BlizzCon 2018 is one of the premiere events each year for the millions of Blizzard fans from across the globe. This year will of course be no different, as we found out when we sat down to chat with BlizzCon executive producer Saralyn Smith. Oh, and in case you were wondering the first free in-game item for attendees and Virtual Ticket holders will be a legendary Overwatch skin.


This year the BlizzCon season begins on September 13 with a special “BlizzCon All-Access Kickoff Show” Livestream for Virtual Ticket holders. Where the first in-game reward in the form of a legendary Overwatch skin will be available to viewers and BlizzCon attendees. Naturally, the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket isn’t free but a lot of BlizzCon – from the opening ceremony to the esports competitions that will be broadcast worldwide – will be.
