Blizzard 2013 San Diego Comic-Con Schedule

San Diego Comic Con

Check out Blizzard’s San Diego Comic-Con schedule of events including panels, booth activities, and partner shenanigans. Copies of your favorite Blizzard books will be available for purchase at the booth—don’t forget to get yours signed by our featured guests at the times listed below. Look for us at booth #115, and be sure to get there early before everything is gone!

In addition to signings, the Blizzard booth will also be hosting the ‘Epic Quest of Epicness,’ your chance to score an elusive Epic Purple Lanyard!

HOW TO PLAY: Stop by any one of our partner booths during the event, take a pic of an upcoming Blizzard item and authenticate that shot with us during our designated times. Legit shots will earn* lanyards! It’s as simple as that.

*Limit one per attendee. Lanyard quantities limited per day; first come first serve.
