Blizzard Dates Diablo V For 2029, Turns StarCraft Into A Shooter
Diablo V arrives after Sanctuary has already fallen, while Warcraft III gets its first new campaign in 23 years and World of Warcraft adds a third mode in November.
- Diablo V launches spring 2029, set after Diablo has already won and Sanctuary is gone.
- StarCraft returns in 2030 as an open-world shooter, dropping its real-time strategy roots.
- World of Warcraft: Forever launches November 4, 2026, with a new race and three zones.
Why it matters: A studio naming release years as far out as 2029 and 2030 is not selling games yet; it is renting your attention until then.
