BlizzCon 2023 is coming November 3-4

After four years of gathering online–adventuring through Azeroth, teaming up in Overwatch, traversing the fields of Sanctuary, or warming yourself by the fire in the Tavern–it’s finally time to gather in person once more. We are happy to announce that BlizzCon will be returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on November 3-4!

Our players are at the heart of what makes BlizzCon great–a place where games are the common ground for connection and friendship. Whether you’re coming to hang out with friends you only ever get to see online, celebrating epic moments in the games we love, exploring what’s on offer in the convention center halls, or eager to learn what’s next for our universes, BlizzCon is being created for you. It’s the community that has always made this event so special, and we can’t wait to see you all again.

We’ll be back with more details about the show next month including ticketing information, cosplay and other competition details, and more.

For those of you who want to book accommodation now, our hotel blocks are now available. Whether you’ll be joining us in person or online, we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on and celebrate together. We are counting down the days alongside you.

Stay up to date with BlizzCon and all things Blizzard by following us on Twitter.

Huh. Guess it really is happening after all.

[exsanguinate]

I hope for possible next expansion announcement at blizzcon.

[Reive]

after what happened yesterday with overwatch, i expect this to be a fiasco.

[StillMcfuu]

Ow3 announcement, 4v4, and everyone is a support. Bookmark it.

I was surprised they even bothered to tell us. Long ago since I thought they had given up on it and just wouldnt tell us. A true shitshow or nice marketing move to brand OW1 into whatever the fuck OW2 is.

[vizzle]

What big announcement would they have aside from a WoW expansion? Another Hearthstone expansion? I guess a Diablo 4 DLC/"expansion"?

Feels like this might mean they have a new game they want to show off? Because if not, I don't see why this year needs a Blizzcon after so many years without one.

That's mostly what Blizzcon is good for, these days. Watching it to see how Blizzard will embarrass themselves at their own event.

[Biomega]

Isn't this the traditional "lame duck" Blizzcon timing, given that a WoW expansion released last year and D4 is releasing this year? What are they going to feature?

That new survival game that's going to be years late to the party?

[panda040]

I can't to go with my MAGA hat on just to see what happens

[Daedius]

Probably be the least attended one.

We'll all have phones to see it.

WoW expansion released year before Blizzcon, WoW expansion coming every 2 years, connect dots.

Prepare for the next blizzard mobile games.
Guess that is what still gives them a profit the rest warcraft, starcraft and diablo is going downhill in quality and lost the wow factor and are now just meh franchises.

[saixilein]

Nice trailer, i really like the starcraft part.

PR and damage control mostly. Just judging from all their recent announcement videos I expect the whole affair to be super corporate, sterile and forced.

In terms of announcements, I think you'll get the standard stuff. WoW expansion, Hearthstone expansion, OW new character, DIV updates with maybe a new class, and probably more on their survival game. They supposedly have one more unannounced title they've been working on, so I guess there's a small chance that gets unveiled, but at the rate they abandon projects I wouldn't count on it.

[kranur]

Ready, set ... "Warcraft Immortal"

[SinR]

I'll stick with the Blizzcon Online again.

I've been a few times, it was fun but meh, going out really isn't my thing anymore

[Varjo410]

Ugh, why would anyone still be interested in this.
Just about everybody who can talk with passion about these games is gone and all that remains are soulless husks who care more about their gender politics than making a good game.
We'll probably end up with like 5 panels about "Equity in the workplace", "Diversity hiring", "Inclusion in a multicultured workforce" and other stuff, with the panels just talking about how holier-than-thou they are & high fiving each other.

[McNeil]

The OW2 fanbase got straight up scammed and lied too. But hey there is an upcoming Blizzcon! Surely they will anounce OW3 that will deliver the much anticipated PvE content... right?

In all seriousness, I can totally see this happen lol
