Blizzard made a couple of announcements today, and the one likely to steal most headlines is that there won't be another BlizzCon until 2013.

"We're excited to be showcasing Blizzard eSports on a truly global stage this year. We're also heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players' hands as soon as possible. In light of our jam-packed schedule, we've decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013."

While it makes sense given the many releases, one would think that that would also make BlizzCon all the more relevant in 2012, but instead Blizzard will host an event called Battle.net World Championship - an e-sport event slated for an unnamed Asian venue towards the end of the year.

Naturally, an announcement of Project Titan, the next big MMORPG from Blizzard Entertainment, was expected to be announced at BlizzCon, so perhaps we won't see an official announcement of that game until 2013, or perhaps Blizzard are planning to make an appearance at E3 (an event Blizzard have stayed away from in recent years).

REVIEW. Written by Rasmus Lund-Hansen

"Diablo III delivers that gameplay that has kept us playing throughout the entire night with previous chapters."
