, and finally a panel on the game's soundtrack. From deep dives and previews of what's next for Diablo and World of Warcraft, the full BlizzCon 2021 schedule seems to offer a good mix of behind-the-scenes goodies and new developments on Blizzard's flagship series.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
