Blizzard has announced that BlizzCon will return on November 4th.



The most epic Blizzard event of the year kicks off on November 4 in Anaheim, California at the 10th BlizzCon®, where gamers from around the world will be gathering with Blizzard to celebrate 25 years of games, community, and fun. Even if you can't make it in person, you can still join the excitement from home with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket—available to order now at www.blizzcon.com.

Taking place November 4 and 5 at the Anaheim Convention Center, BlizzCon is a two-day celebration of Blizzard's game universes and the global player communities that bring them to life. The BlizzCon Virtual Ticket provides comprehensive live HD coverage of the show on two online channels, giving gamers at home a front-row seat to the developer panels, contests, and other activities at the show.

"It's incredible to think that we're getting ready for our tenth BlizzCon," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We can't wait to celebrate this epic milestone—and Blizzard's 25-year anniversary—together with everyone joining us in person and watching from home with the Virtual Ticket. We'll have more live games than ever at this year's show, and we look forward to sharing our newest content, celebrating our players' creativity, and witnessing some incredible esports competition this November."

Available for $39.99 USD, the BlizzCon 2016 Virtual Ticket grants access to both days of convention content, including:
  • Developer Panels - Get a first look at the latest developments in World of Warcraft®, StarCraft® II, Diablo® III, Hearthstone®, Heroes of the Storm™, and Overwatch®—all live from the main and panel stages.

  • On-Demand Replays - Miss a panel or just want to revisit your favorite moment? The Virtual Ticket provides access to on-demand replays of main-stage and panel-stage events for three weeks after the show.

The Virtual Ticket also includes a variety of commemorative bonuses to help keep the celebration rolling even after the weekend's over:
