A now-deleted tweet means that Activision-Blizzard and Netflix have a Diablo animated sequence within the works.
After the success of Netflix’s Castlevania anime, nobody can be shocked if the streaming service was contemplating one other video game adaptation. Now a hastily-deleted tweet means that Diablo may very well be subsequent, implying a partnership with Activision-Blizzard.
The tweet got here from Andrew Cosby, co-writer of the Hellboy movie reboot and founding father of Boom! Studios. According to Variety (thanks IGN) he’s in ultimate talks to put in writing and show-run the sequence. “It’s very exciting and I hope to the High Heavens it all works out,” Cosby stated. Okay, he’s learn up on the lore at the very least.
Diablo is about within the fantasy world of Sanctuary, the place heroes usually face invasions of demons from the Burning Hells. There are at the moment three core video games and varied canonical novels and comedian books exploring its universe.
There’s a fairly good probability the sequence is one of the upcoming project Blizzard hinted eventually summer season. It would mark the primary televised adaptation of the favored RPG because it first launched in 1996.
I’m slightly shocked Blizzard and Netflix didn’t go together with Overwatch, however hey, I received’t complain a couple of Diablo sequence of any variety.
