It is that time of the year again for the annual BlizzCon 2014 convention date hosted by Blizzard Entertainment to celebrate and promote its major titles.

Guests are in for a treat this year as the BlizzCon 2014 team reveals a "loot explosion."

"It's time to take a sneak peek at this year's BlizzCon in-game goodies for World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, and the upcoming Heroes of the Storm—they're yours whether you're attending the show in person or watching from home with the Virtual Ticket," teased the website.

Among the BlizzCon loot, World of Warcraft players get the Grommloc pet while fans of Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft receive a commemorative card (Blizzard 2014 Card Back) with the Blizzard's courtyard design.

Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo communities are coming together in the Anaheim Convention Center between Nov. 7 and 8 to offer hands-on playtime with the latest versions of Blizzard Entertainment's games, hosting eSports and panel discussions.

As every year, one of BlizzCon 2014's pillars is competition.

Together with the fun-packed event, they will also be hosting movie contests, original art competitions and costume design battles.

Winners will receive corresponding cash gifts.

The tickets went on sale last May 7, and both the BlizzCon 2014 Tickets ($199 each) and Benefit Tickets ($750 each) are already sold out.

However, the virtual passes are still up for grabs.

"Watch BlizzCon 2014 at home via the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, offering comprehensive live coverage of the event to viewers around the world via a multi-channel Internet stream," the official website notes.

The ticket description continues, "The Virtual Ticket gives you a front row seat at BlizzCon 2014—taking place November 7 and 8 in Anaheim, CA—from the comfort of your own couch, live and in high-definition (720p). You'll get comprehensive coverage of both days of the show, including panels, contests, the closing ceremony, interviews, and more, along with some cool commemorative in-game goodies."

The BlizzCon virtual tickets sell for $39.99.
