Don't call the new Diablo board game a dungeon crawler, it's a "dungeon battler" with fighting and loot all the way down

A Diablo board game is on the way, but don't assume it'll be a classic dungeon crawler; the developers are calling it a "dungeon battler" where you'll fight to the bitter depths for glory and loot against unrelenting foes.

So far, it sounds grim enough to gel with Diablo's gritty atmosphere. After selecting a dungeon in the darkest corner of Sanctuary, you'll fill it with a horde of monsters and bosses represented by gnarly miniatures before grinding your way through them using one of four iconic classes (the Barbarian, Paladin, Sorceress, or Rogue). These all feature distinct playstyles, extensive customization, and unique skill-trees, so when combined with what Glass Cannon Unplugged describes as a "highly modular structure," the Diablo board game – officially titled 'Diablo: Unbound' – should be pretty replayable.

Although its crowdfunding campaign isn't due to go live on Gamefound until early 2027, the Diablo board game will be playable much earlier than that. To be precise, you can go hands-on with Diablo: Unbound at this year's SPIEL Essen (one of the world's biggest shows for the best board games) between October 22-25.

If the name Glass Cannon Unplugged sounds familiar, it's because the team is no stranger to video game adaptations; they were the ones behind the Apex Legends board game which is currently available at Amazon . I came away very impressed with that one (it's like playing 4D chess ), so I'm optimistic about Diablo. Glass Cannon have also made a Diablo tabletop RPG , so they're very familiar with the world.
