Blizzard has sent out an earth-shattering follow up to the Blizzcon leak! This update was sent to all fansites this morning saying:

"We haven’t announced any details regarding our next BlizzCon -- though we can confirm that it will not be held in Las Vegas -- so we recommend everyone refrain from making any BlizzCon-related travel plans at this time."

We'll post more details as they become available!

Maybe they could head out of USA but stay in North America and go to Montreal, the biggest gaming city in Canada. (All major studio are here)

Plus Activision got new studio here :)

They should have it in Phoenix instead.

Hey, it will be cooler in Phoenix than Vegas! But only by a degree or two.

They should have it in Texas somewhere, Houston has the George R Brown convention center, hugs place with two stories and plenty of room for Blizzcon!

The biggest reason they have it where its been is its close proximity to Blizzard's headquarters. Blizz's employees are the ones manning the diff sales booths, for them to have the convention in another state they would have to either hire vendors, or pay amazingly large travel costs. Its a poor setup, theyre kinda locked into having it in N Cali.

It has always been and I suspect will always be in Southern Cal. HQ is in Irvine and the Anaheim convention center is about a 30 minute drive. Everything else Matthewscott said is pretty much on the money. This past year they rented out 3 floors and 4 halls, no matter how they do it or where, there just isn't room for all 13 million players!

I'd love to see Blizzcon come to the East Coast for a change, give NYC or Philly a little WoW love! :) Or pick somewhere in-between, like Atlantic City.
