It's the weekend all you BlizzHeads have been waiting for: BlizzCon 2018. It's a convention of Blizzard-related everything, running from November 2 to 3 in Anaheim, California, with panels and today's big Opening Ceremony for the celebration. At the Opening Ceremony, we can expect news on Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, and more.

This year's big BlizzCon title seems to be Diablo related, considering the convention layout this year, but Blizzard has already assured fans that it has more than one Diablo-related project in development. What else could it be? We'll find out today in BlizzCon 2018's big opening presentation.

Tune in to BlizzCon's 2018 Opening Ceremony below from Twitch, at 11am PT / 2pm ET. For the rest of BlizzCon's panels, you'll need a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, which also locks you in for the World of Warcraft Classic demo and a special Overwatch skin.
