Overwatch fans will soon have an opportunity to earn some rare loot for their cosmetic collections, as Blizzard unveiled some exclusive prizes players can earn by tuning into BlizzCon on September 12 and 13. Overwatch is just one game that will be prominently shown during BlizzCon, alongside World of Warcraft and the Diablo series.
Overwatch World Cup Viewers Can Earn Twitch Drops Soon
Days ahead of BlizzCon, Twitch and Blizzard revealed some in-game goods that Overwatch fans can soon earn. After connecting a Twitch and Battle.net account together, viewers can claim Twitch Drops from watching the Overwatch World Cup (OWWC) tournament that will take place during BlizzCon. Each day, a new slate of Twitch Drops can be collected for watching anywhere between 15 minutes and eight hours of the OWWC, which will automatically be added to viewers’ in-game inventories. For example, viewers who watch at least two hours of the OWWC on September 12 will earn a tournament-themed skin for Jetpack Cat. By comparison, some Domina skins will be available on September 13. Viewers who watch the entire OWWC can earn up to six loot boxes, four skins, and other cosmetics for their collections. It is currently unclear if BlizzCon’s in-person attendees will receive similar goods.
