In April, Blizzard Entertainment announced that due to coronavirus, it wasn?t sure whether BlizzCon 2020 would continue forward. Several weeks thereafter, the publisher confirmed BlizzCon 2020?s cancellation. A digital version of the annual event was under consideration at the time, but not set in stone. That much has since changed. In the early part of 2021, Blizzard will host BlizzCon as an online show.
Company President J. Allen Brack confirmed said plans in Activision Blizzard?s recent earnings call for the last quarter. During a Q&A segment, Brack spoke of wanting to channel the spirit of BlizzCon for the digital showcase. A firm date and other relevant details remain under wraps for the time being, however. According to Brack,
