Diablo V Set for 2029, StarCraft Returns in 2030
Xbox's BlizzCon recap also confirms Diablo IV's next season for September 15 and an Amazon class in 2027.
Blizzard has set two long-range dates for its biggest series: Diablo V is planned for spring 2029, while StarCraft will return in 2030 as an original open-world shooter.
Diablo V begins after Sanctuary has fallen and Diablo has won, according to the announcement on Xbox Wire. The recap does not name platforms, prices, or a more specific release date for either project, so there is still plenty of calendar left to fill.
Players looking for something sooner have Diablo IV: Season of Hell's Legacy on September 15. The season brings back the Prime Evils, Deckard Cain, Nightmare Rifts, anniversary rewards, and gear from across the series. Diablo IV's Amazon class is also due in the first half of 2027.
The StarCraft announcement offers only its 2030 window and the open-world shooter description for now. For a series returning in a new genre, that small detail is doing most of the talking.
