We all eagerly anticipated yesterday, counting down the hours until ticket sales for the Minecraft festival were set to begin, which was scheduled for September this year. The organizers had already started their preparations, players were getting ready to pack their bags, and professional builders had planned out their workshops. However, after extensive discussions and careful consideration, it was decided to postpone the event until next year.
Due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus, numerous event organizers around the globe are canceling large gatherings and activities to ensure the safety of their attendees. However, the situation is somewhat different with Minecraft. The festival is scheduled for September, which gives us about 7 months; however, those in charge are hesitant to make predictions regarding how long it will take to control the outbreak. As a precautionary measure, the event has been postponed.
The festival partners and producers are located in various parts of the globe, and currently, meeting with them is not feasible due to heightened security measures. It remains uncertain when we will be able to connect, which significantly impacts the quality of the festival as crucial planning discussions cannot take place. Therefore, postponing the festival until next year is the most viable option available.
While it’s unfortunate that things have turned out this way, we bring you not only bad news but also some good ones! Despite the festival’s delay, Minecraft Live will still occur as originally scheduled. The broadcast will reach audiences worldwide, allowing you to catch all the latest updates and announcements from the comfort of your home! Thank you for your understanding; we will definitely keep you posted if anything exciting comes up!
