BlizzCon and Our Latest Plans - No BlizzCon This Year

Greetings Blizzard community,

I hope you’re all staying safe and well. As guidelines in California around in-person gatherings continue to evolve and the status of the pandemic fluctuates around the globe, the teams across Blizzard have been discussing what this means for one of the events we miss the most: BlizzCon. We know some of you might be wondering about your own plans to potentially cross the country—not to mention oceans—and meet your friends, family, and fellow community members in California, so today, we wanted to give you a heads-up that we’ve decided we will not be holding BlizzCon this year.

Building an in-person BlizzCon is an epic and complex affair that takes many months of preparation—not just for us, but also for the many talented production partners, esports pros, hosts, entertainers, artists, and other collaborators we team up with locally and globally to put all of the pieces together. The ongoing complexities and uncertainties of the pandemic have impacted our ability to properly move forward on many of these fronts, and ultimately we’re now past the point where we’d be able to develop the kind of event we’d want to create for you in November.

But we don’t want to let too long go by before we connect with everyone again. So in the meantime, we’re planning a global event for the early part of next year, combining an online show along the lines of our recent BlizzConline with smaller in-person gatherings, and we’ll share more as our plans come together.

We very much look forward to celebrating with you all again. Until then, we’ll see you in Azeroth, Outland, Sanctuary, and all the other worlds we call home.

–Saralyn Smith, Executive Producer of BlizzCon

Well they can't do worse then the online show from this year.

[Darth Primus]

No tickets, no money, money, money.

I liked it. Especially as we got some nice insights into OW development. Don't understand the negativity.

[Agent Smith]

This is just Blizzard trying not to have another in person embarrassment because of the state of, pretty much everything Blizzard has touched in the last 3 years.

10.0 won't drop until 2023.

No you're still not getting 9.3. You've entered into the worst timeline.

How is 10.0 and Blizzcon connected?

Came to post this. /thread

[Mendzia]

Good.
I'd rather to see their real reaction for 'you do not have phones' instead pre-recorded cringe videos.

[Lolites]

How is 10.0 and Blizzcon connected?

they are not, and we are still most likely to get 9.3 and new expansion in 2022, but hey, some people have to whine about SOMETHING, if theres nothing real to complain about they just make something up

They're not. Just ignore posters like Edward who are literally only here to talk shit. They add nothing.

Blizzard is dying

Blizzard is dying

They have been dead for years remember when they cancelled the 2012 blizzcon? Only a corpse would do such a thing!

Blizzard have been dead since 2006 since they skipped Blizzcon the year after they started.

[glowpipe]

well. what would the last 8 people working there be able to show anyways ?

[Lolites]

Blizzard is dying

blizzard is "dying" so long i cant even recall when it started, definitely before wow was released...
and technicaly, everyone and everything is dying...

nah, way before that, probably 9.2.1991, day after being founded

Exactly! With a company dropping to such lows I must surly be failing by all metrics!

[dewd]

well bfa brought the coffin in the yard and shadowlands supplied the nails. there wont be a new wow expansion to announce. the future of wow is wotlk classic and thats probably it because during cataclysm the cool wow community started to really shit on the game even more than during wotlk.

-diablo 3 and immortal made everyone not care about that franchise anymore
-overwatch 2 is literally just full priced patch for overwatch
-heroes was dead on arrival
-sc2 is died somewhere 2015/16 or so
-hearthstone i cant even take serious and is a mystery to me what kind of people 'play' this 'game'

unless theyre working on something new and big thats not ready to show they would just earn even more booing at a blizzcon. and they probably saw how much cheaper streaming recorded videos during blizzconline was than renting a convention building and even make a buck by selling 'virtual tickets' for a fucking stream.
