Background
Diablo IV, developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment, originally launched on June 6, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
The Diablo franchise is a flagship property for Blizzard, which also runs the annual BlizzCon convention for major announcements and community events.
What was reported
Industry leaker billbil-kun has posted claims that Diablo IV will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15, 2026 and that the release will include the game’s expanded content under what the leak calls the “Age of Hatred Collection.” The report lists the expansions Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred as part of that collection and states the Switch 2 edition would see a boxed “code in a box” physical release priced at $69.99 / £62.99, with pre-orders opening on September 12, 2026.
Rewriting notable statements
In a summary of the leak, billbil-kun said that “two independent leaks, originating from two official classification bodies (Indonesia and then Taiwan), point towards this version.” Put plainly: the leaker pointed to separate classification filings in Indonesia and Taiwan as the basis for the Switch 2 listing.
The report also connected timing to Blizzard’s calendar, noting that the alleged September 15 release would fall shortly after Blizzard’s BlizzCon event.
In journalistic terms: the leaker suggested an announcement window around BlizzCon, with a possible product launch soon after the show, though no official Blizzard confirmation has been provided.
Verified context and what is confirmed
- Diablo IV release date (original): June 6, 2023, on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC. - Developer/publisher: Blizzard Entertainment. - BlizzCon is Blizzard’s recurring convention where the company often makes major Diablo-related announcements.
What remains unverified
The Switch 2 release date, the inclusion of the Age of Hatred Collection, the named expansions, the stated price and the pre-order timing are reported claims from an industry leaker and from alleged classification listings; they have not been officially confirmed by Blizzard, Nintendo, or classified agencies in public statements.
Takeaway
This report from a known industry leaker has drawn attention because it ties a Switch 2 release to multiple alleged classification filings and to Blizzard’s announcement cycle.
For now, the only confirmed facts are Diablo IV’s original 2023 release platforms and Blizzard’s role as developer; all Switch 2 details should be treated as unconfirmed until official announcements from Blizzard or Nintendo appear.
