Paris is to become the centre of the three Blizzard universes this June as Blizzard Entertainment today announced their fourth Worldwide Invitational event, the first to held in Europe.

Set to feature invitational tournaments in StarCraft, Warcraft III, and World in Warcraft, together with playable sessions of StarCraft II and WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, developer signings, and a 'silent auction', the event is sure to be swamped with Blizzard fans and CosPlay addicts alike.

Tickets for the event, which takes place on June 28th/29th, will go on sale in the next few weeks for £55 at the official 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitiational website.

"We look forward to bringing the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational to Europe for the first time and sharing our latest news with players there," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "In addition to the great tournament gaming that will be taking place at the event, we're planning an entertaining show for all attendees."

Last year's invitational, which was held in the South Korean capital of Seoul, saw StarCraft II unveiled to the world, so don't be too surprised if the developer springs additional details in Paris - perhaps a release date for the long awaited sequel...or even that much rumoured 'World of StarCraft' MMO???
