New official Diablo release leaked

It seems like a new one Diablo the release is just around the corner, if a new leak is any indication. Diablo is quite easily one of Blizzard's most popular franchises, and so it makes sense that the company is trying to bring the action RPG to as many platforms as possible. Really, Diablo 3 had quite a bit of momentum, spanning several generations of consoles.

The first edition of Diablo 3 was PC-only, but then the game was ported to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. After that, Blizzard released native PS4 and Xbox One versions of Diablo 3before finally bringing the game to the Nintendo Switch six years after its initial release. Diablo 3 on Nintendo Switch even included some platform-exclusive content, with Blizzard including amiibo support and adding content based on Nintendo's beloved The Legend of Zelda franchise. The Switch version of the Diablo 3 received critical acclaim and is widely considered to be one of the better ways to play the games thanks to its portability, and so many have long assumed that the follow-up, Diablo 4would eventually make it to the Switch 2.

Then Diablo 4 The base game launched in 2023 to rave reviews, Blizzard has supported the game with significant free updates as well as paid expansions. The first one Diablo 4 expansion, Vessel of Hatred, was released in 2024 and added the Spiritborn class to the game along with the new Nahantu jungle region. Vessel of Hatred received similar acclaim to the base game, as did the second expansion, Lord of Hatred.

Like Vessel of Hatred, Lord of Hatred added a new region Diablo 4with players now able to explore Skovos. Additionally, Lord of Hatred has introduced the Paladin and Warlock classes to the game, giving players even more options when deciding to create a new character. If the Switch 2 version comes with the Lord of Hatred subtitle, it's not a stretch to assume that these classes and anything else added in the expansion will be part of the package, but it's also possible that Switch 2 players will only get the base game and have to purchase the DLC separately.

Such details will be ironed out when Blizzard decides to officially announce Diablo 4 for the Nintendo Switch 2. Leaks of the game have been consistent enough that an announcement is a matter of when, not if, at this point, but time will tell when Blizzard decides to reveal it.
