As a matter of fact, there was someone from Blizzard who stated that they were working on a couple of Warcraft-related mobile games

The worst part about that was that Blizzard reps were making comments like, "If you're a Diablo fan, this is the Blizzcon you want to make the trip for!" To any legitimate Diablo fan, the implication of that statement was clear. Then they got Diablo Immortal. Honestly, if I was one of those fans, I would have probably just walked out.

Shadowlands already was the make or break expansion.. I guess we all know who won.

Hahahahahaha

[Linri]

Excited to see Diablo 4, have no interest in their other IP's anymore

[muto]

Don’t you mean CozCon?

Anyways I hope there is one. I’m excited for the future of Diablo Immortal.

Two guarantees for BlizzCon for the foreseeable future:

1) Online only -- they'll say it is because of COVID, and sure that's a thing, but it will also allow them to control the narrative at every level. No surprises during Q&As. No protests outside the convention center.

2) Plenty of inclusive panels -- all the women and POC at Blizzard who have dodged discrimination or harassments will throw their weight behind as much pro-Blizz PR they can muster. They'll also get some fans in there, cosplayers, to gush about what's good about the company and the IPs.

Pretty much spot-on.

As cynical as I may be about the future of WoW, as other games have shown, you can always release something grand with enough effort and the right mindset and gain the favor of customers again, even if they fuck up the next expansion as well. The only factor here is if Blizzard can (read: is allowed to by the bean counters) and wants do this.

Wasn't that from their incubation unit, which so far has still nothing at all to show for? They will also wait and see how DI will perform in the east and later west, before they open that can of worms.

[Varitok]

Blizzcon is either online only from here on out or completely dead. No way they are coming back from all this shit.

[GreenJesus]

I am no longer interested in any Blizzcon after last lew yers of clown fiesta in this this company.

My first and last blizzcon I attended was 2018. Sad.

[Sinured]

I will only watch it if chester benington is singing "in the end".

[Cosmic Janitor]

I will only watch it if chester benington is singing "in the end".

I guess that is to mean never?

[Pann]

I will only watch it if chester benington is singing "in the end".

That would definitely be something to excited for!

I used to attend Blizzcon every year. I have rolled up Blizzcon posters stored in my closet. It's basically Disneyland for Blizzard fans, with the rides being being demos of the new WoW expansion/new games/new heroes for HotS and Overwatch. There are also panels by the artists where they show how they make game assets and WoW zones. Also sorta like anime conventions if you are into voice acting, as the panels with the voice actors were really great. Key emphasis on were great. The last two years I went, the voice director for Overwatch wasted half of the panel time talking about diversity, rather than giving the audience what they came here for: to hear the voice actors.

At the end of the second day, there is a cosplay contest. And there is also a guest rock band so you can rave if you want. I always also too tired by the end of the second day to stick around for those, so I just drove home.

I doubt I will go to Blizzcon again. All of the old guard at the company who people cared about are long gone. Just a bunch of nobodies left. And if the last few years of the voice acting panels are to go by, there won't be any actual discussion of the voice direction or getting to hear the voice actors bounce off of each other and entertain the audience. Just more preaching.

blizzcon? more like blizzgone.
