Netflix's Diablo Series Will Reportedly be Animated


Fans got very excited when a Diablo series was rumored for Netflix. The games have resonated with a lot of players and the fact that the third game coming to Switch still has a lot of hype behind it, even though it's available on a variety of consoles, shows how popular this franchise is.

Now, if Variety is correct, it looks like the series coming to Netflix is going to be an animated series, which is great news for fans of the games and animation in general. Video game adaptations often struggle when turned into live-action and if the success of Castlevania is anything to go by, this was a very smart move.

In a deleted tweet, Boom! Studios founder Andrew Cosby also tweeted out something about Diablo, though it has since been deleted. Cosby stated that they are in final talks to make the series and he hopes everything works out. We're also hoping it works out since we are in need of good video game adaptations and we want more than Castlevania, which is a pretty good series to be fair.

There is a lot of material to base an animated series on if the creators take this seriously. Considering how these games often deal with demons from hell and other dark fantasy material, expect this to be an R-rated series. It will be on Netflix after all, so don't expect any limitations when it comes to this series, assuming it comes into fruition.

We did see a lot of dead babies in Castlevania.

BlizzCon is coming soon, so we could be seeing a series reveal happen in that event. There will also probably be a lot of news for Overwatch and Diablo 3 since that game has been getting a ton of updates.

Diablo 3 is coming to Switch this November. The game is also available on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
