After much thought over the past year, we have made the decision not to organize BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not taken lightly, because BlizzCon remains an event that is very dear to us , and we know it's also a moment many of you are looking forward to. Our approach is different this year, and we've explored other formats in the past, but one thing's for sure: we're still excited to see BlizzCon return in the years to come.

Over the coming months, we'll share more information about the year's launches, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and Diablo IV's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred. To celebrate these future releases and to bring our communities together in a new and special way, we will soon share information about other trade shows and conventions such as Gamescom. We can't wait to tell you more! We're also looking forward to the Overwatch Champions Series at DreamHack Dallas and DreamHack Stockholm. Finally, we will have the pleasure of organizing several on-site events around the world to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Warcraft. These will complement the festivities that will take place in the various games inspired by Warcraft in 2024. These events are separate from BlizzCon, but we will put all our creativity and imagination into them so that you can find the same festive and friendly spirit.

We hope that these experiences, as well as several other live-streamed events during which we will tell you about the latest news from the worlds of our games, will allow you to rediscover what makes the Blizzard community so special.

However you decide to participate, in person or online, we look forward to seeing you!

The first year of Blizzard Entertainment under the direction of Microsoft is getting duller and duller, the studio already faced numerous layoffs last January. It remains to be seen whether fans will be satisfied with these events here and there in the coming months. You can find Diablo IV from €37 on Amazon, Cdiscount And Fnac.
