WoW Weekly: BlizzCon Returns in 2026, and More!

BlizzCon Returns In 2026

In 2026, the ultimate celebration of our games and the community that unites us will return to the Anaheim Convention Center on Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13.

We’ve come a long way since our first event in 2005. Over the past nearly 20 years since its inception, BlizzCon has inspired us to innovate, push the boundaries of creativity, and deliver once-in-a-lifetime moments. It’s important that we put on an event worthy of our community. For 2026, alongside BlizzCon staples like the Opening Ceremony, in-depth panels, the Darkmoon Faire, friendly competition, hands-on gameplay, and more, we aim to meaningfully elevate this iconic celebration and create an unforgettable experience for all who take part in it. We are building this event just like we build our games: with a deep commitment to our players, with respect for your connections to our universes, and as a celebration of the strength of the bonds formed through shared adventure.

The road to BlizzCon starts here. We can’t wait to share more with you as our plans take shape.

Azeroth Beautiful: A Look at Housing Interior Design

Welcome home, Adventurers!

In our previous Housing article, we shared a high-level overview of our plans and philosophies. This time around, we are getting concrete and discussing specifics for decoration systems. It allows us to not only show off some of what’s possible but also to answer some of the common questions and concerns we’ve seen come up from the community.

A couple disclaimers:

  1. Our article only focuses on interior decoration systems and only in a single room. There’s still plenty to cover beyond the basics of decoration, but that’s for another time.
  2. We’re going to show you a lot of work-in-progress assets and UIs as well as using some terms that are not finalized, so please focus more on the functionality and less on the details of just how specific things look or sound just yet.

With that out of the way, let’s talk about decoration in Housing—head over to our previously published article.

Jazz up Your Life with the Undermine(d) Soundtrack!

Track Listing: 1. Hard Times in Undermine, 2. Vatworks Vibes, 3. Mixin' it Up, 4. Burnin' it Down, 5. Trouble's Coming, 6. Blackwater Ballyhoo, 7. License to Drift, 8. Old Times, 9. Out of Your Reach, 10. Junk and Jam, 11. Shine and Rust

Get into the mood when big-band jazz riffs meet classic WoW orchestration when you swing into the Undermine with the new soundtrack.

World of Warcraft: Undermine(d) brings the music of Azeroth’s most unpredictable entrepreneurs to life. Set in the bustling, danger-filled depths of Undermine, this album is a thrilling blend of industrial chaos, cavernous mystery, and the evolving goblin musical style—now jazzier than ever.

Over the years, goblin themes have embraced a swaggering, improvisational energy, and Undermine(d) takes that evolution further with brassy, syncopated rhythms, lively clarinets, and a fusion of big-band jazz and classic WoW orchestration. Blizzard composers Leo Kaliski, Adam Burgess, and Jake Lefkowitz, along with contributions from David Arkenstone, Peter McConnell, Chris McDonald, and Dan Rudin, have crafted tracks that capture the cutthroat, profit-driven world of goblin society, from neon-lit speakeasies to explosive subterranean showdowns.

Listen anywhere you go on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, and YouTube Music.
