Diablo franchise boss Rod Fergusson reckons Blizzard’s long-running action-RPG series would make a great TV show.
Of course, it seems like everyone in the world right now is talking about Amazon Prime’sFallout TV show, and for good reason. ButWindow Centraldutifully asked Fergusson amid Fallout’s success if he could envision a similar adaptation for Diablo, and Fergusson is all about it. While nothing’s been revealed, and we have no reason to believe there’s anythingtobe revealed, Fergusson said Diablo’s universal themes would make for compelling TV.
“Yeah I definitely think it could work,” he said. “That’s one of the things I really liked about Diablo as an IP, is that it’s got very relatable themes because it’s The High Heavens versus The Burning Hells, and that idea of Good versus Evil. I think that’s something that could translate very well to something like that. You know, I wish I had something I could talk to you about today. But in terms of just the general idea, do I think it could work? I definitely do.”
The Fallout TV show, meanwhile, has been a massive success with viewers and critics andhas already been given the green light for season 2.
