BlizzCon 2023: Everything You Need to Know

Oct. 31, 2023

The show for all things Blizzard is just around the corner. Happening on November 3 and 4 in Anaheim California, the annual convention is a place where Blizzard and its fans can celebrate many beloved franchises. This includes Diablo, Overwatch, Warcraft, StarCraft, and Hearthstone.

It is a noble endeavor, one that Blizzard is excited to showcase. This is the first time ever that the developers are doing it this way, as they want to make the return to an in-person event extremely memorable.

Starting on November 3rd at 11 AM  is the conference Opening Ceremony. Traditionally, these are grand affairs that will highlight most of the things to come. After that we move on to what’s next forWorld of Warcraft,Overwatch 2,WoW Classic, and Hearthstone. Last on that day is Warcraft Rumblings, which is likely just info on the new Warcraft mobile game. On November 4th, we go into a deep dive on WoW and what’s next for Overwatch 2. We will also get a nice Campfire Chat forDiablo IV, which recentlycame to Steamand released its second season,Season of Blood.

Closing out the conference is a Community Night and an appearance by Le Seserafim, a K-POP band who is also doing some crossover events with Overwatch 2 at the moment.

The main showroom floors will also have gaming booths where players can test the upcoming content for WoW and other titles. Players can get tattooed if they really, really love Diablo, or dress up as a Murloc and parade the halls.

The more expensive tier, the Portal Pass, retails for $799. Getting the higher tier includes everything in General Admission, plus exclusive access to a private viewing lounge, concessions, experiences, and developer meet and greets. This pass will also have a separate registration and entrance line, presumably with fewer people due to the massive increase in price.

Lastly, for those who want to support the developers even more, you can purchase the online-only BlizzCon Collection which includes a swathe of exclusive in-game goodies for the major active franchises. This one sells for $29.99 for the “Epic” pack, and $49.99 for the Legendary pack.
