Diablo V: Coming Spring 2029

Sanctuary has fallen.

Diablo won.

Diablo V is officially in development and coming Spring 2029. For the first time, players will enter a Sanctuary where Diablo has triumphed and its heroes have been defeated. At the heart of Diablo V lies a defining question: what must you become when the world has already fallen?

Join us for Diablo V: Forging the Next Era panel on September 12, 1:45 p.m. PT for an early look at the world, classes and creative vision shaping the chapter of Diablo. You can also sign up for future updates at Diablo5.Blizzard.com.

The Amazon Enters the Battle in 2027

The Amazon is coming to Diablo IV in the first half of 2027. She hails from the island of Skovos, revealed for the first time in Diablo IV in Lord of Hatred.

Her return preserves the disciplined, athletic, and highly trained warrior fantasy players remember while reimagining the class for Diablo IV. Across four gameplay archetypes-Champion, Skirmisher, Ranger, and Commander-the Amazon can wield the returning bow and javelin, which introduces an entirely new weapon type to Diablo IV.

Get a closer look at the Amazon in the Diablo IV: What's Next panel on September 13, 11:00 a.m. PT. Additional class pack details will be shared at a later date.

Celebrate 30 Years with the Season of Hell's Legacy

More than 130 million players worldwide have entered Sanctuary across the Diablo franchise. Now, three decades of darkness return in Season of Hell's Legacy, a playable tribute to Diablo's most iconic characters, foes, locations and loot.

In Season of Hell's Legacy, the lost soul of Deckard Cain returns to guide you through an epic journey to redeem the dark wanderers from the torment of the Prime Evils. Confront the Prime Evils Baal, Mephisto, and Diablo, reclaim splinters of their souls, and bear the burden of one of the Splinters to assume a portion of their power. But remember: no demonic gift is bestowed without a steep price.
