Diablo IV’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, arrived a year and change after the game launched. That won’t be the case for its next big content drop, however. Franchise boss Rod Ferguson revealed at DICE Summit 2025 in Las Vegas this week that Diablo IV’s second expansion will be arriving sometime in 2026.

Diablo 4's plan for annual expansions seems to have gone mildly awry, as franchise general manager Rod Fergusson said during a DICE panel today that the game's second expansion won't be out until sometime in 2026.

If you were hoping for a new Diablo 4 expansion in 2025, you're unfortunately going to be waiting just a bit longer. According to Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson, we won't see the next major Diablo 4 expansion until 2026.
