Official BlizzCon FAQOfficial briefing
What we know—and what we do not
Confirmed facts, open questions, and explicit evidence limits—without treating unofficial schedules as fact.
Original source: Blizzard announcement
The online broadcast is free
Blizzard confirms selected programming will stream free. The official WoW YouTube reward window runs from 12 September at 09:30 PDT through 13 September at 19:00 PDT.
Does not establish
A reward window does not mean every stage item is streamed on that channel; Blizzard says programming varies by channel.
Opening Ceremony with major announcements
The official event page says the Opening Ceremony starts the weekend and will feature major announcements.
Does not establish
Blizzard does not assign those announcements to Classic, retail WoW, or any other franchise in advance.
World of Warcraft will be playable on the show floor
World of Warcraft is one of the games explicitly named for hands-on gameplay at the event.
Does not establish
The official page does not identify the playable build as Classic, Classic+, or a new product.
The World of Warcraft panel schedule is published
The 3 September source check found dated listings for the Opening Ceremony, two “What’s Next” sessions, six further WoW panels, a developer-and-creator showcase, and a separate Hardcore “What’s Next” panel.
Does not establish
Blizzard marks times and programming as subject to change, and the titles do not disclose panel content in advance.
No official Classic+ reveal is promised
The official schedule inspected on 3 September names two general WoW “What’s Next” panels and a separate Hardcore session, but no product titled Classic Plus.
Does not establish
Absence from the current pages does not prove that no surprise announcement will occur.
