Today, Blizzard Entertainment unveiled tune-in dates for its upcoming 2026 showcase, a series of developer-led spotlights packed with major game launch announcements from across Blizzard’s universes, including World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Diablo. These spotlights also serve as a galvanising celebration of Blizzard’s 35thanniversary, honouring both community and craft, while providing an exciting look toward the future, including BlizzCon’s much anticipated return in September.
“Our extraordinarily talented teams have assembled a stellar line-up for our players across our universes,” said Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment. “This major showcase event comes at a significant moment in time as we reflect on three and a half decades of Blizzard history and our big ambitions for the future. This is only the start of what we’ll share around our games this year, and we can’t wait to bring it to life.”
