Blizzard Unveils Six New Warcraft Events

Summary

• Blizzard is hosting a Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour with six conventions around the world between February and May.
• The events will feature live entertainment, unique activities, and developer meetups.
• Information on how to obtain the free, limited tickets will be made available through regional Warcraft channels.

Blizzard has just announced the exciting Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour, featuring a series of six conventions across the globe. Fans can look forward to securing free tickets to these exclusive events, which are scheduled to occur every few weeks from February 22 to May 10.

In 2024, Blizzard chose to forego BlizzCon, opting instead to participate in other events, including their first-ever appearance at Gamescom. Additionally, they launched the inaugural Warcraft Direct presentation, unveiling a wealth of new content for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and the classic Warcraft RTS games.

As we step into 2025, Blizzard surprises fans with the announcement of the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour. This tour celebrates significant milestones from the previous year, including the 20th anniversary of World of Warcraft, the 10th anniversary of Hearthstone, and the 1st anniversary of Warcraft Rumble. The tour kicks off on February 22 in London, UK, and will travel through Seoul, South Korea; Toronto, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and conclude in Boston, USA, on May 10, coinciding with PAX East.

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 specific details about the conventions are still sparse, the announcement promises live entertainment, unique activities, and opportunities to meet the developers behind the Warcraft franchise. These events seem designed to create memorable experiences rather than serve as platforms for major announcements or future game reveals, unlike BlizzCon and Warcraft Direct.

Tickets for these conventions are not yet available for purchase, and it appears they may not be sold at all. Described as "intimate gatherings," Blizzard has indicated that the tickets will be free but extremely limited. Fans interested in attending should stay tuned to their regional Warcraft channels for more information on how to obtain these coveted tickets.

It's unclear whether Blizzard plans to hold BlizzCon this year, either in person or digitally. According to the World of Warcraft roadmap, a late summer or early autumn BlizzCon could be the ideal venue to showcase content from the upcoming Midnight expansion, including the much-anticipated player housing systems. Although Blizzard skipped BlizzCon in 2024, they have not ruled out future events, suggesting a possible shift to a biannual convention model similar to Final Fantasy 14's Fan Festival. Regardless, fans should keep an eye out for opportunities to attend the Warcraft World Tour, as it promises to be a unique and thrilling experience.
