The company also shared that they will release more details about their upcoming video games, including World of Warcraft: The War Within and the first expansion of Diablo IV, Vessel of Hatred. While BlizzCon is canceled, Blizzard will be participating in other industry events and conventions, as well as organizing global events throughout 2024 to celebrate Warcraft’s anniversary.

Blizzard mentioned that these events may be different from BlizzCon but they will still have the same spirit of celebration and community. They will continue to provide live broadcasts about news from their universes. In addition to celebrating Warcraft’s 30th anniversary, Blizzard has also announced several other global events throughout 2024 such as StarCraft II: Beyond the Horizon Global Launch Party, Hearthstone Masters Tour: The Greater China Circuit, Overwatch League Season Four Finals and more.
