BlizzCon 2026 opened with one of the most surprising reveals in recent memory. Diablo 5 is officially confirmed and coming in Spring 2029. Blizzard dropped a teaser during the opening ceremony and followed it up with a dedicated panel that revealed far more than anyone expected for a game this early in development. Here is everything announced.

Diablo 5 Release Date

Diablo 5 is targeting a Spring 2029 release. The game is still early in development, so that window could shift, but Blizzard felt confident enough to put a timeframe on it at BlizzCon. Platforms have not been officially detailed beyond the game existing on current-generation hardware.

All Confirmed Diablo 5 Classes

Blizzard confirmed three classes at BlizzCon 2026. Here are the confirmed classes:

  • Demon Hunter
  • Monk
  • Plague Knight

Shely also confirmed that Diablo 5 will launch with more classes total than any previous Diablo game, with the three announced so far being just the beginning of the full roster reveal.

What Else Was Announced

Alongside the Diablo 5 reveal, Blizzard used BlizzCon to announce several updates for Diablo 4 as well:

  1. Diablo 4 Season of Hell's Legacy launches on September 15 to celebrate the franchise's history, bringing back old enemies including Mephisto, Deckard Cain, and Diablo himself alongside other returning elements from across the series.
  2. Amazon class coming to Diablo 4 in the first half of 2027 as part of a class pack. The Amazon focuses on fast movement, bow combat, and a new weapon type called the javelin.
  3. Diablo: Age of Hatred collection which includes Diablo 4 and both expansions, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15 alongside the Season of Hell's Legacy launch.

A world where Diablo has actually won is one of the franchise's most compelling setups, and the Plague Knight sounds like exactly the kind of outrageous dark fantasy class that Diablo does best. Launching with more classes than any previous entry is a bold promise, and if Blizzard delivers on that alongside the new setting, Diablo 5 could be something special. 2029 is a long way off, but this is a very strong first look.
