Blizzard Entertainment confirmed Diablo V is in development with a spring 2029 release, announced at BlizzCon 2026 on Sept 13, surprising many gamers. The sequel follows Diablo IV's 2023 launch. Set about a century after Diablo IV, the game depicts Sanctuary as "annihilated," with Diablo victorious and no safe zones. Blizzard will continue Diablo IV via seasons but plans no further expansions, focusing instead on the new title. Fans expressed shock over the short four-year gap, contrasting with 11-12 year waits between prior installments. BlizzCon also featured announcements for Overwatch, Hearthstone, and World of Warcraft, plus performances by Yoasobi and Le Sserafim.
