BlizzCon® 2008 Gaming Convention Begins This Week

IRVINE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.’s
two-day gaming festival, BlizzCon® 2008, begins on Friday, October 10,
at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. The convention
celebrates the communities of players surrounding Blizzard
Entertainment®’s Warcraft®, StarCraft®, and Diablo® game universes.
Attendees of the sold-out show will be able to play the latest versions
of Blizzard Entertainment games as well as speak with developers in
special panels, participate in tournaments and contests, and meet with
fellow gamers and friends.

Jay Mohr has returned to host the live contests this year, and the
show will close on Saturday evening with an epic concert featuring
comedian Patton Oswalt, Blizzard’s own Warcraft-themed metal band Level
80 Elite Tauren Chieftain, and Video Games Live, who will be performing
special orchestral arrangements of music from Blizzard games.

“With more hall space, more attendees, and more attractions, this
BlizzCon will be our biggest yet,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and
cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re working hard with our
partners to make this an unforgettable experience, and we’re looking
forward to meeting players at the show.”

For those unable to attend, DIRECTV® will be broadcasting the
convention live as a pay-per-view event. Visit
www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/dtv for more information. In addition,
up-to-date show coverage will be posted at the official BlizzCon
website, www.blizzcon.com.

Anyone attending BlizzCon who is interested in pursuing career
opportunities at Blizzard Entertainment should bring their resumes,
demo reels, art portfolios, or business cards, as the global staffing
team will be on hand to accept materials and discuss any job-related
questions.

BlizzCon would not be possible without the enthusiasm of Blizzard
gamers around the world and the generous support of AMD, Dell®,
DIRECTV, Intel®, and other sponsors.
