Take a look at the best cosplay we found at BlizzCon 2018.

Cosplay is a big part of video game conventions and BlizzCon is no different. Every year, tens of thousands of fans show up to celebrate their favorite Blizzard games. Many come dressed up as their favorite characters, having planned and prepare all year long so that when the time arrives, they can stun fellow fans with their costumes.

Everyone has their own way of expressing their love for their favorite Blizzard heroes, villains, and everything in between. Maybe it’s a casual costume with a onesie or a bodysuit. Maybe it’s a full suit of armor with elaborate makeup and special effects. Some even go as far as to take on the demeanors of the characters they’re portraying. However you choose to show your appreciation, you’re sure to find people who want to capture the moment in a video or a picture.

Blizzard understands this, so every year at BlizzCon, they hold a cosplay exhibition, showing off the most spectacular cosplays at the convention. It’s a wonderful sight to see and it’s a show that many fans and viewers from home look forward to watching every year. It’s also pretty cool to see cosplayers in their natural environment on the showroom floor or just outside hanging out with friends and other cosplayers. That’s where we got to capture some of the best cosplay at BlizzCon 2018.

Digital Trends was in attendance this year and we took pictures of all the awesome cosplay we saw so we could share with the fans that couldn’t make it to the convention this year. We found everything from cosplay of World of Warcraft and Diablo characters to heroes in Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm. There was no shortage of fans that suited up this year, bringing everyone’s favorite Blizzard characters to life. 

If you are one of the cosplayers displayed in these photos, please contact us at fmiranda@digitaltrends.com so we can give you proper credit for your cosplay!

Beyond GTA VI: Why 2026 might be gaming’s best year yet
GTA VI has been stealing the spotlight. I don't think it deserves all of it.

There is little doubt that Grand Theft Auto VI will be the biggest game of 2026, and potentially the biggest entertainment release of the year. With Rockstar finally set to launch it on November 19, the gaming world has spent years waiting for Vice City to make its return, and I’m no different. But the more games I’ve played this year, and the more I look at what’s still coming, the more I think we’re viewing 2026 through the wrong lens.

Because GTA VI isn't what makes this year special. It's everything around it.

Samsung TVs and Displays Gamescom 2026 HDR10 GAMING Call of Duty Modern Warfare

Anyone who bought Samsung's pricey Odyssey series of ultra-wide monitors just found another reason to fill up every inch of it. Samsung has become the official TV, monitor, soundbar, and Wi-Fi speaker partner for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, with Activision and Samsung integrating HDR10+ Gaming into the upcoming shooter.

This isn't just a simple partnership that brings some cool stickers or logos either; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will officially launch with support for a 32:9 aspect ratio. It gives Odyssey G9 owners a considerably wider view of the battlefield.

MelGeek MADE68 Ultra V2 Review: Great for gaming, even better than I expected for typing
Rapid Trigger is great, but the switches and acoustics are what won me over.
Melgeek Mate 68 Ultra V2 on a desk

I have spent years using mechanical keyboards, and Hall Effect switches never really tempted me away from them. I understood the gaming appeal. Adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger can make a meaningful difference in competitive games, but I also spend hours every day writing. Typing experience matters just as much to me.

The $219 MelGeek MADE68 Ultra V2 has made that distinction considerably harder to maintain.
