BlizzCon to be Skipped in 2024, Live Events Scheduled for WoW, Diablo, and Overwatch 2

BlizzCon 2024 Cancelled: What’s Next?

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that there will be no BlizzCon event in 2024. However, fans can still expect several other live events for its games throughout the year.

The Future of BlizzCon

The long-running convention that celebrates Blizzard titles may return in the future. But for now, in 2024, it is being shelved in favor of individual showcases throughout the calendar.

Exciting Plans Ahead

“After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024,” Blizzard stated in the announcement. Despite this, the company assured fans that they are still excited to bring BlizzCon back in future years.

The company also promised more details about upcoming updates for games such as World of Warcraft: The War Within, Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, and upcoming events like Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm.

Celebrating World of Warcraft’s 30th Anniversary

Blizzard has exciting plans for World of Warcraft‘s 30th anniversary this year. They will be hosting “multiple, global, in-person events” distinct from BlizzCon but with the same spirit of celebration and togetherness.

“Our hope is that these experiences, alongside live-streamed industry events, will capture the essence of what makes the Blizzard community so special,” the company expressed.
