Blizzard just announced the schedule of its upcoming 30th Anniversary Direct which the company said will include moments that you "won't want to miss."
The stream will kick off on Nov. 13, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. GMT / 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT. The announcement noted that this marks a momentous year for the Warcraft universe. Blizzard also noted that no matter what kind of a Warcraft fan you are, the stream will have something for everyone.
Blizzard's 30th Anniversary Direct
After that particular stream, the studio will hold a 20th-anniversary concert to celebrate two decades of World of Warcraft music. The game's The War Within expansion launched earlier this year and comes as the first in a trilogy of new major updates.
The second in line is World of Warcraft: Midnight and the last is World of Warcraft: The Last Titan. Despite the tease, there is currently no information on what Blizzard's 30th Anniversary Direct will reveal for the franchise, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.

Some people think that the stream will be a nod to everything from Warcraft: Orcs and Humans to the recent Warcraft Rumble. The fact that the studio is hyping up the event makes fans hopeful for news about a potential World of Warcraft 2.
Others are speculating that Blizzard is getting ready to announce an expansion or something new for Hearthstone. With regard to the music event, the description suggests that it is a live performance that was pre-recorded.
Potential Major Announcements
It is believed to have been filmed in Switzerland involving the 21st Century Orchestra and features three choirs. These are Tale of Fantasy, Ardito, and the Madrijazz Gospel. Blizzard said that it is an ensemble that includes 190 performers, Yahoo said.
Players who participate in the event can earn in-game rewards for Hearthstone, Warcraft Rumble, and World of Warcraft. This gives fans even more reason to watch the stream on top of potential announcements.
The event comes as Blizzard has recently been the focus of the news following the release of Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier's Play Nice book. It documented the history of the company and detailed various issues that it faced.
The book also squashed any hopes that fans had about the upcoming stream revealing Warcraft IV. This is because Blizzard is apparently not focused on working on real-time-strategy games at the moment, according to IGN.
