With Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, and World of Warcraft, Blizzard wants to "pay more attention to what players want, and deliver on that more consistently"

For close to two decades, BlizzCon has acted as an annual State of the Union address for Blizzard Entertainment. An opportunity for five core teams to deliver their vision for the future of Diablo, Overwatch, StarCraft, Warcraft, and more. Now, as the publisher turns its attention to 2024, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra says that a key priority is to outline "the Blizzard we are today, and the Blizzard we are becoming."

How that manifests through each of the core franchises is fascinating. For Warcraft, the development teams are promoting a philosophy of transparency as they look towards milestone anniversaries. The Diablo group is investing in continuous branches of iteration and evolution, working to lay the foundation for its future. Following a divisive launch, the Overwatch division is taking risks and chasing fast feedback.
