As it kicks off 2026, Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled a new event—Blizzard Showcase—along with its schedule. The Showcase is set to encompass major announcements across multiple games set within Blizzard’s shared universes.

This Showcase will run as a Spotlight series, in which developers personally introduce new updates and future plans for Blizzard’s flagship titles, including World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and Diablo.

Blizzard said the Showcase will commemorate the company’s 35th anniversary this year. In addition, it will honor respect for the community and craftsmanship, and it will also present an exciting outlook for the future—including the much-anticipated return of BlizzCon this September.

Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment, said, “Blizzard’s exceptionally talented development teams have prepared a special lineup for players across each of our universes,” adding, “This Showcase arrives at an important moment—one where we look back on 35 years of Blizzard history and reaffirm our big ambitions for the future. It’s only the beginning of the many stories we’ll be sharing about Blizzard games this year, and we can’t wait to show them to you ourselves.”

Alongside this announcement, Blizzard also released a commemorative video celebrating the company’s history and legacy, titled “Blizzard: The Next Chapter”. The video highlights landmark moments, releases, and memorable scenes spanning Blizzard’s journey from its earliest days to the present, and it features around 400 archived assets preserved in Blizzard’s internal archives. In doing so, it symbolizes a living legacy built over 35 years—while also serving as an open invitation to players to join the Blizzard stories that will continue to unfold going forward.

The event can be watched via each franchise’s official YouTube channel. The schedule is as follows.
