BlizzCon 2023 news soon(tm) and new Sidereal Essence currency

Mike Ybarra, President of Blizzard Entertainment is spilling some info about a potential BlizzCon 2023 this year. In a recent reply tweet, he stated:

Ok, ok…yes, I see all the BlizzCon questions. You’ll hear more in the next ~2 weeks. We’re excited, we have a lot to show and celebrate together.

I can't wait. 👊

Short and sweet. Hoping we’ll hear news in less than two weeks. Could this possibly coincide with the Hardcore news/announcement? That’s slated for May 13th, at the finale run of HC All-stars. I cover this topic and more in my latest YouTube video:

Switching to the Wrath Classic side of things, the WoTLK Classic PTR for 3.4.2 is now live. Players can test out Call of the Crusade content: the new 5-player dungeon and 10- and 25-player raid, Isle of Conquest battleground, and updated Titan Rune dungeons, aka heroic plus.

An interesting item found was a new currency called Sidereal Essence, along with corresponding vendor, Animated Constellation, inside Dalaran. This vendor will exchange items from Ulduar 10-player Hard Mode for a new Sidereal Essence currency.
