BlizzCon 2024 is not happening despite Blizzard’s strong 2024 lineup

Two iconic video game characters join the Xbox Game Pass lineup this May: Lara Croft and an adorable little kitty. Sure, one character definitely has more brand name recognition over the other, but it’s hard to resist the adoring gaze of a big-eyed black cat. This month, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and the charming indie game Little Kitty, Big City enter the catalog of games available for free on Xbox Games Pass.

The 2024 Call of Duty game may receive a reveal as early as this month, some newly emerged evidence suggests. The upcoming title is expected to be another entry in the Call of Duty: Black Ops series.

With Blizzard Entertainment having several major upcoming releases in the works, many had expected that the company would have a lot to say at BlizzCon later this year. Recently, however, it was announced that Blizzard had decided not to host the event in 2024. With Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard having gone through last year, there were some who wondered if it was Blizzard’s new parent company that made the decision to not go ahead with a BlizzCon event this year, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that has been canceled, although the company does have plans for future live events this year. While there won’t be an in-person or digital BlizzCon event for this year, Blizzard promises the event will return in future years, although it may have a different format.

This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years.
