2021 Blizzcon

  • 145

Blizzard announced today that there will be no BlizzCon 2021 : (
Blizzard will instead be holding an online style Blizzcon similar to what they did last year but they claim its "with a twist".
Blizzard released a statement saying "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."

The statement ends by saying that Blizzard is "planning a global event for the early part of next year" which will include an online show similar to BlizzConline, as well as "smaller in-person gatherings."

All in all I'm excited to see the world go back to normal. I miss being able to see all the super fans go crazy at blizzcon, the meet and greats, and whatever else is involved. 2022 the ticket sales are gonna be nucking futs so 2023 may be my year lmao. Thanks blizzard for at least trying with the blizzconline events

There is a way to get back to the REAL normal, but I am not getting the sense people really want that.




My memory isn't so short that I've forgotten all the bullshit they pulled. Boycott Blizzard.
