more of than ever before—and for everyone tuning in for all of the
extras provided with the Virtual Ticket.”
Epic BlizzCon Extras
This year, BlizzCon attendees and Virtual Ticket holders will
receive a multiverse-spanning assortment of in-game extras to help
mark the occasion alongside their friends, allies, teammates,
guildmates, broodmates, and rivals:
- World of Warcraft: Ride the tides of war with a pair of
murloc-ified faction leaders: Finduin (for Alliance heroes) and
Gillvanas (for the Horde). Plus, bundle up for your next trip to
the icy mountains with the whimsical Wendigo Woolies transmog
outfit. Available in-game starting today!
- Overwatch: Commemorate 25 years of Azeroth as you fight
for future Earth with a pair of Warcraft-themed legendary Overwatch
skins. Prepare to seek vengeance as Illidan Genji, and call upon
the (hard-)light of Elune as Tyrande Symmetra. In-game before
BlizzCon!
- Hearthstone: Celebrate the excitement of BlizzCon the
next time you sit down for a duel with the BlizzCon 2019 Card Back.
Then prepare to claim a mysterious Golden Legendary card, to be
revealed at BlizzCon. In-game after BlizzCon!*
- Heroes of the Storm: Make your mark in the Nexus with a
commemorative BlizzCon spray and portrait, and ride into battle on
the Celestial Deepcrawler mount. It may not look dangerous, but
those claws can give you a nasty pinch . . . or wipe out all life
on your planet. Available in-game starting today!
- StarCraft II: Equip a trio of Brood War®–era unit skins
and portraits the next time you go into battle. Scout for a zerg
ambush aboard the Classic Battlecruiser, hunt your prey with the

Classic Carrier. Available in-game starting today!

works, including a pair of commemorative wings for Diablo III
players (PC/Mac version only)*—stay tuned for more details on this
year’s legendary haul.
