BlizzCon 2022: Blizzard says the event completely and wants to reinvent it

The BlizzCon 2022 should actually take place in February and exclusively online, but that is history now. The event was completely canceled by Activision Blizzard. There is no replacement and Blizzard think about how the event could come back if you do that at all. The time and energy should prefer to flow into other things.

BlizzCon 2022: The online event was completely canceled by Activision Blizzard

It s about it: The Blizzcon was actually an event on which Blizzard presents new games and content. It was a way for fans and press to see people behind the games and ideally to talk to them. The next issue should actually take place in February and take place exclusively online for the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

BlizzCon falls off: The Blizzcon 2022 does not take place how Blizzard explains in a statement on yesterday s Tuesday. There is no new replacement date indicated and it also remains unclear whether the BlizzCon returns 2023. If, then she does not do that in her former form.

To plan, organize and carry out such an event was a huge force of power of the entire company and currently is probably not the top priority:

We have the feeling that the energy it would need to put such a show would be better invested in a better time by supporting our teams and promoting the development of our games and experiences.

BlizzCon is to be re-invented : The time obtained by the cancellation of the BlizzCon 2022 should now be used to find out how a future Blizzon could look like. According to Blizzard, it must be ensured that it feels so safe, open and inclusive for everyone, like only any possible. Overall, the statement sounds quite as if the blizzcon is at least sometime back in any form.

That could be the reasons: In addition to the ongoing scandals and complaints about harassment in the workplace, Sexism and a toxic working climate at Activision Blizzard, the Group also has some games in the pipeline. And for quite a while. Especially at Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 has been very quiet lately, the headlines dominate the problems and trials. You ll find more about it here:

Link collection and discussion: Will the Blizzard shock finally change something?

Blizzard obviously has just with completely different things both hands to do full. In addition, two of the most likely expected games have been developed for a long time. It works more than understandable that a time and labor-intensive event as the BlizzCon 2022 is canceled. It could benefit us all.

What do you think of the cancellation? Would you like to follow the blizzcon and how would you prefer to return you?
