After years of speculation and debate, Nintendo finally gave us a look at Switch 2 on January 16. As we all already know, thanks to leaks, the Switch 2 is packed with a bigger screen, revamped Joy-Con controllers, and various other features.
However, just because Nintendo Switch 2 is finally confirmed, that doesn’t mean the rumor mill has come to an end. Brand-new leaks suggest thatDiablo 4could be making its way to the console, which could prove to be an absolute horror show forPath of Exile 2.
Diablo 4might be getting a Nintendo Switch 2 port
While we’re all busy enjoyingDiablo 4‘s latest season and the brand-new additions, Blizzard is planning to take on the fight againstPath of Exile 2by making a full-fledged port for its game for Nintendo’s next-generation handheld.
The rumor, courtesy of YouTubereXTas1s, suggests that Blizzard is working on portingDiablo 4to Switch 2. That’s not all, though; Microsoft is also planning to portHalo: The Master Chief CollectionandMicrosoft Flight Simulatoralongside other games in its catalog.

It won’t be the first time we’ll see theDiabloseries on the Nintendo Switch platform, as bothDiablo 3andDiablo 2proved to be massive successes, pulling in thousands of handheld gamers.Considering the fact that Switch 2 packs quite a punchin terms of hardware, porting the latestDiablo 4game makes sense.
If Blizzard’s latest RPG ends up making it on Switch 2, it’s going to be a massive problem forPath of Exile 2. It’s been a month since the release ofPath of Exile 2, and it’s being projected as aDiablokiller. However, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an absolute nightmare to get into as a beginner.
On the other hand,Diablo 4is a much simpler game for a casual player to get into.Considering the success of the original Switch, the next handheld will have millions of buyers, andDiablo 4‘s accessibility will lure a great portion of them.
Will we finally see an offline mode inDiablo 4?
It’s great to see that one of the best RPGs in recent years will be available to play on what could be a generational-hit handheld. However, will Blizzard finally add an offline mode forDiablo 4to support Switch 2?
It’s been two years since the release ofDiablo 4, and Blizzard’s decision to push it out as a live-service game has been bashed constantly. Sure, the model does allow Blizzard to send out rapid updates for balance changes and updates, but the base game is packed with tons of content that could be enjoyed solo.

That’s not the only thing; we’ve seen developers shutting down servers for their old live-service games once they move on to future projects. What’s going to happen when Blizzard finally decides to developDiablo 5?
For the sake of game preservation and solo experience, it’s high time that Blizzard gave us a full-fledged offline mode alongside the Switch 2 port. There’s no reason to constantly deny a fan-favorite requestthat doesn’t break the game in any way.
With that said, would you like to see any other Blizzard game on Switch 2? Let us know in the comments below.
