The first batch goes on sale at 7 p.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, April 5, and the second batch goes on sale at 10 a.m. Pacific time on Saturday, April 8.

In addition to serving as a gathering place for Blizzard Entertainment gaming communities, BlizzCon will offer attendees a chance to enjoy:

  • Global finals for Blizzard esports, featuring top pro gamers from around the world
  • In-depth discussion panels with Blizzard game developers and artists
  • Community contests with great prizes
  • Commemorative merchandise based on Blizzard Entertainment’s game universes

In addition, an exclusive pre-BlizzCon dinner to benefit Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) will also be held the evening of Thursday, November 2, from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. PT at the Hilton Anaheim Hotel in Anaheim, CA. BlizzCon Benefit Dinner attendees will get the chance to eat, drink, and be merry alongside Blizzard developers, artists, and community representatives while supporting a great cause.

Tickets to the BlizzCon Benefit Dinner go on sale Wednesday, April 12 at 7 p.m. PT. Approximately 200 tickets will be available for $750 USD each (plus applicable taxes and fees; limit two per household), and Blizzard Entertainment will donate the proceeds to Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC).

For more information on BlizzCon 2017 and the BlizzCon Benefit Dinner, visit www.blizzcon.com

Attendee Details

After you purchase tickets, you will have until July 14 at 8 p.m. PT to edit the following information for each attendee through your Universe account:

  • First and last name of attendee (to be printed on the badge)
  • Email address of attendee
  • Character name (optional)

If you don’t know who you are purchasing tickets for, enter your own full name and email address for all of the tickets. In this case, the ticket purchaser must bring *all* of the printed bar code emails, along with matching photo ID, to BlizzCon to pick up badges. While all of the badges will show the ticket purchaser’s name, photo ID will only be checked at the time of badge pickup.

NoteIf you change the name of an attendee for a badge, only the emailed barcode and valid photo ID bearing the name of that attendee can be used to claim their badge. A confirmation email without a barcode will not be sufficient to claim a badge. You must have the barcode. Barcodes will be sent out at a later date.

But still no Death Knight in Hearthstone, right? Feels bad, man.
Hopefully we'll see a new game, and just like you wrote, Diablo 4 would really be a good one indeed.

I can't see Blizz announcing D4, with the Necromancer for D3 being released this summer.  Knowing them, the Necromancer addition is to keep people interested and test out new ideas, while they work on other projects.

I'm pretty sure there won't be a Diablo IV, I believe I've heard some Dev said that sometime. And anyways, the whole idea feels pretty played out. If they are going for a new hack'n'slash there will probably be fron another universe, or something very different.

But I'm a little curious what Blizzard have in mind for both Diablo and Starcraft universe. The story of Starcraft is done, after a lot of years. Diablo needs a twist as well.

I dunno, the interwebs found blizzard copyrighted the name "return of the lich king" would be a great hearthstone expansion to bring in a dk hero class :D   ( i will never give up)

i'd imagine we'll see the last raid patch for legion announced and then probably what will follow. The what will follow part is where they will sink or sail this ship. With the legion likely being gone the big enemy we've fought since WC3 is gone. While they dealt with this with the retcon, I just don't find the whole void lord thing that alluring. So while a Nzoth old god expac might be cool, I feel they would really need to step it up with the legion gone.

I guess it's going to be a Warcraft novel rather than an expansion for one of the games, as much as I'd like to be wrong.

honestly as long as its not the next wow expansion I am okay with it XD

could also potentially be a dungeon title, i remember a while back everyone thought "eye of ashara" was going to be an xpac name.

      We're 2 hours away from this year's opening ceremony at BlizzCon and the community is already guessing what will be announced today, so we're taking a look at some bingo cards for the event!
      Bingo Card 1
      The first bingo card talks about Thrall, Metzen, and of course "Storm" in the expansion name. Interestingly, it mentions Path of the Titans, a feature that was planned for Cataclysm but ultimately abandoned.

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 2
      The second bingo card includes guesses like Dragonriding everywhere, WoW on game pass, and more.

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 3
      The third bingo card boldly mentions a new expansion for Diablo 4! 

      Source: Reddit
      Bingo Card 4
      The fourth bingo card includes guesses like Cataclysm Classic, Classic+, no Patch 10.3, and more.
