Blizzard Drops Schedule For BlizzCon, No Live Q&A For World Of Warcraft

Today, Blizzard posted the two-day panel schedule for the annual BlizzCon convention, beginning with the doors opening at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on November 3. This doesn’t cover everything that’s happening at the convention. Of course, players will have to build their own schedules around the rest of the content.

Day One features the Opening Ceremony, the "WoW: What’s Next?" and "WoW Classic: What’s Next?" panels. As you’d expect, the What’s Next? Panels offer insight into what’s coming to their respective games.

The second day of the convention features the tournaments for the various games, as well as some showcases, and Community Night. That’ll be the cosplay and art content. Those who aren’t at BlizzCon in person can still watch a good portion of the panels and other content via Twitch or YouTube. Note that in order to watch via YouTube using a Chrome browser, players need to be logged into their Google account

Unlike previous years, this year’s BlizzCon will not feature an in-person Q&A session. Rather, players can submit questions after the opening ceremony at the Darkmoon Faire or via the official forums. These will be used for a post-BlizzCon Q&A video.

Note: Activision Blizzard has been sued by California’s Civil Rights Department, alleging violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act and Equal Pay Act.  CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about the alleged violations within his company. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.
