Diablo IV originally launched on June 6, 2023, and the franchise itself dates back to 1996; the milestone anniversary in 2026 has prompted anniversary-themed content across Blizzard's release calendar.
According to the publisher, the Age of Hatred Collection on Nintendo Switch 2 packages the Diablo IV base game together with two major expansions, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred.
Blizzard describes the Collection as delivering the full Diablo IV campaign experience on Nintendo's newest hardware, with on‑the‑go play via the Nintendo Switch 2 and digital availability through the Nintendo eShop.
Blizzard summarized the content lineup in practical terms: the collection includes the base game plus both expansions, and supports all major class options introduced across Diablo IV's post‑launch content.
Playable classes listed by the developer include Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Paladin, Rogue, Sorcerer, Spiritborn, and Warlock.
These classes let players pursue deep build customization, gear progression, and the seasonal systems Diablo IV has used to refresh endgame activities.
On narrative and seasonal framing, Blizzard positions the release within the Season of Hell's Legacy, an anniversary season intended to celebrate Diablo's history while advancing Diablo IV's ongoing storyline.
The developer has highlighted the game's central mythos — including the role of Lilith and the Wanderer — as focal points for the Age of Hatred campaigns.
For readers tracking platform releases, this launch marks Blizzard's continued effort to bring Diablo IV to a wider range of hardware.
Diablo IV is developed by Blizzard Entertainment and debuted on PC and major consoles in 2023; the Age of Hatred Collection extends that availability to Nintendo's latest system.
Digital purchases and updates are handled through the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch 2.
What this means for players: the Collection consolidates core and expansion content for new and returning players who want a single-package way to experience Diablo IV on Nintendo hardware.
