BlizzCon Returns Next Year

Blizzard has broken radio silence on BlizzCon, and while there will be no BlizzCon 2025, word is the self-centered gaming gathering will return in September 2026. This follows the cancellation of BlizzCon 2024, which followed the chaos of pandemic lockdowns and online events. Blizzard has been though a lot in the years since this event was a must-attend for a rabid fanbase, so it will be interesting to see how this is received. Here's word on the distant future plan:
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.

Having gone to the first 3 of them*, but especially the first, you will never encounter the same experience you got back then. At the first BlizzCon I remember for the realm meeting times our whole realm was just given a circular 8 person banquet table that only had a total of 4 people at it, including me and my ex-wife. So quaint at the time, but really just the perfect amount of people**. Now I am sure it is just a mess of lines everywhere to get into anything. It just progressively got more and more oppressive. I event got the opportunity to play StarCraft Ghost, briefly.

Marvel Rivals having them on the ropes has forced them to pull out all the stops.

It might have been interesting to go prior to 2010. But now? If someone offered me VIP all-access tickets, 4 star accommodations, and provided first class plane tickets -- I'd probably still take a pass...

Blizzard is not the same company and neither are gamers.
