Blizzard Celebrates Diablo’s 20th Anniversary With In-Game Events And Goodies In Other Games, but There’s More In Store For The Game

"Diablo" is celebrating its 20th anniversary on December 31, and Blizzard wants its other games, such as "Overwatch" and "StarCraft 2" among others, to celebrate it as well. One gaming news website says the celebration could just be the beginning as Blizzard's career openings show they have more in store.

According to the "Diablo 3" website, Blizzard will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the "Diablo" by offering fans in-game items and events, for a limited time only, in the games that they have developed. The games included are "Overwatch," "Heroes of the Storm," "World of Warcraft," "StarCraft 2," and "Hearthstone."

Blizzard will be kicking off the event with "The Darkening of Tristram" tribute event, which allows players to visit a reimagined version of the original "Diablo" cathedral. Players would need to keep a lookout for familiar items.

Some examples of the Diablo-themed goodies Blizzard has in store is an in-game spray in "Overwatch," representing Diablo III classes, a Diablo-themed worker portrait in "StarCraft 2," and battling a hooded stranger in the Tavern Brawl of "Hearthstone," Visit the Diablo 3 website for a list of more in-game events and goodies that Blizzard is offering.

GameRant, though, said Diablo's 20th-anniversary celebration could just be the beginning and fans could have something to look forward to. During mid-year, Blizzard's career page have a lot of openings that's related to an "unannounced 'Diablo' project."

The report said this could just be Blizzard's way of trying to bolster the team that's supporting "Diablo 3" with a lot of important post-launch content.
