A little disappointing, given how successful Diablo 3 <em>and<\/em> Diablo II have proven on Switch 1, but we&#8217;d be surprised if <em>nothing<\/em> is happening.<\/p>\n<p>Especially as Robert <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/why-hearthstone-isnt-on-console-switch-or-steam-deck-but-increasingly-likely-to-happen\">spoke to Hearthstone&#8217;s executive producer Nathan Lyons-Smith<\/a> who, when talking about a possible Switch 2 port of the card game, told a room of journalists &#8220;In the future as we explore console and handheld, we&#8217;d probably go as wide as we could&#8221;. So a wider console base <em>is<\/em> at least being thought about.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there have been rumours about Diablo 4 coming to Switch 2 as far back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/01\/rumour-diablo-4-is-claimed-to-be-in-development-for-switch-2\">as April 2025<\/a>, with even series manager Rod Fergusson stating that it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/04\/diablo-4-on-switch-2-its-something-to-look-at-says-series-manager\">&#8220;something to look at&#8221;<\/a>, though it&#8217;s not guaranteed due to potential live service issues.<\/p>\n<p>Blizzard are, of course, working on getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch-2\/overwatch\">Overwatch<\/a> (that&#8217;s the game <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2026\/02\/overwatch-2-ditches-the-number-in-huge-overhaul-switch-2-version-announced\">formerly known as Overwatch 2<\/a>) on Switch 2, and that&#8217;s due later in the year. But with Diablo II already on the older console, we should at least expect that one, right?<\/p>\n<p>Nothing is guaranteed of course, and Diablo&#8217;s 30th anniversary isn&#8217;t actually until 2027, so don&#8217;t be surprised if we hear something about this much later in the year.
