World of Warcraft Classic demo will be part of BlizzCon Virtual Ticket

Blizzard Entertainment announced today that those who buy a BlizzCon 2018 Virtual Ticket will have access to a demo version of World of Warcraft Classic, which re-creates the popular World of Warcraft as it was before the release of any expansions.

BlizzCon 2018 takes place from November 2 to November 3 in Anaheim, California. The demo, which will include a Horde and Alliance starting area, will be playable for attendees. But those at home who buy the $50 Virtual Ticket will be able to download the demo, which they can then access until November 8 at approximately 10 a.m. Pacific. The Virtual Ticket also gives buyers access to streams of BlizzCon events and in-game items in titles like Overwatch and World of Warcraft.
