Blizzard used its Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight to outline what’s next for the long-running action RPG franchise, with the Warlock class positioned as the centerpiece of updates across Diablo 4, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 2: Resurrected in 2026. The 40-minute presentation focused on new content, system overhauls, and roadmap details, while also acknowledging long-requested quality-of-life improvements.
The biggest headline from the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight is the introduction of the Warlock class across all three active Diablo titles. In Diablo 4, the Warlock will join the Paladin as part of the Lord of Hatred expansion launching April 28 for PC and consoles. Blizzard confirmed that more details about the class will be shared during a developer update scheduled for March 5. In Diablo Immortal, the Warlock arrives in June with a distinct toolkit that includes demon skull abilities, a sacrificial blade, and a creature called the Soulgorger. Meanwhile, Diablo 2: Resurrected has already received The Reign of the Warlock DLC, available now for $24.99.
For Diablo 2: Resurrected, the Warlock represents the first entirely new class added to the Diablo 2 framework in decades. The Reign of the Warlock expansion introduces demon-summoning mechanics centered on binding and consuming demonic entities, altering a formula that has remained largely intact since the early 2000s. The update also expands Terror Zones in Hell difficulty, adding Heralds of Terror enemies and new endgame bosses called the Colossal Ancients, unlocked by collecting and combining special statues.
Beyond new content, Blizzard implemented several quality-of-life changes in Diablo 2: Resurrected. Players can now create and share community loot filters without relying on external mods. Stash management has been expanded with stackable items and dedicated tabs for materials, gems, and runes. A new feature called The Chronicle tracks items for players who prefer more structured inventory management.
Diablo Immortal is also receiving a broader content push. Lut Gholein returns as a playable location, divided into Common Ward and High Ward districts, with design inspiration drawn from Moroccan architecture. The Demon Queen Andariel will serve as a major antagonist, featuring a redesigned appearance. Blizzard’s 2026 roadmap for Diablo Immortal outlines quarterly updates, including new subzones, monsters, bounties, and battleground events.
In Diablo 4, Lord of Hatred expands the game world with Skovos and its capital city, Temis. Blizzard also revealed a significant skill tree rework aimed at providing more meaningful build diversity. The update includes changes to class abilities, such as expanded customization options for the Sorcerer’s Hydra skill. Additionally, a new Talisman system reintroduces charms and set-style itemization, offering deeper character customization.
The presentation concluded with a brief tease of future announcements expected at BlizzCon on September 12–13. While details remain undisclosed, the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight makes clear that Blizzard intends to support all three Diablo platforms with coordinated updates rather than focusing on a single flagship title.
