Among the many announcements during yesterday\u2019s BlizzCon Opening Ceremony, the news that Diablo is getting its own show at Netflix has at least one of the franchise\u2019s development teams chomping at the bit. Yesterday, Blizzard president Johanna Faries revealed that a Diablo animated series is in the works but admitted she \u201ccan\u2019t spill the beans\u201d just yet on exactly what the new show entails.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the development team behind Diablo 4 says it\u2019s quite possibly the reveal they are most excited about, even more so than the news that Diablo 5 is coming out in 2029, Diablo 4 is getting a Switch 2 port, Spawn is coming to Diablo Immortal, and the arrival of the Amazon class. I sat down with Brent Gibson, Diablo 4\u2019s Game Director, and Owen Leach, Season Lead for Diablo 4 – Hell\u2019s Legacy, after yesterday\u2019s news to break everything down. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven though I have no information and can’t share anything, the fact that we’re getting a show [is what I\u2019m most excited about],” Gibson says. \u201cI’m a story guy. I want to see more story, as much story as you can get. We\u2019re narrowing in on finding the creative team [for the show] and we’re delivering on what Johanna was saying, [that] we’re Blizzard Entertainment. I think Diablo’s a perfect world to start telling those stories, so I couldn’t be more happy that we’re getting a show.\u201d<\/p>\n

During yesterday\u2019s presentation, Faries also noted that Overwatch, Warcraft and \u201cperhaps even some\u2026other [Blizzard] universes\u201d could get their own series. But for now, news of a Diablo adaptation is proving to be more than enough to keep the development teams buzzing. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe show is my fan answer [for what I\u2019m most excited about],\u201d Leach says. \u201cI’ve seen animated shows on Netflix and I’m like, \u2018Hell yes.\u2019”<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this world of IPs existing and multiple media is the Wild West,\u201d Gibson adds. \u201cYou actually can’t predict how those mechanisms work. You watch other games that have gotten their shows and how that’s plussed things up and changed things. Fallout is a really great example of that. You see this massive resurgence in the game because of the show and I love that. I have no idea where it’s going but it’s the right time and I’m super excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the new Netflix show, Gibson and Leach say there\u2019s plenty for fans to be excited about in the Diablo universe. <\/p>\n

\u201cBeing the Season Lead of Hell’s Legacy, I am so excited for Diablo to be in Diablo 4,\u201d Leach says. \u201cI’m losing my mind and that’s just one boss. We\u2019ve got 20 new bosses. Na-Krul from Diablo: Hellfire. I’m sure people in the crowd are going to lose their minds when they find out about that. So September 15th, I can’t wait. I’m really excited for players to celebrate the 30th anniversary with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibson says that he\u2019s also looking forward to players getting their hands on Diablo 4: Age of Hatred Collection when it launches on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s about damn time,\u201d Gibson says. \u201cWe’ve been talking about what it means to be on handheld platforms since day one. I’m floored at the level of quality they were able to get it to. There is an audience there that we haven’t been servicing. I think it was on a list of top 10 games that everybody wanted to have on the Switch 2 from launch. And I’m like, \u2018Yeah, me too. Here we go.\u2019 So I’m very happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the flexibility of being able to play wherever I want,\u201d Leach adds. \u201cI used to play on the Steam Deck, but having a specific build for the console is even better. So now I’m playing on my couch because I’m lazy and then some days I’m playing on my PC. That’s how we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
