As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of Warcraft under my belt, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming 30th Anniversary Direct! Ever since I first ventured into Azeroth back in ’04, Warcraft has been an integral part of my gaming life, and this milestone is a testament to its enduring impact.


Yesterday, right after the unveiling of the 20th Anniversary update for World of Warcraft, Blizzard shared some exciting news: a special Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct livestream is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13. Additionally, they teased that there would be updates for World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble during this broadcast. I can’t wait to see what they have in store!

The special event for Warcraft, marking its 30th anniversary, will be held during the usual time when Blizzard organizes its BlizzCon fan gathering in Anaheim. This event typically takes place once every one to two years, and it’s known for unveiling updates and new games such as World of Warcraft and Overwatch 2. However, after a 2023 convention where several announcements were made, including The Worldsoul Saga for World of Warcraft, Blizzard opted not to host BlizzCon in 2024. Instead, the company attended events like Gamescom 2024 and used its social media platforms to make their reveals. To reassure fans, Blizzard confirmed that BlizzCon would resume in future years.

The 20th Anniversary celebration for the popular game “World of Warcraft” is currently ongoing in-game, and Blizzard has announced that fans won’t have to wait much longer for updates on the series. On Wednesday, November 13, at 1:00 PM Eastern, a special broadcast titled “Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct” will go live simultaneously across World of Warcraft’s official Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok channels. During this event, Blizzard plans to share news about World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble, as well as a retrospective look at the origins of the Warcraft franchise. Following the stream, a concert called “World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music” will take place, featuring an ensemble of 190 performers and songs from World of Warcraft and its expansions.

When Is the Warcraft Direct Happening?

At the time of writing, the duration of the Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct wasn’t specified. The presentation only mentioned three games, but Blizzard hinted at potential surprises in store. Although Warcraft 3: Reforged had a brief 2.0 build on the public test realm (PTR), it’s uncertain if this will be part of the Warcraft Direct.

Not only were announcements made, but Blizzard also revealed that viewers can secure rewards in games like Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and World of Warcraft just by watching the Warcraft Direct for a specified duration. Despite experiencing highs and lows over three decades, it remains to be seen what the upcoming decades will bring for the Warcraft franchise.
