prompter: When is Diablo IV coming out?

assistant: As of 2/4/2023 the release date for Diablo 4 is June 6, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

While Diablo 4 is set to release on June 6, 2023, please note that video game release dates are commonly delayed as developers aim to create the best possible product for their players.

prompter: Thank you for the information provided.

prompter: Will Diablo IV be coming to the Nintendo Switch? If no, has the developer cited any reasons why?

assistant: As of 2/4/2023 there has been no release announcement for Nintendo Switch. The developers have not yet said why this is the case.

assistant: As of my training data, Diablo IV has not been officially announced for the Nintendo Switch, and the developer has not cited any reasons for this.

assistant: Diablo IV has not been announced for the Nintendo Switch. The developer, Blizzard Entertainment, did not provide any reasons for this decision in their latest press release on the topic. The Switch is only mentioned in passing in a general section regarding the company.

assistant: No, the list I mentioned (PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC) is exhaustive, as far as what has been announced so far goes. The developer has not communicated their reasons for this choice publicly.

assistant: Diablo 4 was shown off to a surprising extent at Blizzcon, with three classes confirmed (Druid, Barbarian, and Sorceress) and confirmation that the game will return to Diablo 2’s much darker tone - but we don’t have a release date as yet, but the Switch was notably absent from the confirmed platforms.

That’s not to say it won’t eventually make it’s way there though - Diablo 3 launched in 2012, and the Switch in early 2017, but it wasn’t until late that year that we jumped into hell on a handheld.

Despite Blizzard being best known for their PC titles, the famous developers have now released two games on the Switch - with Overwatch’s Legendary Edition joining Diablo 3 last year.

Both titles were already readily available elsewhere, but the fact they arrived eventually suggests that the chance for Diablo 4 to come to Switch isn’t as slim as you might think - especially with Overwatch 2 coming to the console.
Looking outside of Blizzard, the Switch is capable of handling some impressive titles. Doom (2016) and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus have both proven the diminutive console can handle plenty of action, and Doom Eternal is still due to launch on the Switch at an unspecified date.

That suggests that despite Diablo 4 being built for PC, current and (presumably) next-gen consoles, Nintendo’s console should have the guts to power its isometric antics.

Whatever happens, let’s hope it ends up being received a little better than the unveiling of Diablo: Immortal.

Blizzcon 2018’s wet blanket, the mobile-only dungeon-crawler was announced to close out the company’s annual celebration - and fans were not happy.

Many couldn’t believe it, with one fan even taking to the mic during a Q&A session to ask if the game was a mistimed April Fool’s joke, while others couldn’t believe that there was no PC version.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the game still has no release date - but a Blizzard post on November 1, 2019, reassured fans that the game is still coming.

assistant: The planned release date is the 6th of june 2023.

prompter: Thanks

prompter: What platforms is it releasing on? Can you provide me with links to these storefronts?

assistant: Blizzard has a proposed release date of 2 June 2023.

prompter: What about Starfield for PC?
