Blizzard has announced a Blizzard Showcase happening in early 2026, including discussion around updates to World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Hearthstone, and the Diablo series. The Diablo portion of this showcase will happen on February 11th at 2:00pm PST, highlighting a variety of content coming to multiple Diablo titles as part of the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight. Check out the video below:
While this is something to start building the excitement, the real hype began to grow on February 5th when the Diablo X account released a video from Matthew Cederquist, the Diablo Legacy Lead Producer, encouraging people to tune in for “Major Updates across all of our games to share, including Diablo 2 Resurrected.” With a specific name drop for D2R, it suggests there is more to come than a couple of small updates.
This was shortly followed by a News post on Blizzard’s official website stating the Ladder will be ending February 11th but Season 13 will not be starting until February 20th, leaving a 9 day gap without a Ladder Season that one can only wonder the reason why. They once again also leave a call to action to “tune into the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight to witness a deep dive of what’s next for Diablo II: Resurrected.”
With this many clues, 2026 feels like it could be Diablo 2 Resurrected’s big year to get updates players have been wanting for a long time.
