Blizzard may have plans to adapt both Diablo and Overwatch into animated shows. As confirmed by sources, an anime based on Diablo is heading to Netflix. Alongwith the details, a small teaser about an animated Overwatch series was seen, though it’s unclear whether it, too, will end up on Netflix.
As reported, Activision Blizzard Studio co-president Nick van Dyk has revealed the adaptations through his LinkedIn profile. The profile lists him as being the executive producer of a TV adaptation of an anime style Diablo television show that will be distributed worldwide through Netflix.
Overwatch 2 is out later this year and Blizzard has already released a number of animated shorts in a bid to promote its new game. It is a popular game, recently crossing 50 million players across all platforms. Diablo is an action role-playing hack and slash dungeon crawler video game series made up of three core games: Diablo, Diablo II, and Diablo III.
Blizzard or Netflix has not yet made a formal announcement of these animated series, but if made, then Diablo and Overwatch will be seen alongside other game adaptations like The Witcher and Castlevania.
