Blizzard Entertainment heeft aangekondigd dat BlizzCon weer terugkeert. Niet dit jaar, maar pas volgend jaar en om precies te zijn zal het plaatsvinden op 12 en 13 september. Dit is de eerstvolgende editie na de editie in 2023, want de editie van 2024 werd geannuleerd.
Het laat dus nog wel even op zich wachten, maar tegen eind volgend jaar zal het weekend weer helemaal in teken staan van alle games die ooit door de uitgever zijn uitgebracht. Hieronder de officiële aankondiging en daaronder een trailer.
BlizzCon is back! The ultimate celebration of our games and the community that unites us is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center Saturday, September 12, and Sunday, September 13, in 2026.
One of our favorite traditions, BlizzCon brings us together over our shared passion for Blizzard’s universes, but at its heart, BlizzCon has always been about so much more. It’s about you, the communities you are a part of, and gives us the chance to connect, build friendships, and create unforgettable memories together.
We’ve come a long way since our first event in 2005. Over the past nearly 20 years since its inception, BlizzCon has inspired us to innovate, push the boundaries of creativity, and deliver once-in-a-lifetime moments. It’s important that we put on an event worthy of our community. For 2026, alongside BlizzCon staples like Opening Ceremony, in-depth panels, the Darkmoon Faire, friendly competition, hands-on gameplay, and more, we aim to meaningfully elevate this iconic celebration and create an unforgettable experience for all who take part in it. We are building this event just like we build our games: with a deep commitment to our players, with respect for your connections to our universes, and as a celebration of the strength of the bonds formed through shared adventure.
“Don’t you guys have a phone?” – Blizzcon 2018. Een klassieker.
