Overview
- Multiple outlets on Wednesday reported a Dealabs leak by leaker billbil-kun that places Diablo IV on Nintendo Switch 2 in mid-September, citing a possible release date of either September 15 or September 18.
- The leak says the Switch 2 edition would retail for US$69.99 and receive a physical "code-in-box" release that contains a download code rather than a cartridge.
- Dealabs said it could not verify whether the Lord of Hatred expansion will be included with the Switch 2 release, and Blizzard, Nintendo and Xbox have not confirmed any details.
- Earlier this year rating-board listings in Taiwan and Indonesia hinted at a Switch 2 classification and helped fuel the port speculation that the current leak amplifies.
- Industry watchers note Rod Fergusson previously said Switch 2 has the hardware to run Diablo IV but that adapting live-service features for a handheld-focused platform can take extra work, and outlets expect an official reveal at Gamescom 2026 or BlizzCon 2026 before any alleged September launch.
