Blizzard cancelled plans for BlizzCon in 2021 due to the Covid-19pandemic, and a short time later “paused” plans for a substitute electronic event due to Activision Blizzard’s ongoing accusations of sexual harassment and partition.
Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra says the organisation is ‘focused on bringing the occasion back the following year
The charges were still somewhat new and creative by then, and Blizzard said “the energy it would take to put on an act like this is best coordinated towards supporting our groups and advancing the improvement of our games and encounters.”
That defer will go on through 2022, yet Blizzard president Mike Ybarra said in one more gathering with the Los Angeles Times (opens in a new tab) that he hopes to bring BlizzCon back in 2023.
“It is recently reported we’re taking a respite on BlizzCon while we reconsider it for the future yet would like to get back to a live occasion that empowers us to commend the local area,” Ybarra said. “We recently hired another BlizzCon executive, April McKee, who is hard at work on that arrangement.” We are working hard to reclaim BlizzCon 2023.”
Ybarra likewise guards Diablo Immortal’s dubious microtransactions, saying the devs planned to “ensure that countless individuals can go through the entire mission with practically no expense.”
BlizzCon isn’t the main large gaming occasion set to return one year from now. E3 didn’t occur this June. However, the Entertainment Software Association is wanting to bring it back as a physical and computerised occasion in 2023.
Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest will be getting back with a computerised and in-person occasion too, setting up a likely conflict of summer gaming meetings.
This comes as Blizzard Entertainment is entangled in debate, as parent organization Activision Blizzard confronted a claim since July 2021, charging that the association permitted misogynist work environments and oppressive ways of behaving to slip through the cracks.
Additionally, it comes as Activision Blizzard is currently being procured by Microsoft for nearly $69 billion. The arrangement is presently being researched by administrative specialists and is scheduled to conclude sooner or later before June 30, 2023.
