Another MMO-adjacent gaming event has now been canceled in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic. “TennoCon is going fully digital!” Warframe studio Digital Extremes announced this afternoon. “We’ve decided to cancel the attendee portion of TennoCon due to widespread concerns surrounding COVID-19.”
Tennocon was originally slated for July 11th in its London, Ontario, Canada location. Here’s the new message to attendees on the official site.
“Due to the widespread concerns surrounding Coronavirus (COVID-19), we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the attendee event portion of TennoCon 2020. While this was not an easy decision for us to make, the health and well-being of our players and our development team is our top priority. Sharing the magic and excitement of TennoCon is still incredibly important to us. We are putting together plans that will enable every Tenno worldwide to digitally share in the magic and excitement of TennoCon on July 11. We’ll have more details to share soon. Despite the lack of physical event this year, we will still work to support local charity partners. We will announce more details — including this year’s charities — soon. We sincerely apologize to any Tenno who planned to attend TennoCon. If you’ve already booked travel arrangements, we strongly recommend you reach out to your travel provider as soon as possible.”
TennoCon is going fully digital!
