World of Warcraft at PAX East 2025

Blizzard Entertainment will head to Boston, MA soon. According to the official PAX East 2025 schedule, there will be a special panel on May 9 between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. local time. Taking place in the main theater of the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, this panel will have WoW community manager Bethany Stout host a talk about what has brought Azeroth to life over the past 20 years.

Meanwhile, associate game directors Jeremy Feasel and Paul Kubit, associate design director Maria Hamilton, and principal game designer Jesse Kurlancheek will take attendees on a journey through Azeroth's past, present, and future. This means the panel will likely mention the upcoming WoW housing feature slated for WoW Midnight.

Notably, the upcoming Warcraft 30 World Tour event in Boston will align nicely with the PAX East weekend as well. This anniversary event will happen on May 10 starting at 7 p.m. local time at the Royale Boston venue, which is about a 13-minute car ride from the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

In terms of what to expect, the evening will include live entertainment, opportunities to meet Warcraft developers, and more.

Last month, in Toronto's version of the anniversary event, attendees got to enjoy Horde and Alliance-themed drinks and food, admire cosplayers of the Dragon Aspects, and sign a giant traveling guestbook. Therefore, it's possible that Warcraft 30 World Tour Boston will offer a similar experience.

That's all for now. Are you excited for PAX East 2025? How about celebrating 30 years of Warcraft with fellow players in real life? For more news and updates, stick around on esports.gg.
