NerdLeaks has been following chatter around a Switch 2 port of Diablo 4, and fresh details have surfaced that, if true, would make the console version a very complete package out of the gate. Per Eurogamer, a Dealabs tipster claims the Switch 2 release will arrive as an all-in-one collection including both expansions.
What Was Reported
According to Eurogamer, Dealabs' leaker billbil-kun (via ResetEra) allegedly posted a listing or leak indicating a Switch 2 edition of Diablo 4 will be released as the Age of Hatred Collection. That collection is said to include both expansion packs: Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred.
Eurogamer also reports the release is reportedly scheduled for 15th September, which falls two days after Blizzard's annual BlizzCon event. The outlet notes it is not clear whether the Switch 2 edition will be revealed at BlizzCon or at Gamescom in Germany, with the possibility of either event remaining open.
The leak summary in Eurogamer further mentions a rumoured price associated with taking both expansions together as the Age of Hatred package — a claimed £63 has been referenced in the same context.

- That sits alongside an insider claim of an imminent Switch 2 arrival that suggested the port could be "very soon".
The Source & Credibility
Per Eurogamer, the originating claim comes from Dealabs' leaker billbil-kun via ResetEra. Take this with a pinch of salt: Dealabs and ResetEra posts have been useful in the past, but they are third-party sources and not official confirmations.
Eurogamer frames the information as a rumour and explicitly links the chain of reporting back to the leaker, rather than to an official statement from Blizzard. This matters because the claim embeds a specific release date and an all-in-one collection detail, both of which are easier to verify or disprove should official channels respond.
How Solid Is The Claim?
- The listing reportedly names a concrete collection — the Age of Hatred Collection — and specifies the inclusion of both named expansions, which gives the rumour internal consistency.
- However, the origin is a community leak; Eurogamer does not present an independent confirmation from developers or retailers in the piece. As such, this remains unverified until Blizzard or a retailer confirms it.
What It Could Mean
If the report is accurate, a Switch 2 launch that bundles both expansions would make the platform version a robust release day experience, giving Switch 2 owners immediate access to the full "Hatred" arc centred on Mephisto without waiting for staggered expansion drops.
Eurogamer suggests timing is notable: the claimed 15th September launch would come days after BlizzCon (12th-13th September), an event where more about the franchise's future is likely to be discussed. Whether the Switch 2 port would be announced at BlizzCon or at Gamescom remains unresolved per the report.
The piece also places the rumour in broader context: Diablo 4 originally launched in June 2023, and the Switch 2 hardware itself arrived in June last year. The report observes that finishing the Lord of Hatred expansion—released in April this year—may have occupied developer attention during that period.
Finally, the Eurogamer story points out that Blizzard adopted a roughly yearly expansion update cadence for Diablo 4, though there have been some slips. That pattern could explain why a Switch 2 bundle might wait until both expansions were complete.
Why This Matters
For fans and potential Switch 2 buyers, an all-in-one Age of Hatred Collection would be a compelling proposition. The idea of getting Diablo 4 with both Vessel of Hatred and Lord of Hatred bundled could sway purchase decisions — particularly given the rumoured £63 tag mentioned in the reporting.
There are also industry implications. The Eurogamer piece reminds readers the Xbox division that includes Blizzard has recently undergone wide-ranging restructuring: 1,600 people were reported to have lost their jobs immediately, and a further 1,600 roles were earmarked for termination between now and next summer. Yet Eurogamer also relays that Blizzard is apparently the "top performing" Xbox studio, largely thanks to Diablo 4, which could influence how the company prioritises ports and post-launch support.
All told, this is an intriguing rumour. According to Eurogamer, it comes from Dealabs' billbil-kun via ResetEra and should be treated as unconfirmed until Blizzard or a retailer makes an official announcement. We’ll be watching BlizzCon and Gamescom closely — and you should, too — because if this is real, Switch 2 players could be getting a lot more Diablo on day one than they expected.
