Summary
BlizzCon 2026 is expected to center on StarCraft’s first major revival since 2015, with Blizzard tipped to reveal an open-world shooter featuring Terran marines fighting Zerg.
Dan Hay, a former Far Cry leader, is said to be involved in the project, while Blizzard hiring for vehicular, first-person and third-person combat has reinforced expectations of a big-budget reveal.
Warcraft is also poised for a heavy showing, with likely details on World of Warcraft’s Midnight patch, The Last Titan, and possible "Classic+" or RTS-related announcements.
Overwatch and Diablo are expected to get new content reveals as well, including heroes, Diablo IV seasonal plans and possible transmedia projects such as TV or animation adaptations.
The event would mark Blizzard’s broadest franchise push since BlizzCon 2023, underscoring renewed momentum across its lineup under Xbox.
