Blizzard will be hosting the Battle.net World Championships this year in Asia, launching Diablo 3, Mists Of Pandaria and the first StarCraft 2 expansion, maybe even going to Bed, Bath & Beyond if they have enough time, I don’t know.

But one thing that we do know is that because of their full schedule there will be no Blizzcon this year.

In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013.

Hmm, so does that mean we’ll get no new info about the Titan MMO project either? Or perhaps we’ll see Blizzard at E3? I had predicted Blizzard would reveal what Titan is in 2012, but now with Blizzcon canceled, I don’t know. We’ll see.

Less than an hour ago Blizzard officially announced the new World of Warcraft expansion, Mists of Pandaria, and now we have the first preview trailer for you straight from Blizzcon.

Is it just me or does this trailer scream Kung-Fu Panda? Serious Blizzard, Pandas doing Kung-Fu? Lame!

Blizzard just released the Diablo 3 Black Soulstone cinematic trailer from Blizzcon. It seems we have a new villain, Azmodan, the Lord of Sin, who is bent on destroying the world.

As Deckard Cain’s niece, Leah, struggles to make sense of her uncle’s mysterious and disturbing notations, she bears witness to a dark vision. Azmodan, Lord of Sin, towers over the fragile young woman, swearing his armies of the burning Hells shall pour forth into Sanctuary, ravishing the world and all hope of resistance.

The Diablo III Black Soulstone cinematic trailer is below.

Blizzcon just started, but we’ve already been flooded with breaking news about Diablo III, Blizzard’s DotA and now the newest expansion to World of Warcraft called Mist of Pandaria. While the expansion title might have been leaked out months ago through a trademark, here’s what we’ve learned so far.

This next expansion is set in a place that’s been lost to time for 10,000 years. A land of balance, harmony, beauty and hope until WE arrive.

The real enemy, the true villain of the franchise is going to be war itself.

Below are the details so far released at Blizzcon:

• Level cap increase to 90
• Pet Battle system with Panda-like creatures
• Monk class added
• New Pandaren race
• New continent Pandaria
• PvE Scenarios
• New Talent System

No release date has been mentioned yet, however we’ll continue to update this thread with more information about Mist of Pandaria as it’s announced.

If you needed any more confirmation that the MOBA genre is hot, then look no further than Blizzard Dota. For some reason this title got completely by me last year and I thought this was a newly announced game, however it’s not.

Blizzard DOTA will take some of Blizzards more famous characters from its most popular franchises and let players battle it out MOBA style. The backstory is that two gods, one blue and one read have been fighting each other for all of time, so to settle things, they each summon characters from various universes and pit them against each other.

Check out the preview trailer for Blizzard DOTA below.

Blizzcon has kicked off and the first big piece of news has been released. It seems Diablo 3 will be free for all World of Warcraft players who commit to a 12 month subscription through the WoW Annual Pass. Also included is an in-game mount called Tyreal’s Charger.

Also revealed is the box art and collectors edition, detailing all the goodies that will be included which you can view below. I’m not sure why a WoW pet is included, I guess they really want to get D3 players playing both games.
