In April, the Indonesian Board of Film Classification released a rating for Blizzard’s action‑RPG Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, signaling the game’s impending availability in the region.
More recently, a Switch 2 classification for the same expansion surfaced on Taiwan’s rating board—an update that had slipped under the radar back in April. The rating confirms that Diablo 4’s latest expansion, Lord of Hatred, will launch on Nintendo’s next‑gen console in April 2026, aligning with its releases on other platforms.
Players can look forward to confronting the demonic overlord Mephisto, mastering the newly introduced Paladin and Warlock classes, unlocking significant skill‑tree revisions, and navigating a revamped end‑game landscape.
This scenario echoes past instances where third‑party titles have been unveiled through classification announcements. Until Blizzard issues an official statement, the gaming community must await confirmation.
Blizzard marked the 30th anniversary of the iconic Diablo franchise earlier this year by unveiling “Reign of the Warlock,” a premium downloadable class for Diablo II: Resurrected. The company also had previously brought Diablo III and its expansions to the Nintendo Switch back in 2018.
