Blizzard Entertainment, creator of World of Warcraft, announced Thursday that its BlizzCon convention would be held in Anaheim, California, on Oct. 22 and 23.
BlizzCon is videogame convention that focuses solely on games made by Blizzard Entertainment, namely the Warcraft series, Starcraft and Diablo. BlizzCon attendees get early hands-on access to forthcoming Blizzard games and expansions as well as keys that allow them access to future beta tests. Because Blizzard is so generous with swag and access, Blizzcon tickets sell out very, very fast.
Additionally, fans enjoy live music, tournaments, costume contests and a wild array of panels that give serious players the chance to grill Blizzard game designers. Last year Ozzy Osbourne played to the BlizzCon crowd. The inaugural show took place in 2005. BlizzCon took a year off in 2006 and has been held annually ever since.
Tickets for BlizzCon 2010 are not yet on sale. We’ll let you know when they become available.
