Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Expansion Launches Today

The world of Sanctuary grows again as Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred officially launches today, April 28, 2026.

This second major expansion invites players to journey into the mysterious Skovos Isles.

Building on the narrative established in the 2024 Vessel of Hatred expansion, this update centers on the ongoing threat of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred.

A major highlight is the introduction of two new character classes: the demon-summoning Warlock and the return of the holy Paladin.

Beyond new content, the update includes the return of the iconic Horadric Cube for gear crafting and a revamped endgame.

Even for those not purchasing the expansion, Patch 3.0 offers significant gameplay and itemization improvements for every player.

By adding two distinct classes and expanding the map, Blizzard is setting a new standard for post-launch support, ensuring that the battle against evil remains as intense as ever.
