Things to note:
-Besides the Opening Ceremony, all the panels on the Main Stage for Friday say "Coming Soon." This is strange as even years when they announced new games or expansions they would at least have "World of Warcraft: What's Next?" or something.

-There is going to be at least one Q&A (WoW). That's gonna be... interesting to say the least. I'm surprised they're having any at all.

-No big Diablo IV panels, but I imagine that's what at least one of the "Coming Soon" slots is for.

Don't you guys have human rights?

Strafer · Oct 22, 2019

People will tune in to watch the shitshow that is the Q&A.

Bosch · Oct 22, 2019

Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 just that.

Deleted member 58846 · Oct 22, 2019

In for the Q&A

Xeontech · Oct 22, 2019

Ugh. Dreading it this year. For multiple reasons.

Deleted member 17643 · Oct 22, 2019

I bet they're going to sell a lot of streaming tickets after the opening ceremony.

signal · Oct 22, 2019

Honestly expecting a cancellation of the event.

I remember the first year that was on ESPN. NBA twitter went crazy and loved watching it.

Masagiwa · Oct 22, 2019

Have to watch for the new WoW expansion and Diablo 4. Where is the Q&A in the schedule, am I blind?

Wintermute · Oct 22, 2019

Wow 2 here we come.

Imagine a world without factions

It's easy if you try

Yerffej · Oct 22, 2019

I would love to see Art of panels at some point. Are videos of this stuff available sometime after the show?

Isn't Tyrande hearing up to blow up this truce already?

This is very silly.

On topic, the "Coming soons" are likely a mix of:

WoW xpac (guaranteed)
Diablo 4 (guaranteed)
Diablo 2 remaster (possible)
Some kind of major Overwatch release/sequel (seems very likely)

That leaves a couple slots I think?

They just announced Deathwing. Didn't even get to save it for Blizzcon.

It's on Saturday, Main Stage, 5:15-6:00 PM

Bad PR will not cancel Blizzcon. Especially 2 weeks before the actual event.

Guild Wars 2 did it well enough. No opposing sides except in dedicated PvP or WvW zones

Not allocating time for someone to hurl a flaming tire at an execs head is gonna bite them in the arse.

That's probably one of the Coming Soon slots.

"Join Blizzard developers in an extended hands-on thesis event as they screw the rules and tell it like it is. We'll really appreciate it if rival companies bring recruiters to this highly-anticipated stage. We'll need them."

Rumenapp · Oct 22, 2019

Cannot wait to see Diablo Immortal.

LavaBadger · Oct 22, 2019

Why are people excited about the Q&A? Isn't it safe to assume (after last year), that any and all questions are going to have been pre-screened?

Are people thinking someone is going to rush the stage or just excited about people holding up a few banners?

I just honestly can't imagine them doing it without serious controls.

There actually is no dedicated Diablo Immortal panel lol. They are straight Idontknowher.gif'ing that shit.

Maple · Oct 22, 2019

So is this what we're expecting?

- Warcraft III: Reforged
- New WoW expansion
- Diablo 2 Remastered
- Diablo IV (omg)
- Overwatch 2

BDS · Oct 22, 2019

*Peggle 2 voice* OVERWATCH TWOOOO!

I imagine they'll be delivering further information on this particular title from behind inch thick polycarbonate glass for when the audience prove they do indeed have phones. At high velocity.

Deleted member 21709 · Oct 22, 2019

Honestly surprised they don't just cancel Blizzcon.

Wouldn't be that weird for a protest.

That dude was pre screened.. he just asked a different question

Pretty much, stacked lineup.

Edit: Oh yeah don't forget Diablo Immortal and probably another mobile game based on one of their IP's.

Questions at the WoW Q&A's have actually been prescreened for years now. Prior Q&A's usually had a lot of pointless/repeat questions.

Reckheim · Oct 22, 2019

hopefully they announce Diablo 4.

It's happening.

It was never a remote possibility.

Anyway, floor plan has no Diablo section, but the big empty space by Hall D is pretty conspicuous. If diablo 4 is happening, that's probably where the demo stations will be.

Vylder · Oct 22, 2019

It's the most exciting Blizzcon in years for me. Can't wait!

HellBlazer · Oct 22, 2019

The whole StarCraft bracket in a single day? Uh... 😕

Okabe · Oct 22, 2019

This will be a Q and A to remember

elenarie · Oct 22, 2019

Oh wow! The event is 3 days this time!? That is so nice, more things to watch and follow.

lowmelody · Oct 22, 2019

I hope every question starts as some normal fan stuff before breaking into Hong Kong and Uyghur genocide awareness.

sheet, what does it say? where is that from?

Duxxy3 · Oct 22, 2019

World of Warcraft: Q&A
05:15 PM - 06:00 PM EDT

That should be interesting.

Nobody that gets the chance to ask a question is unable to ask an entirely different question though, with the possible consequence of being blacklisted from the event.

Have they banned Winnie the pooh cosplay and such? Or taken any other overtly bad stances with Blizzcon since the fallout?

Nothing public, no. Q&A stuff being a bit more... controlled seems likely, but I wouldn't expect much more than that.

The Blizzcon 2019 Schedule is now live.
