Diablo 4 could come to Switch 2 if the console makes managing live service games easier than the current Switch.
Diablo 4 Could Join Nintendo Switch 2’s Game Lineup
Blizzard is no stranger to Nintendo consoles. Games like Overwatch and Diablo 3 were already available on the Nintendo Switch, so it’s only natural that many are wondering whether Diablo 4 will make its way to its successor, the Nintendo Switch 2—a question that Rod Fergussonthe head of the Diablo franchise, has now addressed.
“I think there’s a possibility, of course,” Fergusson commented. “I mean, we have Diablo III and Diablo II: Resurrected on Switch, and with backward compatibility, those will be playable on Switch 2. Also, the Switch 2 has the power to run a game like Devil IVso yes, it’s definitely something worth exploring.”
Live Service Compatibility Is the Main Challenge
“However, I think the challenge with this version is less about hardware and more about how the system will handle live service gameswhich have been somewhat challenging on the current Switch.”
“That’s why I hope that when they launch the console in June, they make this aspect much easier—so that it makes more sense to release a live service game on that platform.”
For now, that’s all that has been officially said on the matter. There’s no confirmation that this version is actually in development, but Fergusson’s words do offer some hope, making it clear that the console’s technical limitations won’t be a barrier—should they decide to move forward with a port of Diablo 4
