Blizzard has announced the return of its conference for the BlizzCon player community in person, which will be held on November 3 and 4 of this year, and in which events and announcements of updates and news from the company are expected.

Four years after its last face-to-face event, the video game development company has set a date for its next BlizzCon conference, which will be held, as usual, at the Anaheim Convention Center (Los Angeles, United States).

Following the crisis resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, Blizzard canceled the celebration of its annual event in 2020 and announced a digital format for the celebration in 2021 adopting the name BlizzConline. However, in 2022 the company chose not to hold its conference due to the reporting of cases of harassment and discrimination against female employees within the company.

Now, the video game developer intends to return to normality with the return of BlizzCon in person, on November 3 and 4 of this year, in an event in which it is expected to announce news and updates about its latest important titles, like Diablo or Overwatch.

Thus, Blizzard has encouraged its community of players to participate in the event, either to “hang out with friends you can only see online” or to “find out what’s next” for the developer’s universes. However, they have also reported that they will share more details about the show “next month”, with data such as ticket sales, cosplay and other “competition details”.

“It is the community that has always made this event so special, and we are looking forward to seeing you all again,” the video game developer said in a statement on its website.

Microsoft has confirmed the dates of its annual Microsoft Build developer conference, which will hold the 2023 edition from May 23 to 25, returning to the face-to-face format, although it can also be followed online.

The event, which will collect the latest software from the technology company with experts and developers, will take place in Seattle (United States) and will share outstanding updates for Windows and its set of services.

This has been announced by the technology itself through a Twitter post from the Microsoft Developer profile, where it points out that it is an opportunity to connect with “product experts, industry disruptors and cutting-edge partners to share ideas to build the future”.

At this year’s event, as Microsoft points out on the event’s website, the conferences will revolve around the cloud, artificial intelligence, development tools and other data and analysis.

Microsoft is also expected to present advances on Windows 11 as well as new versions of its Bing search engine and its Edge browser powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and supported by the ChatGPT chatbot developed by OpenIA.

Following this line, the OpenIA company, which collaborates with Microsoft, presented on Tuesday the latest generation of its GPT-4 language model with greater capacity for reasoning and for generating content from text and images. Microsoft has even confirmed that GPT-4 has been powering its search engine for several weeks.
