After Mike Ybarra recently promised that an update would be coming soon,  Blizzard has officially announced that, after four years, BlizzCon will return as an in-person event this November. 

This year’s event will be back at the Anaheim Convention Center on  November 3rd and 4th. While the dates have been confirmed, which should let people make their travel plans if they are going to do so,  there are few other details just yet. 

After being sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, changed into an online streaming event,  and also canceled completely, it has been a bit of a journey to get back here. When they canceled the event last time, they did so with an announcement that the team would be reimagining the event and that they would be back. 

That announcement came on October 26th, 2021 and served to cancel the scheduled BlizzConline event that was supposed to happen early last year. 

“Additionally, we would also like to take the time to reimagine what a BlizzCon event of the future could look like. The first BlizzCon was held 16 years ago, and so much has changed in the time since—most notably, the multiple ways in which players and communities can come together and feel like they are a part of something bigger…. We’re excited about what we’ll do with the event when we revisit it in the future.”

That time is going to be in November, but as for those new details on whatBlizzCon could be? We’ll have to wait a bit longer. We’ll get our next major info next month.

“We’ll be back with more details about the show next month including ticketing information, cosplay and other competition details, and more.”

We can expect a number of things to be the same as prior years’ events, including, as that tease indicates, competitions, cosplay events, and other surprises.
