Blizzard Entertainment has officially confirmed that Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection will launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15, 2026. The announcement, made during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2026, positions the title as a “complete edition” for Nintendo’s new hardware, bundling the base game with its two major narrative expansions.
The collection is priced at $69.99 (£62.99 / €69.99) and includes the original Diablo IV experience alongside the Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred expansions. This release marks the first time the game and its additional regions—Nahantu and Skovos—have been packaged into a single SKU for a new platform launch.
For physical media collectors, the retail version of the Age of Hatred Collection arrives with a significant technical caveat. The physical edition is a “code-in-box” release, meaning the packaging does not contain a game cartridge. Players will be required to download the entire software package digitally.
The Switch 2 version supports full cross-play and cross-progression via Battle.net, allowing players to carry over their characters from PC or other consoles. According to reporting from Nintendo Life, the game requires a persistent internet connection and a Nintendo Switch Online membership to access multiplayer and online features.
The Age of Hatred Collection features a total of eight playable classes. In addition to the original five—Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer—the bundle includes the Spiritborn from the Vessel of Hatred expansion, as well as the Paladin and Warlock classes introduced in Lord of Hatred.
Blizzard also confirmed that an additional Amazon class pack is currently scheduled to join the game’s roster in the first half of 2027.
While the Age of Hatred Collection represents the definitive version of the current game, Blizzard also used the BlizzCon event to look further ahead. The studio formally announced Diablo V, which is currently projected for a Spring 2029 release. This puts the Switch 2 port of Diablo IV at the center of the franchise’s roadmap for the next three years as the primary supported entry on Nintendo hardware.
