Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight News (as of February 6, 2026)
The Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight is set for February 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM PST (5:00 PM EST / 11:00 PM CET / February 12 at 9:00 AM AEDT).
This major livestream celebrates 30 years of Diablo and delivers fresh reveals across Diablo Immortal, Diablo IV, and Diablo II: Resurrected.
Blizzard is teasing transformative updates, new content, and a unified look at Sanctuary's evolving future.
The event streams live on Twitch and YouTube, with a post-show developer Q&A ("Sanctuary Sitdown") in the Diablo Discord the following day.
Community hype is strong—official teasers from @Diablo and @DiabloImmortal have racked up hundreds of thousands of views, with fans speculating on class identities, lore connections (especially around corruption and Prime Evils), and whether these updates will address long-standing feedback like endgame variety and monetization balance.
Diablo Immortal Highlights
Blizzard is positioning Immortal as a key focus with substantial 2026 content:
- New Class: A "shunned and dangerous warrior" emerging from the shadows—long whispered about in lore.
Community speculation leans toward a stealthy, occult-themed class (e.g., shadow assassin, blood knight variant, or Warlock-inspired), potentially introducing new mechanics like summons or debuffs to diversify the meta.
- New Region: A harsh frontier awakening with "ancient horrors," "festering corruption," and forgotten threats. This could bring dynamic world events, new biomes, and story ties to broader Diablo lore.
- Returning Villain: An infamous force (likely a Prime Evil like Mephisto or Baal) spreading corruption anew—potentially unifying timelines across games.
- Full 2026 Roadmap: Live reveal of "rising threats, expanding lore, and new frontiers" throughout the year, including quarterly updates, story chapters, and systems improvements.
- Exclusive Promo Code: Redeem during the broadcast for limited-time rewards: Legendary Crests, gear, 50,000+ Gold, and more as a "tribute to the faithful."
These announcements build on recent patches (e.g., "Sing the Ballad of the Moon") and aim to reinvigorate mobile play with deeper endgame and narrative depth.
Diablo IV Highlights
- Next Class Reveal: The second class for the Lord of Hatred expansion (following Spiritborn/Paladin teases).
Described as a "new force" that reshapes combat, survival, and mastery—speculation points to a dark magic user (e.g., Warlock) with curses, demons, and AoE focus.
- Skill Tree & Endgame Overhauls: Deeper looks at revamped trees for hybrid builds, plus new systems to combat repetition (e.g., Horadric Cube updates, procedural elements).
- Other Teases: Broader Sanctuary changes and a "new force" influencing the world.
Diablo II: Resurrected Highlights
- New Content & Updates: Confirmed major additions (details in the spotlight), alongside Ladder Season 13 prep.
Could include QoL features, balance tweaks, new runewords, or modern conveniences while respecting the classic experience.
The event ties into Blizzard's strategy to cross-promote titles and boost engagement ahead of bigger 2026 plans.
No major leaks have surfaced beyond teasers, so expect surprises.
