A Taiwan rating board entry for Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred has been discovered, indicating a classification for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware commonly referred to as “Switch 2.” The listing, reported to have surfaced in April 2026, names Blizzard Entertainment’s latest expansion content — Lord of Hatred — which was released on other platforms in April 2026.
Background and context
Blizzard Entertainment developed Diablo IV, the action-RPG that launched in June 2023.
Lord of Hatred is a post-launch expansion for Diablo IV that expanded the game’s narrative and systems in April 2026.
Earlier in April, a separate rating for the same content appeared on Indonesia’s rating board, pointing to multiple regional classification entries tied to the expansion.
What the Taiwan rating shows
The Taiwan rating board entry is specifically for the Lord of Hatred expansion and lists Nintendo’s next-gen hardware platform.
The classification does not provide release windows, pricing, or confirmation of a Switch 2 launch date.
Rating board listings are administrative records and do not constitute official platform announcements from Blizzard Entertainment or Nintendo.
Expansion details (rewritten quote)
According to official expansion materials released for other platforms, Lord of Hatred tasks players with defeating the demon Mephisto, introduces new Paladin and Warlock playable classes, implements significant skill tree updates, and overhauls the game’s endgame systems.
Developer and platform history
Blizzard has previously brought Diablo titles to Nintendo hardware.
Diablo III and its expansion were released on Nintendo Switch in 2018 as Diablo III: Eternal Collection.
In 2026 Blizzard also marked Diablo’s 30th anniversary with an announcement for Reign of the Warlock, a new paid DLC class for Diablo II: Resurrected.
What this means for players and publishers
The Taiwan classification is a verifiable record that an entry for Lord of Hatred exists on a Nintendo-listed platform, but it should not be read as an official release announcement.
For confirmed platform releases, players should watch for official statements from Blizzard Entertainment or Nintendo via channels such as Nintendo Direct, Blizzard communications, and the Nintendo eShop.
The rating board listing adds to an ongoing administrative trail of regional classifications for Diablo IV content.
Until Blizzard or Nintendo provides official confirmation, the classification remains a factual data point rather than a company announcement.
