Diablo 5 was the big news coming out of BlizzCon 2026, and developer/publisher Blizzard Entertainment is continuing to release more about the game. That's definitely surprising, given that Blizzard revealed that Diablo 5 isn't releasing until 2029, but it seems the company doesn't intend to be completely radio silent about what's next for Sanctuary.

Already, for example, Blizzard has revealed three of the classes in Diablo 5: the Monk, the Demon Hunter, and the Plague Knight. Developers have detailed key elements of the story (a survival focus, Diablo's victory over Sanctuary) and revealed how players are on the run with a caravan of other survivors. Everything revealed so far doesn't mean Blizzard is dedicated to complete transparency in communication between now and 2029, but at least around major events, it seems developers are encouraged to share small details about Diablo 5's development.

Blizzard officially announced Diablo 5 at BlizzCon, and these are the exciting features already confirmed for the next chapter.

Neil David Carter, the cinematic director on Diablo 5, recently made a social media post about the "first shoot" on the game. It's not much, simply showing a mocap studio, but such a post is pretty unusual for any game's development. As many gamers know, development is often secretive for a variety of reasons (which makes Diablo 5's early announcement surprising to begin with), so to see something like a "first shoot" confirmed on social media is refreshing, if brisk.
