Overview
- Blizzard revealed Diablo V at BlizzCon 2026 and confirmed a Spring 2029 release window, saying the project is now in full production.
- The game is set about a century after Diablo IV in a ruined Sanctuary where Diablo has already won and the player travels in a growing caravan.
- Companions will expand the caravan and act as vendors and quest-givers, including a treasure goblin, and the overworld and dungeons will be reshaped procedurally between visits.
- Blizzard plans to revive deep item systems from Diablo II such as runes and runewords, bring back gear sets and inventory management, and launch with more classes including a new Plague Knight.
- The studio has not clarified whether Diablo V will use Diablo IV’s shared-world online model and development faces external risks from Activision Blizzard/Xbox staffing moves that could affect resources.
