Blizzard has unveiled Diablo V at BlizzCon 2026, a new entry in the popular action-RPG franchise. The game, still years away from release, will focus on Diablo, the Prime Evil, who had previously turned Sanctuary into a twisted hellish realm. Diablo V is set 100 years after Diablo IV and seven years after the Lord of Terror's dominion.
Players will assume the role of the Heir to Westmarch, a kingdom in the game, and will have to navigate a desolate world without safe havens or traditional heroes. Diablo V will feature three playable classes: Demon Hunter, Monk, and the new Plague Knight, who spreads disease. The game will emphasize darkness and bring back fan-requested features like green gear sets.
Diablo V is set to release in spring 2029, following a shorter development period than previous Diablo games. Despite some criticism for Blizzard's premature announcement, the company is confident in the game's appeal and its potential to outshine previous entries.
