Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour: A Global Celebration

Blizzard Entertainment is throwing a massive party to celebrate three decades of Warcraft! The Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour will hit six cities worldwide between February and May, offering fans a unique opportunity to connect with the Warcraft community and Blizzard developers.

The tour, announced recently, replaces the traditional BlizzCon with a series of smaller, more intimate events. These six conventions, scheduled between February 22nd and May 10th, will feature live entertainment, special activities, and developer meetups.

Following Blizzard's decision to skip BlizzCon in 2024 and instead participate in events like Gamescom and launch its inaugural Warcraft Direct, this World Tour marks a new approach to fan engagement. It celebrates significant milestones in the Warcraft universe, including World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary, Hearthstone's 10th, and Warcraft Rumble's first.

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 are scarce, the events promise memorable experiences rather than major announcements. Expect live performances, engaging activities, and a chance to meet the minds behind your favorite Warcraft games.

Tickets will be free but extremely limited. Blizzard describes these as "intimate gatherings," suggesting high demand. Information on how to obtain these coveted free tickets will be released via regional Warcraft channels. Keep an eye on your preferred Warcraft communication platforms for updates.

The future of BlizzCon remains uncertain. While a late summer/early autumn BlizzCon could ideally showcase the upcoming World of Warcraft Midnight expansion and its anticipated player housing, Blizzard's silence on a 2025 BlizzCon suggests a potential shift to a biennial schedule. Regardless, the Warcraft World Tour presents a compelling alternative, promising a unique and exciting experience for fans.
