Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Diablo 4 is reportedly set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 around the week of September 15, three years after its initial release, with a price of $70.
- It remains unclear if the Switch 2 version will include the latest Lord of Hatred expansion, and the game will be distributed as a code in a box.
- The delayed porting of Diablo 4 and other major titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is attributed to technical challenges, including unsupported Unreal Engine 5 features and complexities with live service games on the Switch 2.
- Former Diablo franchise head Rod Fergusson noted that the Switch 2’s hardware can handle Diablo 4, but live service integration on the platform has been challenging.
- Despite the delay, the arrival of Diablo 4 on a handheld device like the Switch 2 is anticipated, especially given the limited availability and high cost of alternatives like the Steam Deck.
