BlizzCon Won t Be Happening This Year Advertisement Advertisement
If you were hoping to attend BlizzCon 2021 later this year, you’re out of luck because the show has been cancelled. Blizzard confirmed the details today in a post on its official site.
While this is probably disappointing for fans, Blizzard seems to have a good reason. Stating that it is past the date where it can deliver an event that carries the quality its fans expect. This is the second year in a row Blizzard is cancelling the official BlizzCon convention. Which the studio has held nearly every single year since 2005, save for 2006, 2012, and 2020. Blizzard did however hold BlizzConline earlier this year as a sort of stand-in for missing last year’s event. Where it announced more details for Diablo Immortal, as well as World Of Warcraft Burning Crusade Classic, Diablo IV and various other games.
Ah, to once again level in Hellfire Peninsula . . . .
World of Warcraft Classic has been a quiet success – well, quiet after the initial blitz that featured day-long queues – and players will soon be able to revisit the exceptional
Burning Crusade expansion, announced during the BlizzConline Opening Ceremony. It can be argued that Vanilla, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King were the Golden Era of WoW, so those of you out there who bounced off Classic may find Burning Crusade a little more to your liking.
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic will launch later this year.
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade Classic will function much like World of Warcraft: Classic does today. Many of the original features will return, such as the skill trees and balance from that era. That said, Blizzard acknowledged they are willing to make more “modern” adjustments as needed, since not everything ages well.
