    Diablo’s Next Era Revealed at BlizzCon 2026: Opening Ceremonies Recap

    Blizzard used the BlizzCon 2026 opening ceremony to announce Diablo V for Spring 2029, an Amazon class pack for Diablo IV in 2027, an animated Diablo series with Netflix, and Diablo IV on Nintendo Switch 2.

    • —Diablo V is set in a Sanctuary where Diablo has won and its heroes have been defeated. Blizzard is taking sign-ups for updates at Diablo5.Blizzard.com.
    • —The Amazon hails from the island of Skovos and plays across four archetypes: Champion, Skirmisher, Ranger and Commander. She brings the javelin, a new weapon type for Diablo IV, alongside the bow.
    • —The Switch 2 release is the Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection, bundling the base game with the Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred expansions.
    • —Switch 2 supports mouse and keyboard over USB. Joy-Con 2 mouse functionality is not supported.

    For your guild
    Nothing to schedule yet. The Amazon carries only a first-half-of-2027 window, with class pack details promised later, and Diablo V is three years out. The Switch 2 release is out now, but the post does not say whether it plays across platforms.

    Season of Hell’s Legacy Is Live — Play for Free

    Season of Hell's Legacy is live. A questline led by Deckard Cain sends players into Waking Nightmares rebuilt from earlier Diablo games to collect three Splinters of Evil. The base game is free on Steam to level 30 until 21 September.

    • —Only one Splinter is borne at a time. Diablo's modifies Helltide and Infernal Hordes, Baal's the Undercity and Lair Bosses, and Mephisto's the Pit and Nightmare Dungeons.
    • —Each reputation track has eight activity modifiers and six upgrades to an Iconic Power that erupts in combat. The Splinter also makes its bearer more vulnerable to that Prime Evil.
    • —The largest Waking Nightmares are fixed-difficulty Capstone dungeons, replayable on Torment levels and offered as pinnacle Capstones at Torment 10 and above.
    • —Up to three Soul Splinter gems fit in jewelry slots, each pairing a boon with a liability.

    For your guild
    A group that farms one activity together should agree on a Splinter, since each buffs a different pair of endgame activities and changing it means another run of the largest Waking Nightmares. The free window is the week to bring in a friend.

›About this page

The Guild Post gathers the latest Diablo IV news from Blizzard Entertainment and the wider community into one page — patch notes, updates, and announcements as they publish, each linking back to the original source. Season launches, class balance patches, and the endgame and loot reworks that restart the climb.

Where does Diablo IV news come from?
We aggregate Diablo IV dispatches from Blizzard Entertainment and community sources and link each headline back to its original publisher. We summarize and point out; we don't republish full articles.
How often is this page updated?
Continuously — the Diablo IV feed refreshes as new news is published (cached for about 30 minutes), so the latest dispatches are always near the top.
Can I follow Diablo IV news without checking the site?
Yes. Subscribe to the Diablo IV RSS feed, or get a free weekly digest tailored to every game you play with a Guild Order account.
