The bulk of the company’s announcements will be viewable through the DC FanDome’s streaming hub, called the Hall of Heroes.

DC is only the latest company to spring for their own independent digital event as a means of revealing new content and media. Due to the cancellation of E3 and other major live events this year in the face of the Coronavirus, several other major companies like EA, Ubisoft and so on have held or announced upcoming events to bring fans news on their latest projects.
It all kicked off with Sony’s reveal of the PlayStation 5, which offered a glimpse at a slew of new games currently in development. More can be found on each game and how much hype they left in their wake here.
