Following a report last month from billbil-kun at DealLabs, whose record reporting on leaks speaks for itself, which suggested that a Nintendo Switch 2 release for Diablo IV was nearing completion, their original report has received an update that now includes a release date and details on exactly what content is included.
According to the new report, Diablo IV is set to release on September 15 this year for Nintendo Switch 2, indicating that we’ll likely get the official reveal at the upcoming Gamescom Opening Night Live later this month, or at next month’s BlizzCon, which kicks off September 12.
The report also suggests that the Switch 2 version will be the Age of Hatred bundle, which includes the game’s two major expansions, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred, as well as the base game.
It’s expected that the game will launch for USD 70, although there’s no indication of what Australia’s RRP might be.
It’s suggested that while the game will receive a full physical release, it’ll only be a download code in the box, as opposed to a cartridge or Game-Key card.
We reviewed Diablo IV back at launch, giving it a 9 out of 10, stating: “Diablo IV is an unquestionable win for Blizzard and one of their foundational franchises when it needed it most.
“An unrelenting commitment to vision, redefined Sanctuary, never-ending player progression, and excellent boss fights are just a few of the reasons Diablo IV isn’t held back by uneven pacing and recycled content.”
Our reviews for Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred can be found HERE and HERE, respectively.
