Minecraft Festival is Postponed Due To Coronavirus Fears

Minecraft is such a cult phenomenon that it was planned to have its own convention of three days in September with interactive exhibits co-op and competitive gaming, live entertainment, panels and merchandise. Tickets to the first Minecraft Festival in Orlando were set to go on sale this week. ReedPop, which also organizes New York Comic Con (NYC) and San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) announced that the event was postponed for a full year due to the coronavirus epidemic. Even though the event was months away and the outbreak is likely to be resolved by then the producers, partners, and exhibitors have encountered issues when it comes to planning the event and making sure the attendees have a good time.

Fans won't have to be a part of Minecraft Live, though. The live streaming event will continue as planned, and will showcase the most recent Minecraft news as well as behind-the-scenes look at the future developments.

With so many conventions and events being cancelled or delayed due to coronavirus concerns, this news isn't really a shock. deepspaceii However, it seems odd that ReedPop and Mojang Minecraft, the developer of Minecraft -- announced the convention less than one week ago, and COVID-19 was on the radar. It was a smart move to cancel the event before tickets went on-sale and people had made travel arrangements. This saved many headaches.
