BlizzCon 2022 will not take place! Blizzard prefers to focus on games

Hard times have come for those who dreamed of going to next year’s BlizzCon. Blizzard has officially informed players that despite the initial plans to organize a hybrid event, the rally will not take place next year.

BlizzCon is an effort for the entire studio

This event was usually held every year in California. It usually fell in November, and on the main stage of the convention, Blizzard usually spared the hottest announcements for players. Last year, BlizzCon was held only in digital form – for reasons we all know. Now that there was a shadow of a chance to restore him in physical form, the organizer himself unexpectedly withdrew.

As reported by VGC, the resources and time that Blizzard would invest in organizing the convention, the corporation prefers to spend on supporting its teams and producing upcoming games. It even sounds noble, but we all know that it’s not just the problem. The corporation also announced that the event is not going away for good. The event will come back in a completely different form.

Trouble at Blizzard

As we know very well, Blizzard has huge problems with accusations of molesting women in the company and allowing the development of a corporate culture that also fosters their humiliation. The case is already close to government law enforcement in the US, so organizing a public convention and exposing yourself to consumer criticism in a live event is certainly not the best idea for a Californian corporation.

When we combine this with a few unpopular decisions, such as the existence of Diablo Immortal, declines in the number of active players in World of Warcraft, and the silence about the development of Overwatch 2, an explosive mixture is created that can end in a marketing disaster.

However, it is not that tragic. The recently released Diablo II Resurrected met with a very warm reception from players, despite its many ills. The love for the Blizzard brand is still present in many nostalgics who grew up on its productions in the 90s and 2000s.

Rebuilding players’ trust will, however, require systematic grassroots work and massive changes to the company’s corporate structures. Until then, BlizzCon in physical form has little chance of survival.
