Diablo 4 reportedly coming to Switch 2 September

IGN and VGC reported on August 5 that Diablo 4 is reportedly headed to Nintendo Switch 2 next month, citing a new leak from Dealabs writer billbil-kun. The reports said Blizzard’s action RPG is targeting a mid-September release, more than three years after its June 2023 debut on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. IGN said the leak also included pricing and packaging details for the Switch 2 version, while VGC said the game could be formally unveiled at Gamescom later this month. Blizzard had not publicly announced a Switch 2 version as of August 6. ### Which details in the leak are specific enough to matter? Dealabs writer billbil-kun, as relayed by IGN and VGC, said the Switch 2 version is due on either September 15 or September 18. VGC said billbil-kun could not yet confirm which of those two dates is correct, but reported the release would be on one of them. IGN said the reported price is $69.99 in the United States, £62.99 in Britain and €69.99 in Europe. (ign.com) The physical edition is also part of the leak. IGN said the boxed release would be a “code-in-a-box” version rather than a cartridge-based copy, meaning buyers would get a download code inside retail packaging. Other follow-up reports repeated that description and said there was still no confirmation on whether any expansion content would be included. (videogameschronicle.com) ### Why are people treating billbil-kun as credible? VGC described billbil-kun as having “an extremely lengthy and accurate record” on hardware and software leaks. IGN similarly referred to Dealabs’ billbil-kun as “ever-reliable” in its report on the rumored port. Those descriptions are why the report moved quickly across gaming outlets despite the absence of a formal Blizzard announcement. (ign.com) Polygon and other outlets also tied the new report to earlier signs that a Switch 2 version existed. Nintendo Life said ratings for Diablo 4 on Switch 2 had surfaced earlier this year in Indonesia and Taiwan, giving the latest leak a paper trail beyond a single post. ### What is still unconfirmed? Blizzard has not announced Diablo 4 for Nintendo Switch 2. (videogameschronicle.com) As of August 6, reports still described the release date, price, packaging and any bundled content as unconfirmed leak information rather than official product details. Expansion support is one open question. Several reports said it remains unclear whether the Switch 2 version would include Diablo 4’s additional content, including the more recent Lord of Hatred expansion. (polygon.com) ### Why is Gamescom part of this story? Gamescom 2026 runs from August 26 to August 30 in Cologne, Germany, and Nintendo has already confirmed it will attend with a Switch 2 lineup on the show floor. (godisageek.com) VGC and Polygon said billbil-kun’s report pointed to a possible Gamescom reveal before the rumored September launch. Nintendo’s published Gamescom lineup does not currently list Diablo 4, based on reports summarizing the company’s announced booth slate. That leaves open the possibility of a later addition, a partner announcement around the event, or no reveal there at all. Those scenarios remain speculative until Blizzard, Nintendo or Microsoft says otherwise. (nintendoeverything.com) ### What should readers watch next? August 26 is the next concrete date tied to this rumor cycle because Gamescom opens that day in Cologne. If the leak is accurate, an official announcement would likely need to arrive before the reported September 15 or September 18 launch window cited by VGC and IGN. (nintendoeverything.com)
