An Overwatch 2 announcement is in the cards too

Despite all the negative press Blizzard received in the last couple of weeks due to banning Taiwanese Hearthstone player Blitzhchung, BlizzCon 2019 shapes up to be a very interesting event. Set to debut on November 1, this year's BlizzCon is likely to feature a lot of major announcements, which will touch some of the studio's most beloved franchises.

For starters, Diablo 4 is one of the big announcements that Blizzards is expected to run early next month, GamesRadar+ reports. According to industry inside known on Twitter as Metro, a source with a proven track record of breaking BlizzCon news before it's made official, Diablo 4 and Diablo 2 Remastered will be revealed on November 1.

To support its leaked information, Metro shared some images of BlizzCon 2019's promotional material from another Twitter source, which mentions Diablo 4 in a text from a new art book that will be available for purchase at the event.

Indeed, this isn't the first time that we learn about Blizzard's Diablo 4 project, but it's the first time that we have information suggesting the game will be officially introduced this year. Last year, Diablo fans were disappointed by Blizzard's approach, as the company preferred to launch Diablo Immortal, a mobile game, rather than give players what they're waiting for.

However, this might be the first time that we have clear evidence that a Diablo 2 remaster is in the works, which leads us to believe that the project is much younger than Diablo 4. Both titles are highly-anticipated and if Blizzard handles them well, it might wash away some of the negative feedback it received in the last couple of years.

The source of the report mentions claims that if the information about Diablo 4 and Diablo 2 Remastered is accurate, then the previously leaked details about Overwatch 2 might be correct as well. Luckily, we won't have to wait too long to learn about Blizzard's plans, as BlizzCon 2019 is just around the corner.
