Blizzard announces BlizzCon 2015, saying the next gathering of fans of their games will take place November 6–7 in the Anaheim Convention Center. Tickets will go on sale next month, and there will once again be the opportunity to view this though live streams via a virtual ticket. There will probably be announcements of more festivities between now and when ticket sales begin, but in the meantime, here's word:

• In-depth discussion panels with Blizzard game developers and artists
• Community contests with great prizes
• Commemorative merchandise based on Blizzard’s game universes
• More activities and attractions to be announced
