My hopes for an Overwatch anime or Diablo horror movie are going strong as Blizzard president points out “we are Blizzard Entertainment, and not simply Blizzard Games”
I’ve long thought the Overwatch IP would be great material for an anime adaptation in the vein of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Castlevania, or Arcane. Likewise, the dark, gothic setting of Diablo’s Sanctuary would make for quite the moody horror flick. And while Blizzard has given me no indication that either of those things are happening or ever will happen, I do have some newly published hopium to indulge in.
Talking to Windows Central, Blizzard president Johanna Faries was asked about the potential for more of the studio’s IP to branch out into other forms of media beyond video games, and her answer was reassuring.
