Blizzard’s president says the studio is targeting one or two major game launches per year as it ramps up under Xbox — “Our fans are hungry.”

Blizzard has two major releases planned for early next year. The World of Warcraft expansion, Midnight, will launch on March 2, 2026. Diablo 4 will receive its second expansion, Lord of Hatred, on April 28, 2026, adding a new story and two new playable classes, including the Paladin, which is available for those who pre-order. It makes you wonder what Blizzard has planned beyond that, as it seems unlikely new expansions for both Diablo 4 and World of Warcraft will be ready in 2027. Could we see them release completely new games?
