The years exodus to the mecca for all things Blizzard will be occuring from August 21st to the 23rd in Aneheim, CA. In a press release sent to us today, Blizzard has sprinkled the date for its hordes of fans to start booking their hotel rooms and flights. I hope that this year the give out some awesome, exclusive pet for World of Warcaft, so the greedy fanboys and girls that can’t go to the show, can spend thousands on them. The real reason I am excited for the event is for news on the other titles, Starcraft II, Diablo III and Blizzard’s unnanounced MMO. I have posted the press release below:
