Warcraft Universe Turns 30, Gets Anniversary Direct on November 13

For those who are a fan of the Warcraft universe, you’ll have something truly special to look forward to. The Warcraft universe has officially turned 30, with many celebrations kicking off in games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Warcraft Rumble. To celebrate the 30th anniversary, there will be a Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct, which will showcase what is next for the universe. The Direct will be available to watch on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.

If you’re eagerly counting down the days until then, you’ll have to wait until  11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 6 PM GMT to find out what’s in store for the franchise. Luckily, there are plenty of events in-game currently underway, with a huge World of Warcraft 20th Anniversary Celebration, which can net you tons of cool rewards. This includes transmogs, cosmetics, a new mount, and new and improved expanded events that take you back in time to celebrate the rich history of World of Warcraft.

For those who are playing Hearthstone or Warcraft Rumble, there is plenty in store for you, too. Those with their accounts linked to Battle.net will be able to get rewards for watching the live stream. At the moment, the rewards are being kept secret, but they will be revealed soon on the official sites, according to the blog post on the Blizzard website.

The World of Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct will also include a special 20th Anniversary concert broadcast straight after the event, celebrating 20 years of music from the game. This event was produced by Helvepic and was filmed live in Switzerland. The concert is being performed by the 21st Century Orchestra and three additional choirs: Tales of Fantasy, Ardito, and the Madrijazz Gospel. All of the people in this event bring the number to a total of 190 performers to make a spine-tingling, immersive performance of some of the most iconic tracks from World of Warcraft.

Although Blizzard has announced the event, it’s not been specified what sort of things will be mentioned in the event, but it’s possible it will talk about what comes next in World of Warcraft, such as new Raids and Dungeons, as is the typical route after a new expansion release. Players have had many opportunities to be able to beat the new Raid on any difficulty, with plenty of players still working to get their rating up in PvP and Mythic+ Dungeons.

Likely, there will also be new content for Warcraft Rumble, including new levels, layouts, and characters to unlock and use in your arsenal. We’ll have to wait and see.
