Anticipating Diablo 4’s Next Chapter
Speculation was further fueled when Jez Corden from Windows Central suggested this tease is linked to an expansion for Blizzard’s Diablo 4. With Blizzard previously announcing a 2026 expansion alongside a new ranking system, it aligns perfectly with the upcoming Game Awards.
Though details remain scarce, fans are hopeful for the addition of the Paladin class, a fan-favorite from Diablo 2, which many believe could soon join the game roster. The first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, introduced the Spiritborn class, setting a high bar for future content.
Rumors also swirl about a possible Nintendo Switch 2 version of Diablo 4, perhaps revealed as a surprise release or potentially involving an entirely different announcement.
What’s Coming at The Game Awards?
As the December 11, 2025, date for The Game Awards approaches, the gaming community eagerly anticipates a slew of revelations. While CD Projekt has confirmed that The Witcher 4 will not feature, a new trailer for Exodus, the anticipated sci-fi RPG from Archetype Entertainment, is set to debut. This project involves prominent former BioWare developers and has been generating significant buzz.
The full list of nominations for this year’s Game Awards is already available, setting the stage for a memorable event.
