Blizzard officially unveiled Diablo 5 during BlizzCon 2026's opening ceremony, revealing it will be set roughly 100 years after the events of Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred in a world where the Lord of Terror has already won. The game will release in Spring 2029, and Blizzard has already begun promoting the title alongside its other franchise announcements. Following the reveal, Diablo 5 director Joe Shely confirmed the game is already in full production, stating it will feature more classes and procedurally generated worlds in addition to the previously announced 100-year time jump. Shely's comments provide further detail on the scope and development status of the sequel ahead of its 2029 launch.
