As part of the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight, Blizzard shared big announcements today for Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo Immortal, and Diablo 4. The most surprising reveal came with Reign of the Warlock, a major new content release for Diablo 2: Resurrected. The Warlock is the first new playable class added to Diablo 2 in over 25 years.
Of course, the Warlock class was also announced today for Diablo Immortal, with the class also coming to Diablo 4. The Warlock, regardless of the game, is presented as "a dark caster who harnesses the power of Hell to turn its forces against themselves." Each game represents a different "stage" of the Warlock throughout the franchise, despite all coming out at around the same time. The Diablo 4 version is presented as a "more dangerous and twisted" Warlock than the one found in Diablo 2.
The Warlock was added to Diablo 2 today as part of the Reign of the Warlock release. Diablo 2 also received new endgame content as well as some often requested quality-of-life improvements such as advanced stash tabs.
The Warlock class will be added to Diablo Immortal this summer.
Diablo 4 will see the introduction of the Warlock when the new expansion, Lord of Hatred, arrives on April 28. Diablo 4 will also get new and improved endgame systems, an entirely new region to explore, and loot filters.
The 30th anniversary stream was full of new announcements beyond the Warlock reveals. Highlights from the live broadcast can be found below. Also below is the Diablo Warlock class cinematic that shares a look at the new class across all three titles.
