BlizzCon ran September 12 and 13 at the Anaheim Convention Center, closing a two-day event held for the first time in three years. The show covered news for Diablo, Overwatch, StarCraft, World of Warcraft and Hearthstone, with YOASOBI playing a mini-live as the Overwatch World Cup halftime show and LE SSERAFIM holding a concert on the main stage after the closing remarks.
Blizzard's fan event returned to the Anaheim Convention Center on September 12 and 13, three years after the last one. The opening ceremony carried the announcements, and the report from the floor describes a bag-check line already formed on the morning of day one, long enough that the writer compared it to Comiket.
The guest slots went to music: YOASOBI played a mini-live as the Overwatch World Cup halftime show, and LE SSERAFIM performed on the main stage after the closing remarks.
