It's not a secret that Blizzard has faced several problems in recent years. Now, today it has been revealed that BlizzCon 2024 has been completely canceled, although the company still plans to have a presence at some of the biggest presentations of the year.
Through an official statement, Blizzard has confirmed that BlizzCon 2024 will no longer take place. Instead, the company plans to share more information about its upcoming projects through digital presentations and events like Gamescom. This is what was said about it:
“After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly, as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us and we know that many They are looking forward to it from you. While we are approaching this year differently and have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.
Over the coming months, we'll be sharing more details about our releases coming later this year, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these upcoming releases and bring our communities together in new and special ways, we will soon share some exciting plans for other industry shows and conventions like Gamescom.”
Notably, Blizzard is working on The War Within and Vessel of Hatredthe expansions of world of warcraft and Diablo IV planned for this year. Without BlizzCon, all announcements related to this company will take place in the market of other events, such as the Xbox presentation planned for next June.
Along with this, it has been confirmed that throughout the year we will see other types of in-person events, such as Overwatch tournaments, as well as the Warcraft 30th anniversary celebration. Although the 2024 edition has been canceled, Blizzard says it plans to hold another BlizzCon next year. On related topics, there will be more layoffs at Blizzard. Similarly, Diablo IV It is now available on Xbox Game Pass.
Author's Note:
While BlizzCon is still very important to the communities, it is no longer an optimal place to give announcements. Every summer event is a better place to do this, and the next BlizzCon will likely take this into consideration when hosting.
