Overview
- News sites found a Switch 2 classification for Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred on Taiwan’s rating board that matches an earlier Nintendo-related entry on Indonesia’s board, prompting renewed talk of a Switch 2 release.
- The Lord of Hatred expansion is already available on other platforms and the rating entries appear to have been recorded in April but were only noticed by outlets this month.
- Journalists stress that national ratings often surface before public announcements and do not by themselves prove a planned launch, and neither Blizzard nor Nintendo has confirmed a Switch 2 version.
- Porting is plausible given Blizzard’s past release of Diablo III on the original Switch and a former franchise lead previously called a Switch 2 edition “something to look at,” which industry observers cite as context.
- Watch for an official statement from Blizzard or Nintendo or a listing on digital storefronts as the next clear signs of a formal Switch 2 release, while players weigh the prospect of a portable option for expansion content.
