BlizzCon

BlizzCon 2023 is this week and the schedule has been released and while there's a lot of interesting stuff being broadcast there's also a lot missing.

We finally have the full schedule for BlizzCon 2023, and it seems a little sparse: Friday, November 3 11AM – Opening Ceremony 1:30PM – World of Warcraft: What’s Next 2:30PM – Overwatch 2: Deep Dive 3:30PM – World of Warcraft Classic: What’s Next 4:30PM – Hearthstone: What’s Next 5:30PM – Warcraft Rumblings Saturday, November 4 12PM – World of Warcraft: Deep Dive 1:30PM – Overwatch 2: What’s Next 2:30PM – Diablo IV Campfire Chat with game director Joe Shely, associate game director Brent Gibson, production director Tiffany Wat, lead game producer Kayleigh Calder, and associate director of community Adam Fletcher 4:45PM – Community Night 6:15PM – LE SSERAFIM Appearance This year's schedule is notably streamlined, with all panels taking place on a single stage.

BlizzCon is returning in 2023 on November 3-4 and if you were still hoping to attend BlizzCon 2023, the last round of BlizzCon ticket sales is still happening.

We are only two weeks away from the first in-person BlizzCon since 2019, and I am getting really hyped.

The announcement of in-person BlizzCon brought excitement to fans across the globe, but as the initial exhilaration faded, a question surfaced: how much is this going to cost us?

After a long interruption due to Covid-19, an in-person BlizzCon is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on November 3 and 4 this year, but to attend, first you need to buy a ticket.

BlizzCon will be running from November 3 - 4, 2023 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Last week the Hearthstone team had a cosplay contest that was a lot of fun with some worthy winners, but what I found interesting was how much it made people miss BlizzCon.

After COVID-19 led to the cancellation of BlizzCon the last few years and BlizzConline '22 was cancelled in the wake of the DFEH lawsuit, there were some real concerns that an in-person BlizzCon would never happen again (a concern not alleviated by the Microsoft intent to purchase).

Like WoW Classic, Burning Crusade Classic starts at a late patch (2.4.3) but game content will roll out over the course of five phases, as well as a prepatch interval I'm terming "phase zero." It mimics the original game release to an extent, but there will be some items whose availability will be unlocked as well over the course of the phases, which we've noted below.
