One of the surprising announcements from BlizzCon's opening ceremony was the reveal of Diablo 5 and although there's a bit of a wait for the next entry, Blizzard has big plans for 2027. Not only is Diablo 5 bringing the Lord of Terror back into the spotlight, but in this version of Sanctuary, the world has already fallen. Instead of preparing for the threat, players will now need to deal with the world actively changing in front of them and bring it to an end.
After a two-year hiatus, Blizzard came out swinging with the 2026 version of BlizzCon. The company made some major new announcements, including an open-world shooter StarCraft game, despite it not launching until 2030 at the earliest. Each of Blizzard's major franchises seemingly received news, such as a new expansion for Warcraft 3, the newest hero in Overwatch, and World of Warcraft Forever being officially revealed. The Diablo franchise also received plenty of news, including the shocking announcement and reveal of Diablo 5, which is slated for launch in 2029. However, Blizzard teased even more plans for Diablo 5 starting in 2027.
