BlizzCon 2016 Virtual Goody Sneak Peek

by - 8 years ago

Blizzard is offering up a sneak peek at some of the virtual goodies given to players who attend BlizzCon in person or via the virtual ticket.

Similar to prior years, the virtual ticket includes items for all of Blizzard’s games, though they’re keeping a lid on one of the StarCraft II items available this year. The post indicates that it is some sort of content for StarCraft II but doesn’t provide any additional information beyond that.

This years items revealed so far include two World of Warcraft in-game murloc pets (one for Alliance, one for Horde), a Bastion skin for Overwatch, a Diablo in-game pet celebrating the 20th anniversary of the franchise, a Hearthstone card back, a Nexus Tiger mount for Heroes of the Storm, as well as a picture and the aforementioned secret SCII goodies.

It’s possible that there could be additional items revealed at the show (the Heroes of the Storm hero Cho’Gall was announced during last year’s show and given to attendees as a part of the virtual ticket) but of course we won’t know about those items until they are announced.

Let us know what your favorite item is so far or speculate on the secret goodies down in the comments, on Facebook, or on Twitter!
