Blizzard is bringing the Warlock class to three Diablo games

Last week, dataminers discovered new strings of code pointing towards the impending announcement of a brand-new class for the Diablo franchise – Warlocks. Last night during the Diablo spotlight showcase, Blizzard confirmed exactly that, but Warlocks are coming to more than just Diablo 4. 

Blizzard is bringing its new Warlock class to a trio of Diablo titles, including Diablo 2: Resurrected, Diablo Immortal and of course, Diablo 4 as well. Fans can already get their hands on the Warlock in Diablo 2: Resurrected via the new Reign of the Warlock DLC. Diablo Immortal and Diablo 4 players will have to wait a little longer though.

The Warlock class will be the second new class added to Diablo 4 as part of the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion, which releases in April. The Warlock is positioned as the counterpart to the Paladin, trading in Holy magic for demonic powers.

The Spotlight showcase also revealed a number of new upcoming changes for Diablo 4, including a fishing mechanic, a skill-tree overhaul, a new endgame activity called ‘War Plans', a new Echoing Hatred event, item crafting via the Horadric Cube, the addition of loot filters and more.

KitGuru Says: I really enjoyed playing the Paladin when it dropped into Diablo 4 in December. I am equally looking forward to the addition of the Warlock. I may need to jump back into Diablo 2 to get the preview.
