What can I expect at the convention?
As usual, Blizzard fans will most likely not be bored at the convention. Blizzard has once again prepared a full program for the two days of the convention—although some details regarding announcements and panels are still pending. Here is an initial overview of what is planned:
- The opening ceremony: This is where Blizzcon kicks off, with familiar faces taking to the big stage to announce all kinds of new stuff. For example, new games, new add-ons, and so on.
- Darkmoon Faire: Here you’ll find tons of merchandise and lots of other goodies. With access to the Darkmoon Faire After Hours, you can even visit the fair after BlizzCon closes on September 12.
- The Charity Gala: There will be another big gala as an exclusive additional event alongside BlizzCon. Here you can chat directly with some Blizzard developers, artists, and community representatives.
- Game demos: Of course, there will also be demo stations available at the convention where you can play Diablo, WoW, Overwatch, or even Hearthstone. If something new is unveiled at the convention, it may also be playable.
- Developer panels: There will be discussions with developers on various stages, giving you a glimpse behind the scenes.
- Esports: There will also be several esports events at the show, including the Overwatch World Cup and the World of Warcraft Arena World Championship.
- Hearthstone Tavern: A tavern on the exhibition grounds will provide food and drink for you and your friends, but will also broadcast esports matches and host developer panels.
If you can’t make it to the show or don’t think it’s worth the price, you can also participate in the event from the comfort of your own home. As in 2023, the expo will once again be broadcast online for free, and you can watch the opening ceremony live, for example.
Of course, we’ll also be keeping our ears open and our glasses clean during the wild goings-on in Anaheim to keep you informed about everything exciting that’s happening there.
