This year's convention will be held on October 10 and 11 and will be set in the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. An extra convention hall will be used this year to accommodate the growing number of attendees.

Past Blizzcons have included a variety of activities, ranging from demos of upcoming Blizzard games to tournaments to panels of developers discussing topics such as MMO design, and this year promises to be no different. A number of other activities, such as a silent auction, are also planned.

Fans are also expecting Blizzard to announce the development of Diablo 3, the long-awaited next iteration in one of PC gaming's most beloved franchises. This stems from the reports that Blizzard has acquired the diablo3.com domain name. With Starcraft II and the next WoW expansion nearing release, it wouldn't be surprising to see Blizzard at least announce the game's existence. ]]> Tue, 13 May 2008 20:51:58 -0500
