A Blizzard bejelentette az idei Blizzcon 2013 időpontját, mely nov. 8-9-ére esik. A helyszín továbbra is a kalifoniai Anaheim Convention Center, ahol a Blizzard várhatóan a már megjelent és készülőben lévő játékairól tart egy kiadós dzsembörit. Remélhetőleg a Diablo 3 kiegészítőjéről ill. a titokzatos “Titan” projektről is fellebbentik a fátylat.
