BlizzCon 2008 Announced

May 12, 2008 9:12 AM

Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo creator Blizzard Entertainment has announced that it will be holding its third-ever BlizzCon gathering at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on October 10 and 11, 2008. Tickets will go for $100.

At last year's event, the company pulled back the curtain on its World of Warcraft expansion Wrath of the Lich King and allowed attendees to sample StarCraft II's multiplayer.

Following in BlizzCon tradition, this year's gathering will include hands-on time with upcoming Blizzard games, discussion panels, tournaments, a costume contest, and more. Unlike id Software, which holds its free QuakeCon event annually, Blizzard only throws BlizzCon when it has something to show or announce.

        well you can expect stores to close at 3pm, lines for pizza 2 hours long and police being called to make sure that the stores dont get vandalized after closing at 3pm.

        LOL Man, people are vultures. The human race is not destined for anything great. And I base that solely on it's inability to rationally acquire 23 cent pizza.
