Microsoft, Blizzard To Stream Blizzcon 2015 on Xbox One
Fans of Blizzard Entertainment can now look forward to their big franchises and upcoming games and events at the BlizzCon 2015 from Nov. 6 to 7. But that's not all there is to it. Apparently, Microsoft and Blizzard are planning on collaborating in order to stream the BlizzCon 2015 on Xbox One, reports Attack of the Fan Boy.
The event, which will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif., is expected to make some important announcements. In fact, the opening ceremony itself is expected to broadcast Blizzard's biggest news yet. The Xbox One stream, on the other hand, will use the XLEi Xbox Live Events Interactive App to stream the ceremony and let Xbox One owners watch it from their consoles.
The BlizzCon website also featured the virtual ticket that allows fans to catch up on everything that is happening at the BlizzCon 2015 without attending the actual event. The BlizzCon virtual ticket is in the form of a digital download and it costs $39.99.
The virtual ticket will enable fans to enjoy the activities at the event including contests, on-demand replays, inside scoop (mainly about Blizzard's games), merchandise and the events finale, which will wrap up everything that has transpired during the two-day event.
The virtual ticket is limited to only one Battle.net account, and the event's broadcast will be in English only. In order to watch the stream, a user needs an internet connection, and, more importantly, a Battle.net account to register.
The broadcast stream will run on Pacific Time, and the event's replay will be broadcasted two weeks after BlizzCon. For a maximum experience on the live broadcast, you must use browsers Chrome 36.x, Firefox 32.x, Internet Explorer 11.x or Safari 7.x.
Attendees of the BlizzCon 2015 will be presented with additional perks such as hands-on play time with Blizzard's latest version of games, community contests that guarantees great prizes as well as discussion with the game's developers and artists.
Last July, BlizzCon was able to launch activity contests that showcased the participants' talents in movie making for the BlizzCon Movie Contest, artistry for the Blizzcon Original Art Contest, resourcefulness for the Blizzcon Costume Contest, and, lastly, the BlizzCon Talent Contest. The contest was in preparation for the upcoming BlizzCon 2015 where some of the prizes include a ticket for the BlizzCon 2015.
