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 worldwide tour featuring six conventions across the globe from February to May 2025. These events promise live entertainment, exclusive activities, and invaluable opportunities to connect with Warcraft game developers.

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

The six-city tour kicks off in London (February 22nd) and continues to Seoul, Toronto, Sydney, Sao Paulo, and culminates in Boston during PAX East (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 focus on immersive experiences and fan interaction rather than major announcements. Expect live performances, unique activities, and developer meetups.

Importantly, attendance will be free but strictly limited. Ticket acquisition details will be revealed through regional Warcraft channels. Fans are encouraged to monitor their local Warcraft communities for updates.

The future of BlizzCon remains uncertain. A potential late summer/early autumn BlizzCon could serve as a platform for showcasing content from the upcoming World of Warcraft Midnight expansion, including the anticipated player housing feature. However, Blizzard's silence regarding future BlizzCons suggests a possible shift to a biannual schedule. Regardless, securing a spot at the Warcraft World Tour promises a memorable and exclusive experience.
