BlizzCon 2026 reveals Diablo 5 classes, dungeons, and loot systems

Blizzard revealed at BlizzCon 2026 that Diablo 5, launching in spring 2029, will feature more classes than any previous Diablo game, procedurally-generated dungeons, and Diablo 2-style loot systems. Set 100 years after Diablo 4, the sequel follows Diablo's apocalyptic destruction of Sanctuary, with the demon as a full character. Returning classes include demon hunter and monk, plus new ones like the plague knight. Towns are replaced by a caravan of NPCs, and items will have tiers, belts, set items, and stat requirements. The game's changes respond to player feedback on Diablo 4 and competitors like Path of Exile. Blizzard emphasized that all details are work-in-progress, with regular development updates starting next year.
