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

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

Announced during a dedicated anniversary spotlight, this premium content is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $24.99 or its regional equivalent, offering fans a fresh way to experience the classic action RPG on Nintendo’s popular console. Diablo II: Resurrected, developed by Blizzard, is a modern remaster of the seminal 2000 title, retaining the original’s core gameplay while embracing enhanced graphics and contemporary features for platforms including the Nintendo Switch.

The new Reign of the Warlock DLC celebrates the series’ enduring popularity and delivers a host of features that both longtime fans and newcomers will appreciate. The centerpiece of the DLC is the introduction of the Warlock, a brand new playable class.

Players can now 'wield forbidden magic' and tap into demonic powers, unlocking diverse builds thanks to unique skills, items, sets, and new runewords added exclusively for the Warlock.

Blizzard describes this class as drawing strength from sinister pacts, giving access to gameplay styles never before seen in Diablo II: Resurrected. In a recent statement, Blizzard highlighted that Hell 'rises once more' with the launch of Reign of the Warlock.

The DLC invites adventurers old and new to rediscover the game’s iconic story and challenging gameplay while enjoying an array of fresh content and expanded endgame possibilities. Beyond the Warlock class, Reign of the Warlock introduces dynamic new Terror Zones and a challenging Colossal Ancients endgame encounter, designed to keep even veteran players on their toes.

Over 30 new items—including unique items, runewords, and exclusive sets—expand the possibilities for customization and progression.

Blizzard has also integrated modern quality-of-life upgrades such as an improved stash system and enhanced loot tracking to streamline the player experience. The launch of this DLC follows Blizzard’s broader push to celebrate its legacy IPs.

Most recently, the publisher held a spotlight broadcast for Overwatch 2, unveiling upcoming heroes and announcing significant branding changes for the shooter franchise. Diablo II: Resurrected continues to thrive with regular updates and community engagement, bolstered by its availability on platforms like the Nintendo Switch via the eShop.

With the release of Reign of the Warlock, Blizzard reinforces its commitment to evolving the Diablo experience even as the franchise commemorates three decades of influence on the gaming world.
