The bundle brings a live-service Diablo IV, with both expansions and cross-progression, to Nintendo's portable hardware, a pairing the series has already tested on earlier Nintendo ports.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
Blizzard Entertainment announced at BlizzCon 2026 in Anaheim that Diablo IV: Age of Hatred Collection will release on September 15, 2026, with a Japanese release on September 16. The package includes the base game, the Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred expansions, and supports Japanese. The Switch 2 version supports crossplay and cross-progression, requires an internet connection and a Battle.net account, and ships in code-in-box format.
The release is a code-in-box product, so buyers get a download code rather than a cartridge, and play requires an internet connection plus a Battle.net account. Crossplay and cross-progression carry save data over from PC and other platforms, which matters for a live-service game that has been updated continuously since 2023.
The package collects the base game and the two expansions released so far, Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred, along with added classes like the Spiritborn and new regions. A demo at the BlizzCon venue ran on Switch 2 hardware in handheld mode.
