Summary

Blizzard has unveiled the Warcraft 30th Anniversary World Tour, a series of six conventions set to captivate fans in cities worldwide. From February 22 to May 10, enthusiasts can secure free tickets to these exclusive Warcraft events, which are scheduled every few weeks.
In 2024, Blizzard chose not to host BlizzCon, instead opting to participate in other events such as their first appearance at Gamescom. Additionally, they launched the inaugural Warcraft Direct, a digital showcase that unveiled a wealth of content for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and the classic Warcraft RTS games.
Now, in 2025, Blizzard has delighted fans 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. The tour kicks off on February 22 in London, UK, and will journey through Seoul, South Korea; Toronto, Canada; Sydney, Australia; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and conclude in Boston, USA, during PAX East on May 10.
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)
Details about the conventions are currently sparse. The announcement highlights live entertainment, unique activities, and opportunities to meet developers from the Warcraft franchise. These events seem designed to create memorable experiences rather than serving as platforms for major announcements or updates on World of Warcraft and other related games, unlike BlizzCon or Warcraft Direct.
Tickets for these conventions are not available for purchase; instead, they will be offered for free, in limited quantities. Blizzard has indicated that more information on how to obtain these tickets will be shared through regional Warcraft channels. Fans eager to attend should stay tuned to these channels for updates on securing access to these exciting events.
As for BlizzCon, it remains uncertain whether Blizzard will host it this year, either in-person or digitally. According to the World of Warcraft roadmap, a late summer or early autumn BlizzCon could be the ideal venue to showcase content from the 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, fans should consider trying to obtain tickets for the Warcraft World Tour, as it promises to be a unique and thrilling experience.
