Dates set for BlizzCon 2008

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that the third annual BlizzCon convention will take place from October 10-11 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet and greet Blizzard developers, play upcoming Blizzard titles - including the Wrath of the Lich King expansion - attend discussion panels and enter tournaments and costume contests.

Blizzard has used prior events to give gamers early peeks at upcoming products, although nothing has specifically been announced for this year's show.

Last year's BlizzCon sold out. Blizzard has said that the space allotted to the 2008 event will be expanded from two to three halls of the convention center.

Tickets go on sale soon priced at USD 100.
