The show starts at 11:00 a.m. PDT (7:00 p.m. BST/8:00 p.m. CEST) on the official gamescom and The Game Awards social channels.
Immediately following ONL, WoW executive producer Holly Longdale, senior game director Ion Hazzikostas, and Warcraft universe creative director Chris Metzen join forces for an exciting deep dive into the zones, mechanics, new features, and story of the upcoming expansion during a special Midnight Expansion Reveal broadcast that will go live on the World of Warcraft YouTube and Twitch channels.
