The long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 is reportedly set to release on September 15, according to leaker billbil-kun, who previously hinted at the game's existence on the platform. This rumored release date places the launch two days after Blizzard's annual BlizzCon event, which is scheduled for September 12-13. It remains unclear whether Diablo 4 will be officially revealed at BlizzCon or potentially at Gamescom next week, a venue where Diablo 3's Switch port was first announced.
The Switch 2 edition is expected to be released as the "Age of Hatred Collection" and will include both of the action role-playing game's expansions: Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred. Diablo 4 originally launched in June 2023, with the Switch 2 hardware releasing in June of the previous year. The inclusion of both expansions in a single package suggests significant content for the reported price of £63.
Blizzard has followed a yearly expansion cycle for Diablo 4, with Lord of Hatred arriving in April of this year. The "Age of Hatred" arc, centered on Mephisto, is nearing its conclusion, and further details about future content are anticipated at BlizzCon. Despite recent widespread restructuring within Microsoft's Xbox division, which has led to job cuts, Blizzard has been noted as a top-performing studio largely due to Diablo 4's success. This performance could potentially shield the studio from further organizational changes.
