Last month Blizzard announced that it’s annual fan convention would be skipping a year, returning in 2012 so the developer can focus on things like developing games. Some fans took this well. The Elysiam World of Warcraft guild on the US Shadowmoon server took to song.
BlizzCon, the annual fan celebration of all things Blizzard-related gets a little less annual this year. The company has decided to hold the next convention in 2013 to focus on finishing Diablo III, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria and the 2012 Battle.net World Championship.
Another year, another twelve months filled with new game releases, extravagant gaming events, and big hardware releases. How can anyone hope to keep them all straight? Kotaku‘s 2012 Gamer’s Calendar is here to help.
Maybe it’s the ghoulish face. Maybe it’s the creepy trailer. Or maybe it’s Joshua’s pasty white arms. I cannot decide.
World of Warcraft developers Blizzard upset a few people with their decision to screen an expletive-filled rant from Cannibal Corpse frontman George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher as BlizzCon 2011 came to a close. And for that, the company has apologised.
Blizzard’s annual Blizzcon is, for the most part, a friendly get-together for like-minded fans, a place where people can hang out and revel in the fact they all love the same games.
In a show filled with people dressed in cardboard copies of World of Warcraft armour a woman dressed up as the Adjutant from Starcraft completely stole the show at last night’s costume contest.
