30 years ago, Diablo players descended into Tristram Cathedral for the first time to face the Lord of Terror. The game has come a long way in 3 decades, and we’ve been waiting with bated breath to see what’s next for the franchise during Blizzard’s anniversary celebrations.
During the official Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight, Blizzard delivered the news fans have been waiting for: a brand-new class, The Warlock, is officially joining the ranks of Diablo 4, Diablo Immortal, and, in a reveal nobody saw coming, Diablo 2: Resurrected.
The Warlock is now officially confirmed as the "heavy metal" new class coming to Diablo 4’s second expansion, Lord of Hatred, launching April 28, 2026.
But the real jaw dropper is that Reign of the Warlock shadowdrops TODAY for Diablo 2: Resurrected players. This marks the first time in 25 years that the game gets a new playable hero. Adding more to the surprise, Diablo 2: Resurrected also launches on Steam today for the first time. SIDE NOTE: The base game is available on Xbox Game Pass Premium from today.
