The one-shot is expected to delve into the world of Diablo’s Sanctuary, with the possibility of info about Diablo 4 being mixed into the adventure.
BlizzCon’s website describes the one-shot as “Critical Role hosts a custom Diablo-themed adventure about a band of warriors pursuing whispered rumors of something ancient and evil stirring beneath the ruins of Old Tristram.”
The two and a half event will start at 2:05 pm PT this Saturday, February 20. Those hoping to watch the fun will be able to do so live on Blizzard’s website, YouTube, Twitch, and Twitter.
The event will also be archived for anyone who can’t make it on Saturday.
