I’ve been at Blizzard a long time, and I’ve got a bunch of BlizzCons under my belt. Do you know how hard all these announcements were to hold in as we prepared for BlizzCon 2026? I can’t even believe this is real, man, like…okay, sorry, I’m locked in. Whether you’re watching it all unfold live or just catching up later, here is everything from the BlizzCon 2026 Opening Ceremony and where to go next for each one.
StarCraft Is Back, and It Is Not What You Expect
From the farthest reaches of the stars, a new mission calls. StarCraft returns in 2030 as an original open-world shooter.
There is really only one thing to say to that, and we said it from the stage and the halls in Anaheim, California: it’s about damn time.
Diablo Turns 30, and Sanctuary Falls
Diablo V is coming in Spring 2029, and it opens somewhere the series has never let us stand: after the loss. Sanctuary has fallen. Diablo has won. The question the game asks is what we become when the world we knew is gone.
Closer to now, Diablo IV‘s Season of Hell’s Legacy lands September 15 (that’s this Tuesday!) to mark 30 years of Diablo. It brings back the Prime Evils, the Lord of Terror included, along with Deckard Cain, Nightmare Rifts, anniversary rewards, and gear pulled from every era of the series.
A little further out, the Amazon joins as the next Diablo IV class in the first half of 2027, javelin in hand. And if you are at the show or playing from home, Moophisto has returned to terrorize the unsuspecting. He is as udderly malevolent as you remember. Heh.
