Just a few hours ago the state of BlizzCon 2023 was akin to Schrödinger’s cat in a box. It is true that last year Blizzard confirmed its plans to renew it in 2023, but given the complicated situation that Microsoft’s attempt to acquire Activision-Blizzard King is going through, following the incomprehensible decision of the CMA to block the UK operation, although it is true that those from Redmond could consider moving forward even under these circumstances, especially now that the European Union has given its approval.

So there was a lot of doubt about whether this long-awaited BlizzCon 2023 would finally happen, so Blizzard has decided to put an end to any doubt about itnot only by confirming that the plans for the event are going ahead, but also by giving some important information such as the date of the celebration, which, as we already told you in the title of this news, will be on November 3 and 4i.e. on Friday and Saturday of the first weekend of the month.

Moreover, it also confirmed it the event will be held at the Anaheim, California Convention Center, which is the largest exhibition site on the American West Coast. Thus, for the first time since 2019, the meeting for fans of Blizzard franchises will once again take place in person, although the online format that has become so popular since 2020 and allows you to enjoy the action from anywhere in the world will also be maintained..

Recall that after the 2019 event, BlizzCon 2020 was suspended due to the pandemic, that the 2021 edition was renamed BlizzConline because it had an exclusively online format, and that the 2022 edition was canceled due to the terrible revelations of the cases. sexual and occupational harassment that occurred continuously in the company. So besides the surprise, this BlizzCon 2023 will mark the return to normality after quite turbulent years for the company.

Blizzard did not reveal more information about the event, but announced that it will expand the information about it next month. However, we hope that we can imagine that the one that has already been launched, around these dates, Diablo IV, will have a rather relevant role, and we also expect news on Warcraft and Overwatch. A World of Warcraft announcement seems less likely, given that its latest expansion, Dragonflight, only hit the market a few months ago, as did the Classic branch’s update to Wrath of the Lich King.
