New information on Switch 2 Diablo 4 port emerges, including release date and DLC inclusion

More information has emerged on the still as-yet unannounced Switch 2 port of Diablo 4.

Earlier this month Dealabs writer billbil-kun, who has an extremely lengthy and accurate record of leaking hardware and software news before it’s officially announced, said the game was indeed nearing completion on Switch 2.

Now they’ve posted an update to their original report, adding more information including a release date and information on DLC.

According to the insider, the game is set for release on Switch 2 on September 15, at a price of $69.99 / €69.99 / £62.99.

The Switch 2 version will reportedly be the Age of Hatred Collection, which means it will consist of the base Diablo 4 game as well as its two expansions, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred.

They also reiterated their previous report that the game will receive a physical release, but that will only be a code in a box rather than a cartridge or Game-Key Card.

The leaker says they’re not yet certain when the game will officially be announced, but states that according to their sources pre-orders are set to open on September 12, the day BlizzCon 2026 starts.

It’s suggested, then, that the Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 may be announced during the first day of BlizzCon, with pre-orders opening immediately after the announcement.

Blizzard could also potentially announce the Switch 2 version during the Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation, which takes place on August 25.

The studio has made appearances during the last three Gamescom Opening Night Live shows, announcing Diablo 4’s Season of Blood during the 2023 show, a trailer for Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred during the 2024 show and the reveal of World of Warcraft: Midnight at last year’s show.

In April 2025, Diablo series head Rod Fergusson stated that there was nothing to stop Diablo 4 running on Switch 2 in terms of performance, and the studio just had to figure out how to make a live service game work well on a system that is often played handheld, sometimes away from a permanent online connection.

“It’s nice the Switch 2 has the performance that can run a game like Diablo 4, so yeah, it’s something to look at for sure,” he explained at the time. “I think the challenge is less around the hardware and just about how we… you know, live services on Switch have been a little bit challenging in the past.

“So I’m hopeful that as [Nintendo launch Switch 2] this June and as we look to the future, that becomes easier and easier, so it makes more sense to put a live service on that platform.”
