Blizzcon, one of the biggest events in the gaming world is right around the corner. And while physical tickets may be hard to come by, virtual tickets have made a return. These virtual bundles give Blizzard fans from across the planet access to the festivities. Being held in Anaheim, California, it is set to be another show packed with the latest about titles from Overwatch to World of Warcraft. The $50 bundle grants access to high-quality streams, in-game goodies, and even bonus content.

Those who purchase virtual tickets will gain access to in-depth live coverage on November 1st and 2nd. These streams include not only larger convention events, but also panels with developers and some of the voice actors behind our favorite characters, and even contests. For those not in the United States, streams will, of course, follow a Pacific standard schedule, and there will be available localized content in various languages.

While virtual attendees won’t be making off with any physical swag from the show floor, they can still show off their exclusive digital content across Blizzard’s many virtual worlds. If exclusive in-game loot is what you’re after, it might also be a good idea to check the terms and platform availability of some of those items. Blizzard was kind enough to lay out some of the items virtual pass holders can expect, with more on the way.

The BlizzCon 2019 virtual ticket rewards include:

  • World of Warcraft fans can look forward to an all-new Wendigo Woolies transmog outfit, as well as Murloc themed skins for their faction leaders! It should be noted that these digital items cannot be used in Classic play.
  • Overwatch players will be treated to two new legendary skins in the form of Illidan Genji and Tyrande Symmetra.
  • Players who frequent the Hearthstone tavern are in for a surprise, as a new golden legendary card will be revealed at the show. This mysterious new card will only be available for virtual ticket holders.
  • Heroes of the Storm players can take to the battlefield with a commemorative BlizzCon 2019 spray and portrait. You’ll also be able to take the fight to the enemy on an exclusive Deepcrawler mount.
  • StarCraft II fans can let their fan flag fly with Brood War-era skins and portraits.
  • Diablo 3 players can expect BlizzCon 2019 wings and more. This comes with a rather large caveat, as promotional items for Diablo 3 will ONLY be redeemable on PC.

Virtual Tickets are available for purchase directly from Blizzard’s main site, for $49.99. There is a limit of 1 ticket per Blizzard account. And while these tickets won’t sell out, it’s best to get yours soon and mark your calendars for November 1st and 2nd.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.
Claude website open on laptop

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
