Anniversary Celebrations at BlizzCon 2016
by Its_Immanis - 8 years ago show comments
At BlizzCon 2016 Blizzard will be celebrating two different anniversaries. The first is the 25th year of the company which was founded in 1991. The second anniversary being celebrated is the 20th anniversary of the Diablo franchise, the first installment of which was released in 1996.
As a way to mark both of these epic events Blizzard will be hosting a party in the Grand Plaza (outside the Convention Center) on Friday November 4th from 8pm until 10pm. Since the event is happening outside the Convention Center it will be open to anyone and everyone. There will be plenty of food vendors, specially themed drinks, live entertainment (BlizzCon Talent Contest winners Songhammer) and even “a surprise or two”.
For the full details check out the BlizzCon 2016 page or the post below:
25 years ago, a small group of gamers set out to create the kinds of game experiences they loved playing—and Blizzard Entertainment was born. Since then, the team at Blizzard has transported millions of people around the world to fantastic worlds of fantasy and science fiction—including Diablo’s Sanctuary, which first invited players to descend into the terrifying labyrinth beneath the Tristram Cathedral 20 years ago in 1996!
Please join us in celebrating these anniversaries on Friday, November 4 from 8 p.m. until 10 p.m. in the Grand Plaza outside the Anaheim Convention Center during BlizzCon 2016. This event is open to everyone, whether you’re attending the convention or just happen to be in the neighborhood, and admission is free.
