Blizzard Entertainment’s annual new product event ‘BlizzCon’ has been canceled.
Blizzard announced on its website on the 26th, “After much deliberation over the past year, we have decided not to hold BlizzCon in 2024,” and added, “BlizzCon is not disappearing forever, and we are looking forward to the next BlizzCon.”
Blizzard plans to deliver information about World of Warcraft’s new expansion pack ‘Internal War’ and Diablo 4’s first expansion pack ‘Vessel of Hatred’, which will be released in the second half of the year, through various channels. We plan to participate in various exhibitions and conventions, including Gamescom in Germany. Microsoft (MS), the parent company that acquired Blizzard, participated in Gamescom last year and set up a booth to showcase several new games, including ‘Starfield’, a new game from its subsidiary Bethesda.
Blizzard said, “To mark the 30th anniversary of the Warcraft series, we are planning a variety of global in-person events, as well as in-game events,” and added, “These events cannot replace BlizzCon, but we will use all our creativity and imagination to bring the same spirit of celebration and solidarity.” “We will present it,” he said.
