Diablo 4 Celebrates 30 Years With Prime Evils, Deckard Cain, and a Switch 2 Release
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Diablo 4's upcoming anniversary season brings back Deckard Cain and the Prime Evils alongside a major Nintendo Switch 2 launch and the future return of the Amazon class.
Blizzard is pulling out all the stops for the franchise's thirtieth anniversary, using the upcoming Season of Hell's Legacy to bring back iconic figures like Deckard Cain and all three original Prime Evils. Reporting from Eurogamer highlights how players will hunt down echoes of Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto in nostalgic locations like Tristram Cathedral. Defeating them grants powerful Soul Splinter buffs, though balancing that power introduces risky new vulnerabilities to keep endgame grinding engaging.
Alongside the seasonal update, Diablo 4 is officially making the jump to Nintendo's next-generation hardware. Dropping on September 15, the Age of Hatred Collection brings the base game and major expansions to the Switch 2 with full cross-play and cross-progression support. Blizzard also confirmed that the classic Amazon class will return in early 2027, bringing her signature bow and javelin playstyles back to the modern ARPG ecosystem.
These drops formed part of a massive BlizzCon opening showcase that also teased long-term franchise futures with early looks at Diablo 5, World of Warcraft: Forever, and a brand new open-world StarCraft shooter. For veteran players and portable cross-platform grinders alike, the Sanctuary universe is entering a very busy era.
