<p>Following the success of series like <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/02/netflix_raises_hell_with_castlevanias_season_3_trailer">Castlevania</a></strong>, it would seem that many video game publishers are looking for ways to leverage their catalogue of IP in the realm of streaming TV shows – and Blizzard appears to be the next in line.</p>
<p>Thanks to the <a data-hl-processed="skimlinks" data-href-on-the-fly="https://go.redirectingat.com/?id=92X363&amp;xcust=hawk-custom-tracking&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fnick-van-dyk-459a69%2F&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kotaku.co.uk%2F2020%2F02%2F17%2Fblizzard-is-working-on-animated-tv-adaptations-of-overwatch-and-diablo" data-merchant="SkimLinks - linkedin.com" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-van-dyk-459a69/">LinkedIn profile</a> of Nick van Dyk – co-president of Activision-Blizzard Studios – we can expect to see shows based on both <strong>Overwatch</strong> and <strong>Diablo</strong> in the not-too-distant future.</p>
<p>As part of his profile, van Dyk describes one of his roles as:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>…executive producer of Diablo, a TV adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s IP, rendered in anime style. The show is currently in pre-production for distribution worldwide through Netflix.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This isn’t a confirmed project at the time of writing, but with <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.pushsquare.com/games/ps4/diablo_4">Diablo 4</a></strong> on the way, it would make for ideal timing. Elsewhere on his profile, van Dyk says that he has “developed and sold an animated series based [on] Blizzard’s Overwatch franchise,” but doesn’t mention a distributor for that project, which suggests it isn’t as well-developed as the Diablo series.</p>
<p>Would you be keen to see either of these properties turned into full series? Let us know with a comment.</p>
