On April 26, 2024, Blizzard Entertainment announced on its website that ‘BlizzCon 2024’ will not be held.
Blizzard made this decision after much deliberation over the past year, and as it is an event that many fans are looking forward to, they first said that it was not a decision taken lightly. In addition, it was made clear that the cancellation of BlizzCon is only a temporary effect this year, and that BlizzCon itself will never be canceled.
Accordingly, news related to various expansion packs scheduled for release will be introduced through other channels. World of Warcraft’s new expansion pack, ‘Internal War’, and Diablo 4’s expansion pack, ‘Vessel of Hatred’, are scheduled to reveal detailed information over the next few months, and will also be held at various game shows, including ‘Gamescom’ to be held in Cologne, Germany. He added that he would participate and spread the news.
In addition, Blizzard is preparing a global face-to-face event to commemorate the 30th anniversary of ‘Warcraft’ in 2024, and announced that it plans to hold events within the Warcraft IP game throughout 2024.
Meanwhile, Blizzard’s own game show, ‘BlizzCon’, has been held on a yearly basis since it was first held in 2005, but has been canceled a considerable number of times. In 2006, the year after the first event, the event was not held, but since it was the first time, it passed without any major issues, and in 2012, it was canceled due to the urgent schedule due to the release of ‘Diablo 3’ and ‘Mists of Pandaria’.
In addition, the event was not held in 2020 and 2022 due to various issues, including the recent aftermath of COVID-19, but was evaluated to have been revived through the announcement of the trilogy expansion pack for ‘World of Warcraft’ and the expansion pack for Diablo 4 last year. There is a bar.
