Diablo 4 coming to Switch 2 soon, new report says

Published Aug 5, 2026, 1:43 PM EDT

French outlet Dealabs Magazine, citing recent ratings board listings, reports that Diablo 4 is slated for Switch 2 on either Sept. 15 or Sept. 18. The publication says the game will retail for $69.99 in the U.S. and receive a physical "code in a box" release, meaning the package would include a download code instead of a physical cartridge.

Earlier this year, the Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS) reportedly listed Diablo 4's Lord of Hatred expansion for Nintendo Switch alongside other platforms before the listing drew attention and was seemingly pulled. More recently, Taiwan's ratings board briefly published a Switch 2 classification for the game before it was removed, lending additional credibility to rumors that Blizzard has been preparing a port.

Blizzard and Xbox have not officially announced a Switch 2 version of Diablo 4, but Dealabs claims it has independently confirmed the game's existence. The outlet states it was unable to verify whether the Lord of Hatred expansion will be included in the release. Polygon has contacted Blizzard Entertainment for confirmation and will update this story when the company responds.

Polygon's review of the Lord of Hatred expansion praised the add-on for improving the endgame and introducing the new Spiritborn class, though its review noted that some of the game's broader issues remained.

A reveal could be just weeks away

If the report is accurate, an official reveal at Gamescom later this month could be on the table. Xbox has already confirmed it will have a major presence at Gamescom 2026 as part of its 25th anniversary celebration and some heavy hitters are already set to be shown: Playground Games will deliver Fable's first live gameplay demonstration to the public and more information on Alien Isolation 2 will be available.

Other unreleased games that will be at Microsoft’s booth include Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Gears of War: E-Day, Minecraft Dungeons 2, Metro 2039, The Blood of Dawnwalker, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, and Valor Mortis. The company will have 140 gaming stations in total.

A Switch 2 release would also add another major third-party title to Nintendo's growing lineup. The system has shown it can handle graphically demanding games, though recent ports have also highlighted the hardware's limitations. How Diablo 4 performs on Nintendo's hardware remains to be seen until Blizzard officially unveils the port.

There's certainly precedent for demon-slaying action on Switch. Blizzard released Diablo 3 on the original Nintendo Switch back in 2018, and brought Diablo 2 Resurrected to Nintendo's console in 2021.
