Diablo IV Nintendo Switch 2 rumor explained
Diablo IV, the action RPG developed by Blizzard Entertainment that launched on June 6, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, is now the subject of a high-profile platform rumor.
A widely circulated report from a leaker known online as billbil-kun claims the game will come to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware — referred to in the leak as “Nintendo Switch 2” — with a September release window and a $69.99 price point.
What the leak reports (paraphrased)
- Leaker billbil-kun, who has a documented track record of retailer-related leaks, states that Diablo IV is scheduled for release on either September 15 or September 18.
- The report specifies the title would be sold at retail as a boxed product containing a download code, alongside availability on the Nintendo eShop.
- The leak lists a suggested retail price of $69.99.
Context and verifiable facts
Diablo IV was developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released in June 2023 across PC and current and previous-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
The Nintendo eShop is Nintendo’s digital storefront for Switch platforms, and boxed products that contain download codes are an established retail distribution method for Switch software.
Beyond the claims attributed to billbil-kun, there has been no official confirmation from Blizzard Entertainment or Nintendo regarding a Switch or next-generation Switch release of Diablo IV.
Why this matters
A confirmed port of Diablo IV to Nintendo hardware would expand the game’s platform availability and bring Blizzard’s action-RPG to a new handheld/home hybrid audience.
If the reported price and boxed-code distribution are accurate, the release would follow modern digital-first retail practices commonly used for Switch titles.
Current status
The information above reflects a single-source leak and has not been corroborated by Blizzard Entertainment, Nintendo, or major retailers.
Until either company issues an official announcement, the report should be treated as unconfirmed.
We will update coverage if Blizzard or Nintendo provides verification or an official release date and pricing.
