Diablo 4 Switch 2 Leak Claims €69.99 Price and Mid-September 2026 Launch
A new leak has reignited expectations for Diablo 4 on Nintendo’s next console: the Switch 2 version is reportedly headed to Europe with a €69.99 price tag and a mid-September 2026 launch window. The latest details also point to bundled expansions and a physical release, with an official reveal still expected later at Gamescom.
Announcement: leak claims Switch 2 release with price, date, and bundle
After an earlier leak from the start of August that reportedly outlined the Switch 2 release timing and pricing for Diablo 4, the same tipster is now pushing “exclusive” information. The updated claim places the game’s Switch 2 price in Europe at €69.99 and sets the release for 15 September 2026. Blizzard has not made an official statement on any of these points.
The leak further says the Switch 2 edition includes the base game plus two expansions: Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred. It also claims there will be a physical version.
What changed
- Updated rumor now states the Switch 2 price in Europe will be €69.99.
- Release date is specified as 15 September 2026 (previously only a third week of September was suggested).
- Switch 2 edition is claimed to include both expansions: Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred.
- Physical packaging is said to exist but to include only a download code.
- Pre-orders are claimed to begin on 12 September 2026, overlapping with BlizzCon 2026.
Practical impact: editions, pre-orders, and physical format
If the leak holds up, players considering the Switch 2 version would be looking at a single purchase that bundles the base game and both cited expansions. The physical edition is also described as limited to the standard box containing a game download code, rather than a traditional cartridge-style content layout.
Pre-orders would reportedly start on 12 September 2026. The same period would also coincide with BlizzCon 2026, potentially setting up a busy launch-month window for Diablo 4 owners and new Switch 2 players.
Platform scope and reveal timing: Gamescom expectations
The leak claims the Diablo 4 Switch 2 announcement would be made around Gamescom. Blizzard, however, is said to not be present at Gamescom this year, while Xbox (Microsoft) is. The expectation in the community is that a Switch 2-focused announcement could still happen via a video message, trailer, or other format during the event.
The rumored Switch 2 release would mark the first time Diablo 4 lands on a Nintendo handheld platform well over three years after the game originally launched.
What comes next
With Blizzard yet to confirm anything, the next real checkpoint is the lead-up to Gamescom and whatever official information is released there. After that, players will have to watch for confirmation of the €69.99 pricing, the 15 September 2026 launch date, and whether the Switch 2 edition truly includes Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred as claimed.
