Blizzard: No BlizzCon In 2012
by January 25, 2012 @ 11:06 am
BlizzCon — Blizzard’s annual celebration of all things Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo — will skip 2012, according to a statement released by the company today.
This comes amid the company’s “jam-packed” schedule, as both Diablo 3 and StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm are slated for a release later this year. Perhaps Blizzard doesn’t want to take the chance of delaying their arrival any further. That said, it isn’t the first time BlizzCon has taken a break, as there wasn’t a show in 2006 either.
Still, the absence of BlizzCon comes off as a bit surprising, considering it’s like a mini-E3 for Bliz fans these days. The attendance numbers certainly prove it — around 26,000 people attended last year’s show.
