Blizzard's Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour: A Global Celebration
Blizzard Entertainment is commemorating three decades of Warcraft with a worldwide tour featuring six fan conventions across the globe. These intimate gatherings, scheduled between February 22nd and May 10th, offer a unique opportunity for fans to celebrate the franchise's rich history.
The tour replaces Blizzard's traditional BlizzCon event for 2025, following a year that saw the company participate in Gamescom and host its inaugural Warcraft Direct. This new format allows Blizzard to engage with fans in various locations, celebrating milestones like 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, progressing to Seoul, Toronto, Sydney, Sao Paulo, and culminating in Boston during PAX East on 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)
Each convention promises live entertainment, engaging activities, and opportunities to connect with Warcraft developers. The focus is on creating memorable experiences rather than major announcements, unlike BlizzCon or Warcraft Direct.
Ticket information is limited. Blizzard has indicated that tickets will be free but extremely limited, distributed through regional Warcraft channels. Fans are encouraged to monitor their regional channels for details on how to secure their spot.
The future of BlizzCon remains uncertain. While a summer/autumn BlizzCon could showcase the upcoming World of Warcraft: Midnight expansion, including highly anticipated player housing, Blizzard's decision to skip BlizzCon in 2024 suggests a potential shift to a biannual event schedule. Regardless, the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour presents a unique and exciting opportunity for fans to participate in a celebration of the iconic franchise.
