San Diego Comic-Con International is already releasing its lineup of events for this year’s convention. The program of events will include Blizzard Entertainment and a panel with Chris Metzen. The panel is named Blizzard Entertainment Showcase and will be showcased on Thursday, July 24 from 2:15-3:15pm in Room 6BCF. This panel is dedicated to Blizzard merchandise and licensed products. It also includes information about up and coming projects and a Q&A session.
Another panel of Legendary Pictures is all set to present their upcoming slew of feature films in Hall H from 12:25-1:10pm. Last year, director Duncan Jones sowed off a “mood piece” for his latest Warcraft film.
