Netflix and Blizzard Entertainment are collaborating to create an animated television series based on the “Diablo” video game franchise. The announcement was made by Blizzard president Johanna Faries at the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2024 on Saturday at the Anaheim Convention Center.
The series will be set in the dark world of Sanctuary, the setting for the “Diablo” games, where humanity is caught in the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells. Blizzard’s official description states that the company is “partnering with some creative powerhouses to tell even more stories beyond gaming across new screens.”
The first “Diablo” game was released in 1996, marking the 30th anniversary of the action-RPG franchise this year. The most recent installment, “Diablo IV,” launched in 2023.
According to Faries, “BlizzCon in and of itself represents so much for all of us to be able to shine a light on all the great work going on at Blizzard.” She added, “We have put a lot of thought into this moment, and why now, and how do we continue to capture and build on the momentum we’re experiencing as an organization.” More details about the animated series will be shared at a later date.
