Blizzard has just announced plans for a Diablo 20th Anniversary celebration that will feature special events in a bunch of different Blizzard games. Everything from Diablo 3 to Heroes of the Storm will have something going on for the celebration.

The specific games involved in the Diablo 20th Anniversary celebration are “Diablo III, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone, Overwatch, StarCraft II, and World of Warcraft.” Each will have its own special event, which Blizzard gave a small taste of in their announcement. You can check out what is happening in each game below.

Hearthstone: In this Tavern Brawl, a hooded stranger awaits, holding a grim deck in his hands. Will you unravel the secrets surrounding this dark wanderer?
Overwatch: Bring the battle for Sanctuary into the fight for the future with in-game sprays representing your favorite Diablo III classes—along with a new player icon modeled after the Lord of Terror!
StarCraft II: Put the Lord of Terror to work for you with a Diablo-themed worker portrait.
World of Warcraft: Strange things are afoot in the world of Azeroth as denizens of Sanctuary cross over into an unfamiliar world.
Diablo originally released on PC on December 31st, 1996. The series has certainly grown and expanded since then, but many fans still look back on that original title extremely fondly. Do you have a special Diablo memory? Let us know in the comments.
