BlizzCon 2026 brought exciting revelations for fans of Blizzard Entertainment, including a new Starcraft shooter, the highly anticipated Diablo V, and an animated Netflix series.
Starcraft: A Revived Classic
Adam Benjamin, Managing Editor at CNET, highlights the announcement of an open-world shooter set in the iconic Starcraft universe. This game, simply titled Starcraft, marks a significant return to the franchise after a decade-long hiatus since Starcraft 2’s Nova Covert Ops campaign pack. The reveal at BlizzCon generated immense excitement among fans who have long awaited a new entry in the series.
Diablo V: Descending into Darkness
Blizzard also unveiled Diablo V, marking the series’ 30th anniversary. The game promises to take players deeper into the dark fantasy world, exploring the consequences of the Lord of Terror’s domination. This announcement came earlier than expected, as the development of the previous Diablo games stretched over a decade.
Amazon Class Pack for Diablo IV
Additionally, Blizzard confirmed plans to introduce the Amazon class to Diablo IV via a class pack in 2027. This addition will allow players to venture to the Skovos Isles and embrace the role of an Amazon warrior.
