BlizzCon 2022 is Cancelled

DZ Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) To the Blizzard community, We've decided to take a step back and pause on planning the previously announced BlizzConline event scheduled for early next year. This was a tough decision for all of us to make, but it's the right one. Any BlizzCon event takes every single one of us to make happen, an entire-company effort, fueled by our desire to share what we create with the community we care about so much. At this time, we feel the energy it would take to put on a show like this is best directed towards supporting our teams and progressing development of our games and experiences. Additionally, we would also like to take the time to reimagine what a BlizzCon event of the future could look like. The first BlizzCon was held 16 years ago, and so much has changed in the time since-most notably, the multiple ways in which players and communities can come together and feel like they are a part of something bigger. Whatever the event looks like in the future, we also need to ensure that it feels as safe, welcoming, and inclusive as possible. We're committed to continual communication with our players, and we see BlizzCon playing a big role in that going forward. We're excited about what we’ll do with the event when we revisit it in the future. One more thing we wanted to make clear: even though we aren't holding BlizzConline in February, we’ll still be making announcements and updates for our games. We're proud of our teams and the progress they've made across our games. We have a lot of exciting upcoming news and releases to share with you.You'll continue hearing about those through our franchise channels, with the talented people on the BlizzCon team playing a part in supporting these efforts. We'll miss seeing you, but don't worry. We'll be back together soon.

The stress of Christie Golden

Christie Golden @ChristieGolden - 9m Recently I shared something that I, as someone who works at Blizzard, and who has been involved w/ it for 30 years, agreed with: that the people who make X part of Y game understand it best. I was shocked at how angry people were at me. The statement makes sense to me. 1) O 1 27 1 ♡ 29 Christie Golden @ChristieGolden - 9m For example, many people-in. some who replied to the tweet-don't understand what I do at Blizzard, even after almost 5 years: I write cinematics, short stories, etc. I work w/ all the games, "writer" for SFD is a totally different thing than "Writer for WoW." 22 Christie Golden @ChristieGolden I'm going through a s----ton of major life stuff right now. I've only mentioned a small part of it. l'd thought my feed was a safe space. Some of the comments were respectful. Most, not so much. Not what l'll be doing, but I refuse to let Twitter be another source of stress. 1:27 PM · Oct 15, 2021 · Twitter Web App 2 Quote Tweets 21 Likes Who can reply? @ People @ChristieGolden mentioned can reply Christie Golden @ChristieGolden Disheartening to see people w/ whom you've had many pleasant conversations--you've not met, but you consider them friends--talking smack behind your back. All l've ever done is the very best I can to try to entertain/intrigue/move readers. Out for a bit to focus on other things. 12:05 AM - Oct 18, 2021 · Twitter Web App

2021-08-11, 10:47 AM Blizzard Entertainment will become Insight in 2022 (Leak/Spoilers) BlizzardLeako Keyboard Turner Blizzard Entertainment is being dissolved early 2022. It is going to be replaced by a new team called Insight that will be a more direct part of the renamed Activision Insight. Much of Blizzard, though not all, will be sacked and replaced with new employees for Insight. Join Date: Aug 2021 Posts: 1 Diablo is considered by far the most promising franchise at the present. Diablo IV has 3 planned expansions. A remake of the original Diablo is in the works. Diablo Immortal will receive a PC and console release a year after its mobile release. An untitled Diablo PvP game will begin development under Insight. The Diablo team, like the Hearthstone team, will be mostly unaffected by the company shifts. World of Warcraft is entering official maintenance mode. The little work that was already put into the expansion after Shadowlands will be released 9.3 sometime in 2023. 9.3, despite the name, has nothing to do with Shadowlands and is just made up of salvaged stuff from 10.0. Classic servers will be merged into one or two with the launch of WotLK Classic in 2023. This will be the last Classic expansion planned. A new untitled World of Warcraft successor MMORPG is in the works, looking to take a lot from FFXIV. This is going to be developed by a majority new team than those who made and worked on Wow. It is not a sequel but a total reboot with new lore. Currently only in the planning stage. The base game will focus on Valansess (the Eastern Kingdoms) and Outland, with playable races from both worlds. it is currently believed to not have factions. It will not borrow from Hearthstone, which will remain separate and continually updated with new expansions. A Warcraft mobile MMORPG project has been in the works since 2019 and will continue under Insight, focusing on drawing in an audience in China. It is separate from the new PC MMORPG. The last report said it was canon to WoW, though it is unknown whether this will change with WoW entering maintenance mode. A Hearthstone spin-off game is coming out. It is going to build off of the autobattler modes added. Overwatch is believed to be unsalvageable, failing to capture any modern interest. Overwatch 2 has been cancelled, as have multiple smaller mobile projects set in the same universe. Overwatch in late 2022 will receive the maps and heroes planned for Overwatch 2, but not the PvE modes. A Netflix original series is in the works and seems unaffected by these cancellations. StarCraft is completely abandoned in any way shape or form. There are no plans for new RTS or MOBA of any kind. Because their franchises and lead characters (like Sylvanas, Tracer, and Kerrigan) no longer 'capture people's imaginations like they used to', there has been a lot of work done on developing a new IP. After 3 cancelled projects, they have one they've been working on since early 2020 set in a unique fantasy universe. It will debut with a gacha-style RPG and will be announced at either Gamescom or E3 next year. Blizzconline 2022 has been cancelled, but I'm certain you've all guessed that.

A Warcraft mobile MMORPG project has been in the works since 2019 and will continue under Insight, focusing on drawing in an audience in China. It is separate from the new PC MMORPG. The last report said it was canon to WoW, though it is unknown whether this will change with Wow entering maintenance mode. A Hearthstone spin-off game is coming out. It is going to build off of the autobattler modes added. Overwatch is believed to be unsalvageable, failing to capture any modern interest. Overwatch 2 has been cancelled, as have multiple smaller mobile projects set in the same universe. Overwatch in late 2022 will receive the maps and heroes planned for Overwatch 2, but not the PvE modes. A Netflix original series is in the works and seems unaffected by these cancellations. StarCraft is completely abandoned in any way shape or form. There are no plans for new RTS or MOBA of any kind. Because their franchises and lead characters (like Sylvanas, Tracer, and Kerrigan) no longer 'capture people's imaginations like they used to', there has been a lot of work done on developing a new IP. After 3 cancelled projects, they have one they've been working on since early 2020 set in a unique fantasy universe. It will debut with a gacha-style RPG and will be announced at either Gamescom or E3 next year. Blizzconline 2022 has been cancelled, but I'm certain you've all guessed that.
