What is Diablo 5?

Diablo V is the fifth mainline entry in the action-RPG series. Blizzard revealed it at the BlizzCon 2026 opening with a teaser trailer, three playable classes and the story premise. The studio describes it as the start of the next era for the franchise and plans to share regular development updates from 2027 until launch.

The premise

The heroes of the past have failed. Sanctuary has fallen and Diablo has won. As the Heir to Westmarch, you flee through a devastated world that the Lord of Terror actively reshapes — terrain, points of interest, monsters and rewards can change when you return. Story & Setting →

Classes revealed

Three classes are confirmed: the Demon Hunter (dual crossbows, ranged), the Monk (martial arts melee with divine powers) — both returning from Diablo III — and the Plague Knight, a brand-new class built around disease and pestilence. Further classes will be revealed in later updates. Classes →

Confirmed gameplay systems

Blizzard confirmed four systems at the reveal: a world that Diablo reshapes, a caravan of merchants and combat allies as your travelling base, the return of a grid inventory with item sets tied to equipment, and a crafting system inspired by Diablo II with runes and runewords. Items are meant to stay memorable after hundreds of hours.

  • A world Diablo reshapes: Terrain, locations, monsters and rewards change as Diablo remakes Sanctuary around you.
  • Your caravan: Recruit merchants and combat allies and build a travelling base through the ruined lands.
  • Grid inventory returns: Larger items take more space. Item sets are tied to equipment again.
  • Runes & Runewords: A crafting system inspired by Diablo II, with runes and runewords at its core.
