Diablo 4 is reportedly slated for a September release on the Nintendo Switch 2, according to reports citing game classification data from Indonesia and Taiwan. This potential port may represent the first of several Diablo-related announcements expected around this year's BlizzCon.
The game is said to be priced at $70 and will receive a physical release, though this will consist of a code in a box rather than a physical cartridge. It remains unclear whether this version will include Diablo 4's two expansions, including the recently released Lord of Hatred. The current retail price for Diablo 4 on other platforms is $50, with a $70 collection that bundles both expansions available.
Blizzard has a history of releasing Diablo titles on Nintendo platforms, having previously launched Diablo 3 and Diablo 2: Resurrected on the Nintendo Switch. The exact timing of an official reveal for the Switch 2 version is uncertain, though it could coincide with Gamescom in late August, where Xbox, Diablo 4's publisher, will have a presence. However, a BlizzCon announcement on September 12-13 appears more probable, given the alleged September 15 or 18 release date.
Diablo 4 has seen significant developments this year, with the Lord of Hatred expansion receiving positive reception, despite some player criticism regarding recent changes to Mythic items in the current season. Blizzard has confirmed plans to share more details about the game's upcoming season at BlizzCon, including the addition of classic items from prior Diablo games and the ability for players to use the same character across seasons. The company has indicated that BlizzCon 2024 will feature major reveals for its franchises, with Blizzard president Johanna Faries describing 2026 as Blizzard's "biggest year yet."
