BlizzCon 2020 Plans Are Still Being Made, But Event Could Still Be Canceled

gamingbolt.com

Usually, Blizzard announces the dates for their annual event around this time, but this go around, they instead issued an open note about the convention. In a nutshell, they still plan to hold the event as of now, but cite safety of both employees and fans as a possibility that the event could be canceled like many others this year. You can read the full announcement through here.

The hope for many is that the outbreak will be over within the next month or so, but it's still largely up in the air. There's also fear that a second wave of the virus could come when summer leaves and warmer weather moves out, which means we could see this whole mess unfold again. As Blizzard says, we're just going to have to wait and see what it all looks like.

Are they usually in November? That seems like a long way down the road but given the uncertainty lingering, I could see them cancelling.

Drop DIablo 4 and Overwatch 2 tease on social media

They should use this opportunity to do it only digitally and then they can announce the 10 mobile ports that you know they held off from announcing at the last one.

They'd be watching it on their phone, right?

Literally the only exciting thing on the cards is the TBC Classic announcement. Diablo 4 is years away and Overwatch 2 is DOA. We really don't need a Blizzcon on any level this year.

Event is cancelled, will likely return "early next year"
