Blizzard Entertainment announced Diablo V during the company-hosted community event BlizzCon 2026, with a teaser trailer titled "Resurrection" released alongside the reveal. The game is in development and scheduled for release in spring 2029, with no price yet attached. The announcement came as a surprise at the event. Blizzard's development team is set to appear for a panel titled "Diablo V: Creating the Next Era," where the world setting and other details are expected to be introduced. Separately, an animated series based on the Diablo series is in production with Netflix. The Diablo account on X posted that the team is in development on the new animated series with Netflix, dated September 12, 2026. Diablo is a long-running hack-and-slash franchise, and Diablo V is the next numbered entry, announced at the same convention where the prior news cycle was expected.
The teaser carries the title "Resurrection," which Blizzard used as the trailer name rather than the subtitle of the game itself. The company has not attached a price to Diablo V. What the panel will cover is limited so far to the world setting and unspecified other details, per the announcement. The Diablo account on X posted on September 12, 2026 that the team is in development on a new animated series for Diablo with Netflix, and the post included a short clip. No release window, episode count, or studio was given for the Netflix series.
That leaves the two announcements at different stages. Diablo V has a season and a year. The animated series has a partner and a confirmation of active development. BlizzCon 2026 ran with the Diablo V panel as one of its scheduled sessions, and the game's official website and announcement page went live with the reveal.
