BlizzConline 2022 had been all set to happen in February 2022. Fans had updates for Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and even a potential unannounced title codenamed \u201cIris\u201d to get excited about. However, on October 26, 2021, Blizzard cancelled the event, explaining that the time and energy spent putting it on would be better suited elsewhere. BlizzConline 2022 cancelled In a post titled \u201cReimagining BlizzCon\u201d Blizzard said they had decided to put a pause on planning the previously announced event. \u201cAt this time, we feel the energy it would take to put on a show like this is best directed towards supporting our teams and progressing development of our games and experiences,\u201d they wrote. The developer also said they want to \u201creimagine what a BlizzCon event of the future could look like.\u201d \u201cWhatever the event looks like in the future, we also need to ensure that it feels as safe, welcoming, and inclusive as possible,\u201d they continued. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to continual communication with our players, and we see BlizzCon playing a big role in that going forward.\u201d When will the next BlizzCon be? \u201cOne more thing we wanted to make clear: even though we aren\u2019t holding BlizzConline in February, we\u2019ll still be making announcements and updates for our games,\u201d Blizzard added. While disappointing to some fans, BlizzConline 2022 could still happen later on in the year. After everything that\u2019s gone on at Blizzard in 2021, really focusing on the development of upcoming games like Overwatch 2 might not be a bad idea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blizzconline 2022 cancelled to focus on Overwatch 2, Diablo 4 development Blizzard EntertainmentBlizzard have cancelled BlizzConline 2022 and said they\u2019ll instead be focusing on \u201cprogressing development\u201d for upcoming games like Overwatch 2.
