The event will feature a variety of programs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both days at BEXCO, and visitors aged 15 and older can enter for free on-site.

The event will feature a developer talk session where attendees can interact directly with Walter Kong, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Live Games/Mobile at Blizzard; Ben Bell, Executive Producer and Senior Vice President of 'Overwatch'; and Aaron Keller, 'Overwatch' Game Director.

The event will also include a variety of programs, such as creator special matches, a live drawing show with the Blizzard Korea 'Overwatch' art team, a cosplay contest, and fan meetings with character voice actors and the South Korean 'Overwatch World Cup' (OWWC) national team. Additionally, seven on-site experience zones themed around carrying out missions as a member of the MEKA squad will be available, with participants receiving various merchandise, including 'Overwatch' hero dioramas and desk mats.

To celebrate 'Overwatch Day,' Nexon is holding a first-come, first-served event through its official website until August 21. Users who pre-register and visit the venue on August 22 or 23 will receive 10k Nexon Cash and an 'Overwatch Day' commemorative poster, with 5k spots available each day.
