Leaks and What to Expect From BlizzCon 2021

In the days leading up to BlizzCon 2021 there has been lots of chatter about the big announcements fans can expect to see over the next few days, so we’ll recap the most popular discussion topics we’ve been hearing. Obviously those who don’t want spoilers should stop scrolling now.

Perhaps the most noteworthy leak arrives from Twitter user Kaiser499 who claims to have an itinerary of all the major BlizzCon announcements coming over the next few days. Their lineup includes:

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade ClassicDiablo II ResurrectedHearthstone expansionA release date for Diablo: ImmortalA Warcraft pet battle game and other mobile projectsNew heroes, maps and a lore sneak peek for Overwatch 2A new class and arena reveal for Diablo IV

Beyond these general details, however, it appears Blizzard has run a mostly tight ship with regard to concealing major reveals. We’ll know in the coming hours just how true, or untrue, these supposedly leaked suggestions might be.

BlizzCon 2021 runs February 19 and February 20 across virtual streaming platforms.
