Overwatch Yule Log to Return Christmas Eve

Blizzard announced the return of the Overwatch Yule Log on Monday, promising fans another hours-long stream of minimal action and maximal Jeff Kaplan.

The Overwatch Yule Log, slated to return Tuesday, is a yearly tradition stretching back to 2017. In that first instance, the stream featured Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan sitting in a leather chair before a crackling fire. The stream lasted more than eight hours.

The second iteration saw Blizzard mix it up by introducing guest appearances. Voice actors Matt Mercer and Charlet Chung, who play McCree and D.Va, respectively, showed up on stream. Overwatch League talent Soe Gschwind showed up as well.

How Blizzard will up the ante in the third year of Overwatch Yule Log remains to be seen. The publisher has yet to announce a specific start time for the festivities, but fans will be able to tune in and catch all the non-action on the official Blizzard Twitch account.
