Diablo II: Resurrected Launches Reign of the Warlock DLC on Nintendo Switch

Blizzard Entertainment has marked the 30th anniversary of the iconic Diablo franchise with the launch of Reign of the Warlock, a substantial new DLC update for Diablo II: Resurrected.

Effective immediately, Nintendo Switch players can access and purchase this highly anticipated expansion via the Nintendo eShop, further extending the game's longevity on the hybrid platform. Diablo II: Resurrected, known for its faithful recreation of the classic 2000 action RPG, has attracted both veteran and new players since its release on Nintendo Switch and other platforms.

The Reign of the Warlock DLC continues this legacy by introducing an entirely new class, expansive endgame content, and a suite of quality-of-life improvements for fans. The headline feature of this DLC is the Warlock, a formidable spellcasting class forged from forbidden pacts with the powers of Hell.

Players can experiment with three distinct skill trees: the Demon path offers mastery over enslaving hellspawn as loyal minions, Eldritch infuses standard weapons with potent mental energies, and Chaos commands elemental destruction through fire and shadow.

This new class framework introduces unprecedented versatility and strategic depth, inviting players to craft unique builds for both solo and cooperative play. Further enriching the experience, Reign of the Warlock expands the game's loot and progression systems.

The Chronicle system tracks achievements and collected items across accounts, while new unique items, sets, and runewords enhance the customization potential for every class.

The updated Terror Zones now grant players greater agency, letting them choose battlegrounds tailored to their desired challenges and preferred tactics. Endgame content has also been elevated: the return of the Ancients provides a formidable test for seasoned warriors, with encounters that demand refined builds and precise teamwork.

Meanwhile, resource management takes a leap forward thanks to newly introduced Stash Tabs, which now include dedicated sections for gems, materials, and runes.

A customizable Loot Filter helps players quickly identify their most valuable gear while minimizing on-screen clutter.

Notably, users nostalgic for past experiences can toggle between updated and classic visual modes with ease. Cross-game rewards further sweeten the DLC package for fans invested in Blizzard’s broader ecosystem.

Progress in Diablo II: Resurrected unlocks exclusive items such as the Kervek the Putrid Pet and Forbidden Tethers Back Trophy in Diablo IV, along with the revered Horadric Cube housing item in World of Warcraft—acknowledging player achievements across multiple major releases. The Reign of the Warlock DLC is available for immediate download via the Nintendo eShop.

Since its launch, Diablo II: Resurrected has received ongoing support and content updates, underscoring Blizzard Entertainment’s commitment to its community on Nintendo Switch.

For players seeking enhanced class diversity, deeper loot systems, and new challenges, this DLC marks a significant evolution for the storied action RPG. Stay tuned for the official Reign of the Warlock trailer and further Nintendo Switch updates right here.
