Blizzard Unveils Expansion of Warcraft Conventions

Celebrate 30 Years of Warcraft: A Global Convention Tour!

Blizzard Entertainment is throwing a massive party to commemorate three decades of Warcraft! The Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour is hitting six major cities worldwide, offering fans an unforgettable experience. These free, limited-capacity events will feature live entertainment, exclusive activities, and opportunities to connect with the Warcraft development team.

A Year of Warcraft Celebrations Culminates in a Global Tour

Following a year of significant Warcraft milestones—including World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary, Hearthstone's 10th, and Warcraft Rumble's launch—Blizzard is pulling out all the stops. Instead of BlizzCon in 2024, Blizzard focused on other events like Gamescom and the inaugural Warcraft Direct, showcasing content across various Warcraft franchises. Now, the World Tour takes center stage, offering a unique way to celebrate these achievements.

Tour Dates and Locations:

The six-city tour kicks off on February 22nd and concludes on May 10th, with events spread across the globe:

• February 22: London, United Kingdom
• March 8: Seoul, South Korea
• March 15: Toronto, Canada
• April 3: Sydney, Australia
• April 19: Sao Paulo, Brazil
• May 10: Boston, United States (coinciding with PAX East)

More Than Just Announcements: An Immersive Experience

While details are scarce, the tour promises a focus on fan engagement and community building. Expect live performances, special activities designed for Warcraft fans, and invaluable opportunities to meet the creators behind the games. Unlike BlizzCon or Warcraft Direct, the emphasis will be on creating lasting memories and shared experiences rather than major game announcements.

Free, Limited Tickets – Act Fast!

These events are described as "intimate gatherings," meaning tickets will be free but extremely limited. Blizzard will release information on how to obtain tickets through regional Warcraft channels. Keep a close eye on your preferred region's official Warcraft communication channels to secure your spot.

The Future of BlizzCon Remains Uncertain

The future of BlizzCon remains unclear. While a summer/autumn BlizzCon could be ideal to showcase the upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion (including the anticipated player housing), Blizzard's decision to skip BlizzCon in 2024 leaves the possibility of a biannual event open. Regardless, the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour promises a unique and exciting celebration for fans, so don't miss your chance to participate!
