For over a decade, gamers have descended upon Anaheim, California for the annual BlizzCon event, which brings together the overlapping communities of Warcraft, StarCraft, Overwatch, Diablo, and other Blizzard franchises. Think of it as a Comic Con-like event that is very laser-focused on its fandom. Naturally, the cosplayers come out in force. The amount of intricate builds at the convention is astounding, as you can see in an extended video recap by Mineralblu Photography.
Among the cosplay highlights were a Heroes of the Storm D.Va variant, Doomfist, and an official cosplayer who captured Moira’s look from Overwatch with stunning precision. There were far too many great costumes to call out all of them, but it’s a testament to the artistry of the fans that many cosplay enthusiasts could easily be mistaken for some of the professionals within their ranks. We can’t even begin to imagine the amount of EVA foam that went into all the armor.
In addition to capturing closer looks at each cosplayer, Mineralblu also explored other areas of BlizzCon, including the massive Warcraft diorama that claimed a Guinness World Record. From there, the video depicted some of the memorable moments from the Overwatch World Cup, which had an enthusiastic crowd on hand to watch the best players compete.
