After the first online Blizzcon in February 2021, it was not surprising that the Blizzard Responsible announced another virtual trade fair for early 2022 in May. Finally, the topic of Covid pandemic continued to be existing for an on-site party, and the online experiment had worked quite well. But this is all the age in front of the sexism scandal, who came to light in July. Since then, a lot has happened - 20 layoffs and 20 warnings for example.
Clear that a company can not just move something like that. In addition, BLIZZARD, nobody is likely to feel in a celebration mood, and that s why it s about a BlizzCon: to celebrate its own Blizzard ecocosmos. So it is only conclusive that the Blizzard officers on the official website have now reported once again to cancel the BlizzCon scheduled for early 2022.
The official reasons, short and short:
Each BlizzCon is a company-wide performance that requires some time and energy from all employees. At the current time, however, it is better to invest this time and energy in the current game developments. In addition, you want to take the time to reinvent the Blizzon. It has just changed a lot since the first Blizzcon 16 years ago. Whatever the event will look like in the future, it should be as safe, inviting and inclusive as possible. The BlizzCon should continue to play an important role in the future to contact the Blizzard community.
But even if there is no blizzcon in February, announcements and updates are planned for various Blizzard games. However, this will give it for the appropriate time via the respective franchise channels.
