The following is a report on the event.
It would be too long to hold a physical Blizzcon Fans event after 4 years.
The physical event of Blizzcon BlizzCon has been suspended for three times, and in terms of time apart, there has actually been a gap of four years from 2019 to 2023. Although the event, which has been separated by four years, is still full of excitement, the following reporter from the Technology Toy Channel will take everyone to the “Anaheim Convention Center”, the Blizzard Carnival venue in Anaheim, California, to review the highlights of this two-day large-scale event.

Highlights of this year’s releases
Although BlizzCon is a two-day live event, I believe that what many players are most concerned about is the opening game information conference; this year’s BlizzCon focuses on Warcraft, announcing the new epic main line of “World of Warcraft” The story “WORLDSOUL SAGA” will be a huge story spanning three expansion packs. The names of the next three expansion packs belonging to “WORLDSOUL SAGA” were also directly revealed at this BlizzCon. They are “The War Within” ”, “Midnight” and “The Last Titan”.
In addition, the new mobile game “Warcraft Rumble” under Warcarft Universe has been officially launched. This reporter has played the beta version before, which can be simply understood as the Warcraft version of Clash Royale. It feels good to play. In addition, the expansion pack “Vessel of Hatred” (Vessel of Hatred) for “Diablo 4” was officially released, and the new hero “Moga” MAUGA for Overwatch 2 was released, etc.

If you are a World of Warcraft fan, the most exciting news this year is probably that Chris Metzen has officially returned to Blizzard as the executive creative director of the Warcarft universe. Chris Metzen is one of the designers of the Warcraft worldview and is responsible for a large number of plots from the Warcarft series to World of Warcraft. Chris Metzen retired from Blizzard in 2016, and now he has made a strong comeback and announced the huge trilogy of stories “WORLDSOUL SAGA” in one go. Fans are naturally very excited.
The scale of e-sports has shrunk but the atmosphere remains the same
The scale of this year’s Blizzcon e-sports event has also been slightly reduced. There are no events such as the “Hearthstone” World Championship; the e-sports competition does not use the Anaheim Convention Center arena, but is held in each game’s region. However, this also has the advantage that if you go to watch the game in person, the viewing distance will be even closer; for example, this is the case at the Overwatch 2 World Cup competition venue. The distance between the front row seats and the player seats is less than 10 meters. Even the expressions of the players You can see everything clearly.

The atmosphere at the scene continues to be unbeatable
As a fan-oriented event, every year Blizzcon will set up various “check-in booths” in the venue for fans to take photos and check in; this year’s check-in booths continue to be very thoughtful, in addition to the super-large booths with many well-known Blizzard characters such as Jenna and Lilith. outside the model,
The most interesting thing is the super-large sword of Sargeras. Some players even brought a plaque with “that sword” to take a photo, which is quite awesome.Photography: Lin Zhuoheng
There are also some activities to serve fans on site. One of the more eye-catching ones is that the “Diablo 4” area provides temporary tattoo services. The act of tattooing is very consistent with the cult style of Diablo 4, and the activities also provide temporary tattoos that are not permanent. Don’t worry, a tattoo will last a lifetime, it’s quite thoughtful as a commemorative event.

A large number of cosplayers support the show
As an event for fans, of course, many cosplayers who love Blizzard games will also participate. There are subtle differences between European and American cosplay and Japanese cosplay styles. Japanese cosplay often focuses on “appearance” or “body shape”, and needs to show off a good-looking person. A beautiful girl or a beautiful figure; European and American Cosplayers prefer to make armors, weapons and various props. They also like to create non-human characters and paint themselves in colorful colors.
For example, this year there is a highly restored Lilith Cosplayer. The entire look is so beautifully made, it’s like Lilith herself stepped out of the game. (Activivision Blizzard)

Even players who have no research or interest in Cosplay can still participate in activities, such as the classic player gathering in Blizzcon “March of the Murloc” event, where players wear costumes of the “Murloc” from World of Warcraft The costumes are assembled together and they make strange screams that are symbolic of fish-men. It is quite addictive.

LE SSERAFIM’s wonderful live performance brought excitement to the audience
One of the highlights of this year’s Blizzcon is the collaboration between the popular Korean girl group “LE SSERFIM” and Overwatch 2. LE SSERFIM also served as the closing performance of Blizzcon, singing a number of golden songs live, in addition to the collaboration song “Perfect” with Overwatch 2 In addition to “Night”, there are also ANTIFRAGILE, Flash Forward, UNFORGIVEN and so on. Normally, LE SSERAFIM’s concerts are definitely hard to come by. Those who watched the performance at Blizzcon this time can be said to have made a profit; and the audience at the scene also knew that this was a rare opportunity. Every song was responded to enthusiastically and the audience was screaming wildly. Call.
The reporter himself usually doesn’t pay much attention to Korean groups and girl groups, but he also likes the collaborative song “Perfect Night” this time. (Activivision Blizzard)
Summary: Beautiful but slightly incomplete combustion
This year’s BlizzCon was still wonderful overall, and the atmosphere was very lively. Now that physical activities have been greatly reduced due to the impact of the epidemic for several years, I once again realized the significance and enthusiasm of physical activities. But it may be due to the expectations accumulated over the past few years, and there is still a feeling of incomplete combustion; I hope that Activision Blizzard will change ownership to Microsoft, and CEO Bobby Kotick, who is generally rated by fans, will also step down in 2024. I hope that Blizzard can quickly It will reach another peak soon.
