Information that IS canon can also be [[retcon]]ned, to become outdated, and no longer canon.
==Blizzard on canon==
[[Chris Metzen]] has emphasised the importance of continuity within the Blizzard universes. Here talking about the WarCraft universe:
::''We're taking the process of building a world seriously and it wasn't just churned out. It had a strong sense of continuity. We've always tried to do that with our ancillary products like the D&D line and our novels. We are kind of painstakingly anal, about making sure all the details add up, that continuity is held to be sacred. So that no matter in what medium you are experiencing Warcraft it all feels like a contiguous experience.''
Basically everything Blizzard releases is canon, including franchise merchandise like novels, comics, manga etc. There are a few questions marks here and there, but on the whole, anything with a Blizzard logo on it is canon. Exceptions include the [[Diablo I: Hellfire]] expansion, which was licensed by Blizzard, but created by Sierra. The [[Diablo: Demonsbane]] novel is probably canon, but no official word has been made by Blizzard.
