The annual Blizzard Fan Convention, the BlizzCon 2018, is officially underway. The opening ceremony took place today. It serves as a press conference to the company, which tends to do a lot of its big ads for the year. The ceremony is now over, but it all started with a comforting moment while former Blizzard President Mike Morhaime held a meeting with all these events before giving way to his successor, J Allen Brack.
Below we have also gathered all the key information that Blizzard shared. Although there is probably nothing huge to share over the weekend – the big news usually arrives at the opening ceremony – we will report with any other new, with interviews and more.

Heroes Of The Storm – Orphea Game Projector | Blizzcon 2018
Please use a html5 compatible video browser to watch videos.

Heroes of the Storm is expanding with a wide variety of content, much of which will arrive in 2019. But the most notable among the revelations of the BlizzCon game is that of a new character, Orphea. Significantly, it's an original character for HotS – the very first to be designed for the game, rather than being imported from another Blizzard franchise.
Destiny 2 becomes free on PC (for the moment)
Just before the opening ceremony, Activision announced that the download of Destiny 2 on PC, available via the Blizzard Battle.net client, is now free. This is not a permanent change, but if you claim it before it returns to its normal price, you can keep it permanently. You will need to buy the Forsaken downloadable content to make the most of it, but it is still a freebie.
Lúcio-Ohs
During the segment of the pre-opening ceremony, Blizzard has confirmed its willingness to publish a breakfast cereal based on Overwatch in partnership with Kellogg's. He plays on a game joke himself and calls himself Lucio-Ohs. You can see it in the video below.
WoW Classic Release
World of Warcraft Classic is playable for BlizzCon participants and a demonstration is underway for virtual ticket holders. For all others, WoW Classic will be available in the summer of 2019. It will be available with a standard subscription to WoW.
