Diablo 4's Second Expansion Isn't Coming Until 2026
Diablo 4's second expansion won't be released until 2026, Blizzard has confirmed. This comes directly from Diablo franchise general manager Rod Fergusson, who revealed the news at a DICE panel discussing building Diablo 4 as a live-service game.
Posted by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier on Bluesky, not much more information was shared, like a potential launch window in 2026. However, Blizzard had previously confirmed that Diablo 4 would be getting annual expansions, but it seems that will not be the case in 2025. Fergusson said in 2023 after the launch of Diablo 4 that two expansions were already in the works for Diablo 4.
When the second expansion launches, Diablo 4 will be the first Diablo game to receive more than one expansion. Diablo 3 had a major expansion with Reaper of Souls and a smaller DLC adding the Necromancer class. It is possible that Blizzard keeps the annual releases plan intact by releasing a smaller DLC in 2025, like a new class without a new region. For now, it looks like Diablo 4 fans will have a longer wait than expected for the next major expansion, with only seasonal updates expected in 2025.
