– 1 min read
This year, there will be no BlizzCon. However, Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that it will be attending gamescom to bring the community together and showcase upcoming releases.
There will be no BlizzCon this year. "This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we're approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years," says the company after "careful consideration" over the last year. No specific reasons were given for the cancellation of this year's in-house exhibition.
Related to the upcoming releases such as World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, and to bring the community together, Blizzard will be attending other industry shows and conventions such as gamescom in August. More detailed plans will be announced in the future.
Blizzard: "We're also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series' stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. And we're thrilled to be planning multiple, global, in-person events to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft, which will be held in addition to the in-game celebrations across our Warcraft games throughout 2024."
