Diablo is getting an animated Netflix series as Blizzard teases Overwatch and Warcraft adaptations
Blizzard has announced a Diablo animated TV series coming to Netflix, and it's teasing similar adaptations for Overwatch and Warcraft as well.
Blizzard president Johanna Faries took the stage at BlizzCon 2026 and revealed the Diablo TV show as one of the big opening announcements, putting the emphasis on Blizzard Entertainment. The only confirmed TV show so far is Diablo, but Faries very explicitly said to watch out for news on adaptations of Overwatch and Warcraft as well.
"As a big Diablo player myself, and as someone who loves the indulgent darkness of Sanctuary, I am very excited to see this project come to life," Faries said. catcrossgame.com

Hull stun Chelsea with Mohamed Belloumi double before João Pedro rescues a point
Do not make the mistake of assuming this was a backs-to-the-wall effort from Hull. Their remarkable start to the season goes on and a point was the least Sergej Jakirovic’s side deserved after they pushed Chelsea to the limit in an absorbing game.
This was the first time Chelsea have dominated possession in a league game this season and it did not lead to anything pretty. Xabi Alonso’s attack was contained for long spells, even though goals from Morgan Rogers and João Pedro ended Hull’s spotless defensive record, and the Spaniard’s side remain a mess without the ball. Chelsea are conceding at a rate of two a game and saw their winless run in home games against promoted sides stretched to five after Mohamed Belloumi twice punished defensive errors during the first half.

The BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony is one of the biggest moments in the gaming calendar. Blizzard Entertainment is a notoriously secretive organization, one which works quietly and capably until it's ready to reveal its work to the world. That's why an event like BlizzCon is always so exciting. It's a rare opportunity for key development teams within Blizzard – working across the Diablo, Overwatch, StarCraft, and Warcraft franchises – to give the community a little glimpse into what's next.
BlizzCon 2026 starts September 12, with dedicated panels dedicated to each of its major universes held all weekend. But it all begins with the BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony, which runs for 75 minutes. It's been two years since the last time this event was held so we're expecting big announcements, particularly given the wider backdrop – Blizzard has suffered wide staff reductions this year as part of the Xbox Reset, and the Opening Ceremony should be a show of confidence for the future.
GamesRadar+ is on the ground in Anaheim, California, to bring you the latest news and reveals from BlizzCon 2026. It all begins with the Opening Ceremony later today, which we'll be covering for you live. From there we'll keep this page running with breaking updates across the weekend, our first impressions of new announcements, and more.

What to expect from BlizzCon 2026
Blizzard deciding to bring BlizzCon back for 2026 is a big deal. The in-person event has been inactive for the last two years, and comes at a time where the publisher is working through the impact of redundancies across all of its development teams following the Xbox Reset implemented in July.
The reason BlizzCon matters is that it's the one moment of the calendar year where all of the Blizzard universes collide – where a typically secretive company is willing to open up its doors and give players a peek into the future of Diablo, Hearthstone, Overwatch, StarCraft, and Warcraft.
When I attended BlizzCon in 2023, Blizzard unveiled The Worldsoul Saga – an unprecedented three-expansion run for World of Warcraft. Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred was revealed, as were new heroes for Overwatch and the Cataclysm expansion for WoW Classic. Like I said, BlizzCon goes hard.
I'm expecting big things from BlizzCon this weekend. The Opening Ceremony will almost certainly bring word from Blizzard president Johanna Faries and Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, offer major reveals for Diablo 4 and World of Warcraft, and perhaps the 10 year wait for new StarCraft will finally end.
