📺 OVERWATCH X NETFLIX: ANIMATED SERIES IN THE WORKS?

Important before getting into it: this is a rumor, unconfirmed by either Blizzard or Netflix. Speculation about an animated Overwatch adaptation has resurfaced.

What's being rumored

• In development: Xbox deal — Netflix is reportedly negotiating a broad alliance with Xbox Game Studios, beyond just a single Overwatch project.
• Not new: already tried before — a similar project was reportedly canceled a while back for other reasons, which adds some reasonable skepticism to this new rumor.
• BlizzCon 2026: possible announcement — it would be the logical venue to confirm it officially if the project moves forward.

Why the history matters

The fact that a similar project already failed before is the most relevant part of this story. This isn't the first time an animated Overwatch series has come up, and that prior history should temper any expectations until there's real confirmation.

What to watch for

If BlizzCon 2026 passes without any related announcement, that's a reasonably strong signal the rumor didn't pan out this time either.
