Blizzard Announces Six New Warcraft Conventions

Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour: A Global Celebration

Blizzard Entertainment is commemorating three decades of Warcraft with a global tour featuring six fan conventions across the globe from February to May 2025. These events promise live entertainment, exclusive activities, and opportunities to connect with Warcraft developers.

Following Blizzard's decision to forgo BlizzCon in 2024 in favor of alternative events like Gamescom and the inaugural Warcraft Direct, the World Tour marks a significant shift in their approach to fan engagement. The tour celebrates key milestones within the Warcraft universe, including World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary, Hearthstone's 10th, and Warcraft Rumble's first year.

The six-city tour kicks off in London on February 22nd, making stops in Seoul, Toronto, Sydney, Sao Paulo, and culminating in Boston during PAX East on May 10th.

Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour Dates:

• 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 (during PAX East)

While details remain scarce, the conventions are expected to prioritize fan interaction and immersive experiences, rather than major announcements. Think memorable moments and developer meet-and-greets, not extensive game reveals.

Ticket Acquisition:

Tickets will not be sold; instead, Blizzard plans to offer free, limited-capacity access. Information on securing these coveted tickets will be disseminated through regional Warcraft channels. Fans are urged to monitor their local Warcraft communities for updates.

The Future of BlizzCon:

The future of BlizzCon remains uncertain. While a summer/autumn BlizzCon could serve as an ideal platform to showcase the upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion's content (including player housing), Blizzard's silence on the matter leaves room for speculation about a potential shift to a biannual event schedule.

Regardless of BlizzCon's status, the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour presents a unique opportunity for fans to celebrate the franchise's legacy. Securing a ticket is highly recommended for an unforgettable experience.
