RIP Blizzcon 2024: Blizzard promises reveals at other events

Blizzard Entertainment is cancelling Blizzcon 2024. Instead of hosting its flagship conference, the developer plans to make major announcements at other industry trade shows and events. Blizzard highlighted Gamescom and the Overwatch Champions Series’ stops at both Dreamhack Dallas and Dreamhack Stockholm. Fans can expect to hear more about World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, at future conferences and livestreamed events.

Notably, 2024 is the 30th anniversary of the Warcraft universe. While fans won’t be able to celebrate at Blizzcon, the developer is planning in-person and in-game events across its Warcraft portfolio throughout 2024.
