These bundles are available Wow Mounts, pets, Diablo 3 Emblems and wings, Stars ship 2 Emblems, Hearth stone Card packages and more. Fans can already purchase these bundles, although some items won’t appear until later this month.

Blizzard has not released a full BlizzConline schedule. The release of the BlizzCon schedule is always a popular day for speculation as fans try to use secret panels to guess which games the studio might be announcing. Blizzard will announce the schedule before BlizzConline, although no specific date has been given.
