BlizzCon

Blizzard has done a couple stellar crossover Overwatch skins as digital rewards for attending BlizzCon.

While we won't all be gathering in Anaheim this year, we now have the schedule for our virtual BlizzConline February 19-20.

I think a lot about BlizzConline and how it's going to fill the BlizzCon-sized hole in all of our greedy little tell us everything hearts, and honestly, I think the most shocking announcement they could make, the absolutely craziest thing would be one of two potential announcements -- either a brand-new IP along the lines of Overwatch which they managed back in November of 2014, or literally nothing.

Blizzard Entertainment celebrates their 30th anniversary this year, and while they can't pull out all the stops in the usual fashion, BlizzConline is coming on February 19, and there's a pretty sweet collection of rewards that you can buy for your in-game needs -- like a really badass Polar Bear mount.

The annual celebration of all things Blizzard is obviously going to look a little different this time around.

With almost -- or perhaps only -- three weeks to go until BlizzConline, it's time to start thinking about all the wonderful news and previews we'll see at the (free!) online event.

Next month, we're getting BlizzConline, a completely virtual BlizzCon postponed from late last year due to the COVID pandemic.

2020 may have come and gone without a BlizzCon, but that hasn't stopped Blizzard from putting together a virtual event, "BlizzConline," coming next month -- it also hasn't stopped the community from coming together.

Save your gold and your Arcane Dust: BlizzConline will be free to any and all viewers.

So we have just learned that in the absence of their annual BlizzCon fan event/exposition/game announcement/demo/rock concert/eardrum-damaging lobby party, Blizzard has settled on February 19-20 for an online edition of the show.
