Blizzard Announces Gamescom Lineup
Today the game company unveiled their entire schedule for the game conference, which will take place in Cologne, Germany, from August 15th to 19th.
The highlight for many fans will be on Thursday, August 16th, when Blizzard unveils the opening cinematic to the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria expansion as well as a hands-on demo that will be accessible through the conference. Starcraft fans will be happy to know that the multiplayer mode for Heart of the Swarm will be open for visitors to the Blizzard booth, as well as the opportunity to play the recently released Diablo III.
In addition to these events, there are also several smaller activities, including:
- Blizzard developer signings
- Professional Starcraft II showmatches
- Opportunity to watch top guilds raid in World of Warcraft
- The chance to hear an orchestra perform live some of Blizzards best music
- The annual Blizzard costume and dance competition
- The chance to take part in quizzes and giveaways throughout the event

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
