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 conventions across the world 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 offers a fresh approach to fan engagement. The tour celebrates significant 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 on February 22nd and concludes at PAX East in Boston on May 10th, with stops in Seoul, Toronto, Sydney, and Sao Paulo in between.

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 events are anticipated to prioritize fan experiences and interaction, rather than major announcements. Expect live performances, unique activities, and developer meetups.

Ticket acquisition will differ from traditional conventions. Blizzard has indicated that tickets will be free but extremely limited, distributed via regional Warcraft channels. Fans are encouraged to monitor their regional Warcraft communication channels for further information on ticket availability.

The future of BlizzCon remains uncertain. A potential late summer or early autumn BlizzCon could serve as a platform for revealing content from the World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion, including the anticipated player housing feature. However, the possibility of a biannual BlizzCon model is also being considered. Regardless, the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour presents a unique opportunity for fans to celebrate the Warcraft legacy.
