Overwatch and Diablo animated series are reportedly in the works at Netflix

NEW LEAKS SUGGESTS BLIZZARD AND NETFLIX ARE MAKING ANIMATED SHOWS TOGETHER.

Netflix is working on animated shows based on both the Overwatch and Diablo game franchises, according to President of Activision-Blizzard Nick van Dyke, who has listed the projects in his LinkedIn profile.

According to said profile, Van Dyke is an “Executive producer of Diablo, a TV adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s IP, rendered in anime style [...] currently in pre-production for distribution worldwide through Netflix.”

A little further down, the resume also refers to “an animated series based [on] Blizzard’s Overwatch franchise.” While Netflix isn’t explicitly mentioned here, we can take an educated guess that the streaming service is involved, given that it’s working on a similar adaptation for Blizzard’s Diablo IP.

That said, neither Blizzard nor Netflix have confirmed anything officially, so there’s still no guarantee that either of these projects will get off the ground. New shows get greenlit and cancelled all the time, but here’s hoping that these two will eventually see the light of day.
