Xbox’s Blizzard team has announced a run of four developer showcases that will lay out the near-term future of the studio’s biggest franchises. The events will cover Diablo, Hearthstone, Overwatch and World of Warcraft as Blizzard approaches its 35th anniversary in 2026.

The company confirmed that each franchise will receive its own focused presentation across the next two weeks, with details ranging from live-service roadmaps to potential new projects and anniversary plans. The schedule and full broadcast times have been published by Pure Xbox.

The decision to split news across separate showcases signals an intent to provide targeted updates for each IP rather than bundling information into a single, broad presentation. The move follows Blizzard’s integration into Microsoft’s Xbox family and comes ahead of a year of anniversary activity and long-term planning for the studio.

Official commentary from Blizzard framed the events as opportunities to "detail what players can expect next" for each franchise, while emphasising commitments to ongoing content and community engagement. Further specifics and the precise timing for each showcase are listed in the original Pure Xbox report.

Full coverage and the schedule for the four Blizzard showcases are available via Pure Xbox: purexbox.com.
