BlizzCon returns this November for its first in-person event since 2019
BlizzCon is back this November, with its first in-person event since 2019 following several years of digital-only events and no-shows as Blizzard navigated a pandemic and workplace controversy.
As announced on the Blizzard website, BlizzCon 2023 will take place from 3rd-4th November at California’s Anaheim Convention Center. Beyond that, details are fairly non-existent at present, but the studio says it’ll have news on “ticketing information, cosplay and other competition details, and more” next month.
BlizzCon 2023 will mark the show’s first in-person event in four years, following two highly controversial showings in 2018 and 2019 – the first playing host to Blizzard’s infamously bungled reveal of free-to-play mobile game Diablo Immortal and the second featuring a limp non-apology from then-CEO J. Allen Brack, who failed to offer much in the way of a convincing response after Blizzard suspended a Hearthstone player for expressing pro-Hong Kong views.
