Affectionately known as BlizzCon, this grandiose gaming convention gathers fans of all ages in celebration of Blizzard Entertainment’s most fantastical game universes. The folks over at Sneaky Zebra put together an epic show reel of the most insane cosplays on display at Blizzcon 2016.

We also took a peek at some galleries online, and rounded up some of our favorite picks at the convention. The costume contests are always a fan favorite, and this year cosplayer Steven Scott as “Grommash” took first place, in a completely realistic World of Warcraft cosplay. Oshley O’Neil snagged second as Varian, Cynthia Hall as Elune for third and Alicia Bellemy as Arthas in fourth.

Overwatch, a mega-popular first-person shooter, was a fan favorite at the convention, with many fans dressing up as the heroic characters. Known as Sombra, a brand new character made her official debut, with fans already sporting elaborate cosplays.

One fan wore a breathtaking leather outfit, complete with faux leather in black, purple, and silver accents. She opted for totally realistic looking accessories and completed her look with a bright pop of purple lipstick to finish. Other preferred more classic favorites, like World of Warcraft characters and thrilling figures from Diablo.

We loved seeing all of the incredibly detailed costumes, especially the larger-than-life sets of armor and weaponry that looked straight from the video game universe. If you’d like to check it out in person, be sure to visit their website over at BlizzCon for all the important dates!
