"There's lots of planning left to do, but we wanted to provide an early heads-up on how you can take part in the online festivities!" the company added.
In 2019, the game publisher announced its major new titles, including Diablo 4 and Overwatch2. This means that the online event would likely provide some updates about the latest games. The tweet also included a link to its blog post, which explained the activities that would take place during BlizzConline.
Get ready for Blizzard's new "Community Showcase" event
BlizzConline is planning to showcase its new "Community Showcase" event, allowing artists, co-play crafters, and other community creators to participate and display their talents. The company explained that since it will be an online-only event, the activities will be accessible to more people worldwide.
Blizzard also announced that it is currently assembling a unique activity called "March of the Murlocs," inviting the fans to send images and videos to join in. The company warned that those interested should be mindful of the appropriate health guidelines when they're going to take group-based photos, videos, and other submissions.
BlizzConline's other activities include Cosplay Exhibition, Cosplay Contest, Art Contest, Digital Storytelling Contest, and Talent Spotlight.
