The official World of Warcraft Twitter page announced earlier today that their Shadowlands livestream set for June 9th will be postponed. Game director Ion Hazzikostas and executive producer John Hight were to host the stream to share updates on development for the Shadowlands expansion.

The move echoes those of other prominent platforms postponing anticipated events. PlayStation made a similar announcement earlier this week regarding its planned promotional event for the PlayStation 5 on June 4th.

Social unrest in the United States has encouraged many brands and platforms to take a step back this week, decreasing self-promoting social media and advertisements to add visibility to the causes being raised.

Neither PlayStation nor Blizzard has provided a new date for their promotional events.

I received my bachelor's in English in 2017 and always find myself writing or editing one thing or another. If I'm not playing WoW with my husband (aka the guy who got me into all this), I'm usually goofing off with our dog Oliver or watching Let's Plays of the horror games I'm too chicken to touch.
