A Blizzard Game Might Be Getting a Netflix Show—How Awesome Is That?

Hey, gamers! Guess what I heard? Blizzard might be teaming up with Netflix for a video game adaptation. Lately, we’ve seen some big games turned into movies or shows—like A Minecraft Movie hitting theaters, or Fallout and The Last of Us becoming TV series on places like Prime Video, HBO, and Netflix. There’s even a Dungeons & Dragons show coming soon, but now it sounds like a Blizzard game could be next in line for what people are calling the “Netflix treatment.” I heard this on a podcast, and I’m pretty excited to share the details with you!

This scoop comes from Jez Corden, who co-hosts The Xbox Two podcast and is usually spot-on with gaming news. While chatting about the Xbox Games Showcase for 2025, he mentioned that he’s heard a Blizzard game is getting a Netflix adaptation. He didn’t say which one, but Blizzard doesn’t have a ton of huge franchises, so let’s think about the possibilities. They’re best known for games like Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft. Right now, World of Warcraft and Diablo are the most active with new stuff coming out, so they seem like the top picks. But maybe Netflix could bring back an older game like StarCraft to give it a fresh start—who knows?

What Could a Blizzard Netflix Show Look Like?

On the same podcast, the other host, Rand al Thor 19, guessed that StarCraft might be the one getting the Netflix treatment. He thinks it makes sense since big adaptations—like A Minecraft Movie—can get fans hyped up again for the game. Plus, if Blizzard wants to make a new StarCraft game, a show could help build excitement. On the other hand, Diablo IV’s first DLC didn’t get the best reviews, and Overwatch is facing competition from Marvel Rivals. So maybe Blizzard wants to win back some love for one of those games with a cool show.

What does the “Netflix treatment” even mean? Well, most of Netflix’s video game shows so far—like Arcane, Castlevania, and Carmen Sandiego—have been animated. But lately, some projects, like the Dungeons & Dragons movie, are going live-action to compete with hits like The Last of Us. So, Netflix might try that for Blizzard too—it could go either way!

What’s Next for This Rumor?

Just a heads-up: there’s no official word yet on a Blizzard-Netflix deal. Jez Corden is pretty reliable, but he said this is just something he heard, so it’s more of a rumor than a done deal. We might not get the full scoop until BlizzCon, Blizzard’s big convention. It’s not happening in 2025, but it’ll be back in 2026, and that’s usually when they drop big news like this. Of course, if the rumor’s true, we might hear something sooner—who knows?

Since BlizzCon is still a ways off, we don’t know much about what they’ll announce. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed for some exciting news about a Blizzard show. Which Blizzard game would you love to see on Netflix? Drop your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to hear what you think!
