Blizzard (and LoreHound!) Attending PAX East

27 February 2013 | No Comments » | iTZKooPA

Alright, fine. We’re hijacking this bit of news in a self-serving interest. Wanna fight about it? You do? Crap…how about I buy you a drink instead? Now that my wallet’s lighter, back to the news. And it really is news!

Blizzard Entertainment has reportedly announced that the company will be attending Penny Arcade Expo East, the annual gathering of everything nerd in Boston. It’s noteworthy because the company rarely ventures outside of its own venue, BlizzCon, these days. Even routinely skipping E3. Perhaps skipping BlizzCon 2012 has given the company some motive. Or, as most people are assuming, Blizzard wants to begin putting Diablo III for PS3/4 into the hands of consumers!

The catch there is we already knew that’d be shown at PAX East. As GameFront pointed out, the email is more mysterious, referring to the “new Blizzard project” that isn’t an expansion, Project Titan or a sequel. Blizzard All-Stars mayhaps?

Whatever it is, the traveling Lore Hound crew will have it covered for you!

Yeap, We’ll be at PAX East!

Lore Hound will be out in force this weekend at PAX East. If you’re attending the show, feel free to run up to anyone in a Lore Hound t-shirt – seen here – and high five us. We’ll be covering show – interviews, previews, first looks and wielding hard-hitting questions – like always. Perhaps you should wait until we finish whatever we may be doing before laying a five-finger salute on us.

PAX East is much bigger than the inaugural show last year. This showgoer hopes the new venue includes additional urination stations and a better floor plan (bottlenecks are bad at tradeshows).

We’ve a full schedule on our hands including (in no particular order):

  • Guild Wars 2 - which ArenaNet promises big reveals
  • Star Wars: The Old Republic
  • Orcs Must Die!
  • Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited
  • Lord of the Rings Online
  • Vindictus
  • Cryptozoic
  • and many more…
