Blizzard will now feature Facebook integration<\/strong> in all of its current and upcoming games.<\/p>\n

Players will be able to sign up for and log in to games such as\u00a0World of Warcraft<\/strong>, Hearthstone<\/strong>, Diablo III<\/strong> and Overwatch<\/strong>,\u00a0using their Facebook accounts.<\/p>\n

Battle.net gamers will also be able to share their favourite moments on Facebook using the site’s “Go Live” streaming functionality.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlizzard games are best when played with friends, so it\u2019s important to us to provide our players with features and services that make it easy and fun to share their experiences with each other,\u201d said Gio Hunt, executive vice president of corporate operations at Blizzard Entertainment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working closely with Facebook on this integration for\u00a0Overwatch,<\/em>\u00a0as well as our other games, and we look forward to sharing further details on our plans as development progresses.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new features are likely to be implemented before the end of June 2016<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
