Playable versions of Diablo III, StarCraft II, and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King were available for patrons to test for the length of the convention. As well, there were tournaments and competitions for the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, World of Warcraft miniatures game, StarCraft, StarCraft II, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, and World of Warcraft arena. The Zerg race was now playable in the StarCraft II demos.
As a major announce, Blizzard announced in a Starcraft II conference that the game will be released as a trilogy, each release following the story of one of the three races and covering around 30 missions, but any of the copies will be enough to play the full version of the multi-player game.
For the closing ceremonies on Saturday, Blizzard CEO Paul Sams thanked everyone for coming. After that, comedians Kyle Kinane and Patton Oswalt entertained the audience before Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain came on stage for their performance. Closing out the night was Video Games Live, playing arrangements from all of the Blizzard games, and a brand new performance including the Wrath of the Lich King music.
BlizzCon 2008 was broadcast live on both days as a PPV event, for eight hours per day in high definition. Official Blizzard fansite WoW Radio broadcasted live audio via shoutcast.
