Diablo 5 revealed at BlizzCon 2026, with a spring 2029 release planned
Blizzard has shown a new entry in its action role-playing series, but it is still years away.
Blizzard used BlizzCon 2026 to announce Diablo 5. The game is not scheduled before spring 2029, leaving a long wait ahead of its release.
The reveal went against expectations. Many had anticipated an expansion for Diablo 4 that would introduce a new Baal storyline, rather than a new entry in the series.
What was shown at the convention gives an early sense of the project. It is an action role-playing game, and the material presented suggests something that goes beyond a direct follow-up to Diablo 4.
Blizzard has not yet detailed the game’s content or the platforms it will run on. The studio has several years to clarify those points before the announced window.
