SC2 and RTS got a huge push at BlizzCon 2015. I suspect the big push this year will be in a different genre and different franchise.

BlizzCon 2015 opened with SC2 and a big speech about how RTS is intrinsic to Blizzard. I don't see that happening again this year because they have 5 other franchises and other major products to push. Sometime during the hour long opening ceremony the SC franchise will get mentioned though.

Nothing announced by Deepmind about SC2 for several months now. I guess it is just the Co-op AI since the talk is only 1 hour long, but the possibility is there ofc.

Well there isn't an expansion about to come out, so it's not going to be as focused as last year...

The Blizzcon 2015 intro was really great though

If we see the HD remasters announced, then it'll likely be mostly in the opening ceremony. There doesn't seem to be room in the schedule for any secret panels dedicated to then. They would at most be snuck into existing panels, but even then I don't think that would do them justice.

i guess if it turns out they are in fact happening, then they can't be very far into development, so there's nothing to really discuss or reveal except the announcement itself, which would be in the opening ceremony only...

Weird al is in his 50's or so, while Led Zeppelin are all pushing 70.

The fact that it's on the main stage implies that it's more than just co-op AI. None of the other SC2 stuff is there. They have to be announcing some kind of major project.

Another thing to keep is mind is, there are actually 2 SC2 exhibitions - one on Friday night, 2.75 hours long, and one on Saturday morning, 1.25 hours long. Maybe a mini-tournament? Or 2 entirely separate things?

IMO this is the prime time for SC2 to go free-to-play, with microtransactions and the final expansion being already out.

i think Blizzard's stance on F2P and competitive games is reflected in their release of Overwatch.

their view seems to be...
make people pay for competitive gaming experiences so that if they hack and get caught it costs them money to rejoin the party. therefore , i don't see SC2 going F2P.

Prime time was 5 years ago. The second best time is now.

All they have to do is make multiplayer free and charge for co op/campaign. ez.
