Summary
ABlizzardgame could be next in line for aNetflixadaptation, following on from countless titles before them.
This is according to journalist Jez Corden, speaking on the Xbox Two podcast. Here, he says that a Blizzard series is set to get “the Netflix treatment”, although he won’t confirm which one it is.
Overwatch, Diablo, Or Another Blizzard Game Could Be Getitng A Netflix Show
“I’m not going to say what game it is, but there’s a Blizzard franchise that’s getting some kind of Netflix treatment,” Corden says on the podcast, in a segmentspotted byResetEra user Tommy Showbiz. He doesn’t give us much else to go on, but he does mention that the show could be announced at BlizzCon, which isn’t until September 2026.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time we have heard of some kind of partnership between Blizzard and Netflix. Last September, it was reported that the two companies were in talks some time ago,but the deal fell through in 2020whenBlizzard sued Netflix. This lawsuit was over Netflix allegedly “poaching” a Blizzard executive. Back in 2020, it was alsorumoured that Diablo and Overwatch shows were in the works, so this does check out.
So, if talks are back on track, then it would seem thatDiabloandOverwatchare likely contenders for the adaptations, presuming that’s still what Blizzard is after. The latter might make the most sense sinceOverwatch 2 has found itself losing players to Marvel Rivals, and a popular Netflix show could breathe new life into the community as well as bring in new fans.
We’ve seen this with other games before.Falloutwas among the most recent, withall the games seeing a boost in playersafter the Prime Video show proved to be a hit. Similarly,The Last Of Us Part 1 sales shot up by more than 200 percentafter the first season of the TV show dropped.Cyberpunk 2077also got a bump in salesafter the Edgerunners anime, although this was the same year asthe next-gen update.
