Nintendo recently announced that a launch event would be held at Nintendo New York tomorrow, on October 16 at 4:30. At the event, attendees would get the chance to meet voice actors from the game and celebrate the Overwatch for Switch launch. Yesterday, however, Blizzard cancelled the event a mere two days prior to it happening.

The announcement comes from Nintendo New York's official Twitter account and has had fans even more upset with Blizzard following the recent political banning debacle.

"Please be aware that the previously announced Overwatch launch event scheduled for Wednesday, 10/16 at NintendoNYC has been cancelled by Blizzard. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
