  "account": "A recent leak has disclosed the release date, price, and physical release format for Diablo 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2. According to Dealabs' reliable source, billbil-kun, the game will be available on the Switch 2 in mid-September for $69.99 / £62.99 / €69.99. This is more than three years after the game's initial PC, PlayStation, and Xbox debut in June 2023. The Switch 2 version will also include a physical edition, but this will only contain a digital download code in an otherwise empty box, without a Game-Key Card.\n\nThe exact release date is yet to be announced, but it is reported that the game will launch during the third week of September, either on a Tuesday, 15th, or a Friday, 18th. Whether the Lord of Hatred expansion will be included remains unclear. This leak comes after months of anticipation for a Switch 2 launch for the game, which has been spotted on a few ratings boards. The official announcement of the port is still pending, but with Gamescom approaching, the release is now just weeks away.\n\nDespite being several years old, Diablo 4 still has a dedicated playerbase and recently received its second major expansion in April. In May, players discovered the game's secret cow level, but some were left disappointed by the reveal. IGN's Diablo 4 review, scored a 9/10, praised the game's stunning sequel status and near perfect endgame and progression design.
