Blizzard has announced the exciting Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour, a series of six conventions set to take place in various cities worldwide. Fans can look forward to securing free tickets to these exclusive events, which will run from February 22 to May 10, 2025.

In 2024, Blizzard chose to forego BlizzCon, opting instead to participate in other events, including their debut at Gamescom. Additionally, they launched their first-ever digital Warcraft Direct, unveiling a wealth of new content for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and the classic Warcraft RTS games.

As we step into 2025, Blizzard continues to delight its community with the announcement of the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour. This tour celebrates the franchise's significant milestones from the previous year, including World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary, Hearthstone's 10th, and Warcraft Rumble's 1st anniversary. The tour kicks off in London, UK, on February 22, and will journey through Seoul, South Korea; Toronto, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and conclude in Boston, USA, on May 10, during PAX East.

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 about the conventions are currently sparse, the announcement promises live entertainment, unique activities, and opportunities to meet the developers behind the Warcraft franchise. These events seem geared more towards creating memorable experiences rather than serving as platforms for major announcements or reveals, unlike BlizzCon or Warcraft Direct.

Tickets for these conventions are not yet available for purchase, and it appears they may never be sold. Described as "intimate gatherings," Blizzard has indicated that the tickets will be free and highly limited. Fans eager to attend should stay tuned to their regional Warcraft channels for updates on how to obtain these coveted tickets.

It's unclear whether Blizzard plans to host BlizzCon in 2025, either in-person or digitally. According to World of Warcraft's roadmap, a BlizzCon in late summer or early fall could be the ideal venue to showcase content from the upcoming Midnight expansion, including the much-anticipated player housing systems. Although Blizzard skipped BlizzCon in 2024, they have not ruled out future events, suggesting a possible shift to a biannual convention model similar to Final Fantasy 14's Fan Festival. Regardless, the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour promises to be a unique and thrilling experience for fans, making it well worth the effort to secure a ticket.
