Blizzard Unveils Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct, Promises Exciting Surprises

While BlizzCon may be taking a break this year or perhaps longer, Blizzard is set to honor the 30th anniversary of Warcraft with a special celebration event. Scheduled for November 13, the inaugural Warcraft Direct stream promises to revisit the franchise’s most cherished moments, many of which continue to thrive, along with exciting revelations for fans eager to explore the future of Blizzard’s endeavors.

The Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct will begin at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM UK, and viewers can catch it on Blizzard’s YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok channels. The event promises to deliver content for fans across the entire Warcraft spectrum:

“This year is monumental for the Warcraft universe. Whether you’re a player of Hearthstone, have dived into the frenzy of Warcraft Rumble, explored Azeroth for the first time in Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, or are a veteran of World of Warcraft, our Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct stream has something special in store for everyone.”

After the Direct, viewers can also enjoy a concert titled “World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music,”which highlights the iconic music from the series throughout the years:

The concert, produced by Helvepic and captured live in Switzerland, features the 21st Century Orchestra alongside three choirs—Tale of Fantasy, Ardito, and the Madrijazz Gospel—bringing a stunning ensemble of 190 performers who will guide you on an emotional and musical journey through time.

Blizzard has hinted at several surprises during the event, though details remain sparse, with the added note that “you won’t want to miss a moment.”Fan speculation is already ramping up regarding these surprises, with some suggesting that new game announcements might be on the horizon.

Previously, the company revealed plans for three significant expansions to further develop the World of Warcraft storyline, spearheaded by Chris Metzen. The initial release in the Worldsoul Saga trilogy, titled The War Within, was launched in August of this year.
