Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred

The Lord of Hatred stirs in Sanctuary once more: an expansion for Diablo IV, built by Blizzard Albany and loosed upon every platform the game calls home.

About

Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is an expansion for Diablo IV, developed by Blizzard Albany and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It was released on April 28, 2026, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch 2, continuing the action role-playing, dungeon-crawling and hack-and-slash bloodline of the Diablo series.

Hatred does not sleep. Whatever the expansion adds to Sanctuary, it arrived on more platforms than any chapter before it, dragging the eternal war between the Hells and the heavens onto consoles old and new alike. Dark things wait below, and the fight against them is the same as it ever was.
