Update: As expected, the full reveal of Lord of Hatred as the next Diablo 4 expansion landed during The Game Awards, confirming an April 2026 release date and a whole lot of Diablo 2 nostalgia.
Original story: It's usually safe to expect some big announcement to leak ahead of a show like The Game Awards 2025, but usually those leaks don't come from the game publishers themselves. Blizzard has quite unceremoniously lifted the veil on Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, and while they're saving any details beyond that name for the show tonight, it sure seems likely that this is the action RPG's next expansion pack.
