Blizzard Adds Warlock Class to Diablo II, IV
NEW WARLOCK CLASS
  • Key Takeaways:
  • Blizzard is bringing the Warlock class to Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Diablo II, and Diablo Immortal.
  • The Warlock is playable in Diablo II starting today via the Reign of the Warlock DLC.
  • The class will also appear in Diablo IV's Lord of Hatred expansion and in Diablo Immortal (release timing not specified).

What Blizzard announced

Blizzard confirmed that the Warlock — a new playable class — is being added across multiple Diablo games. The developer named Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, Diablo II, and Diablo Immortal as destinations for the class.

Diablo II: Reign of the Warlock DLC

According to the announcement, players can play as the Warlock in Diablo II starting today as part of the Reign of the Warlock DLC. That means Diablo II players have immediate access to the new class through the DLC release.

Warlock in Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal

Blizzard also said the Warlock will be included in Diablo IV's Lord of Hatred expansion and in Diablo Immortal. The available information confirms the cross-title rollout but does not specify exact release dates or further platform details for those versions.

Why this matters

Adding a single class across multiple Diablo titles signals Blizzard's intent to create shared character identity and momentum across the franchise. For players, it means the chance to experience the same class concept in different systems — from the classic Diablo II engine to the live-service Diablo Immortal and the modern Diablo IV expansion.

What we don’t know yet

The announcement establishes where the Warlock will appear but leaves several questions open. Blizzard has not published detailed abilities, balance information, release windows for Diablo IV or Diablo Immortal, or pricing and platform specifics for the new content beyond the Diablo II DLC availability.

Next steps for players

Diablo II players who want to try the Warlock should install the Reign of the Warlock DLC to access the class immediately. Players of Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal should watch Blizzard channels for further release details and patch notes as the studio updates those games.
