BlizzCon 2011 is just around the corner! Attendees are starting to pick up their badges and goody bags this afternoon -- including the cards to redeem for this year's World of Warcraft in-game pet and top-secret StarCraft II in-game gifts -- so we wanted to give you a heads up about when to expect this year's items to show up in-game.

  • Murkablo, this year's World of Warcraft in-game pet, will be available in-game on Thursday, October 20.

  • The StarCraft II portrait and decal will be available in next StarCraft II patch (patch 1.4.2), estimated to be released in early November.


Attendees who picked up their goody bags can redeem the codes from their cards now, and the pet, portrait, and decal will automatically appear in the games attached to their Battle.net account at the times above. People who bought the Virtual Ticket will automatically receive their gifts at these times, too.
