Blizzard say the timing “doesn’t line up”
“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 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,” Blizzardwrote in the announcement.
They go on to say that they have “some exciting plans for other industry trade shows and conventions like Gamescom”, at which they’ll “celebrate” the upcoming launches ofWorld of Warcraft: The War WithinandDiablo IV’s first expansion, Vessel Of Hatred. They’re also 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.”
BlizzCon happened as an exclusively online event in 2021 and 2022 before returning physically in 2023. This year’s event would have been the first since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
