Wow, Overwatch, Hearthstone: All important dates of BlizzCon on Saturday

The second day of BlizzCon has begun. Our schedule tells you when to tune in to find out the exciting details about WoW, Overwatch, and more!

Although all the big revelations at BlizzCon 2017 were revealed yesterday, the night from Saturday to Sunday will also be interesting. Because this is mainly about the nerdy details that often give fans headaches.

Those who want to experience the various streams live need to buy a Virtual Ticket for €30. This grants access to all streams as well as replays of already missed presentations.

BlizzCon schedule for Saturday night (November 4)

We have listed the highlights you definitely shouldn’t miss in this schedule:

• 18:00 – 19:00 – CodeCraft – Under the Hood with Blizzard Engineering: For everything to run smoothly in Blizzard’s games, many invisible mechanics must function. What players never get to see is revealed by the developers here. On the “Heroic” stage.
• 19:30 – 20:30 – Behind Blizzard’s Worlds: The creative minds at Blizzard discuss how they create rich game worlds with iconic characters and what is necessary for it. On the “Mythic” stage.
• 20:45 – 21:45 – The Art of World of Warcraft: Before there are finished landscapes in WoW, everything starts as a concept drawing. The designers present a large part of their artistic work and show what the (current) final product looks like. On the “Legendary” stage.

• 02:30 – 05:30 – Closing Ceremony: The conclusion of BlizzCon is always a relatively “cozy highlight”, and this time, the British rock band Muse has been secured for it. There will surely be some nerdy puns again. On the “Mythic” stage.
