Diablo V

Diablo V is the next main entry in Blizzard’s action RPG series. This time the story does not begin shortly before the catastrophe but after it: Diablo has conquered Sanctuario, the great heroes of the past have vanished, and the Lord of Terror is using the people and souls of the world for the Eternal Conflict.

Players take on the role of the heir of Westmark and travel through the charred remains of a realm that has become an outpost of Hell. A growing caravan of survivors accompanies the journey and replaces the safe towns of earlier series entries.

Blizzard plans Diablo V for Spring 2029. The game was announced during the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2026. From 2027, the development team intends to regularly publish new insights into development, systems and content.

For Diablo V, Blizzard has not yet named any target platforms. The only thing confirmed so far is the release window of Spring 2029. Specific versions for PC or consoles have not been announced yet.

Diablo V remains an action RPG, but it relies much more heavily on a changing world. Diablo actively reshapes Sanctuario. Terrain, locations, monsters and rewards can change when players return to an area. Instead of a fixed safe hub, a caravan of traders and companions grows along the way, each with its own stories.

Blizzard has revealed the first three classes: Demon Hunter, Monk and the new Plague Knight. The Plague Knight spreads diseases and plagues and can then turn them into their own strength. For items, the team is again drawing more on Diablo II: stat requirements, inventory items of different sizes, sets, runes and runewords are meant to return. Crafting is also meant to build on the approaches of Lord of Hatred.

Official PC system requirements for Diablo V do not exist yet. Until the planned release in Spring 2029, the technical specifications therefore remain open.
