Blizzard Announces Diablo 5 for 2029, New StarCraft for 2030
Blizzard revealed Diablo 5 with a cinematic teaser and a 2029 release date, plus a new StarCraft game set for 2030. Diablo 4 seasons will continue.
Blizzard has announced Diablo 5, revealing a cinematic teaser and a 2029 release date. The company also unveiled a first trailer for a new StarCraft game, which is set to arrive in 2030.
Game director Brent Gibson said Blizzard will keep releasing new seasons for Diablo 4 as long as players continue to support it, even after Diablo 5 launches. That commitment suggests the current game will not be abandoned when its successor arrives.
Diablo 4 originally came out in 2023, roughly 11 years after its predecessor. The long gap between main entries is not unusual for the series, and Blizzard has a history of supporting older Diablo titles: both Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 still receive new seasons.
The twin announcements give Blizzard a packed release pipeline for the next several years, with Diablo 5 targeting 2029 and the new StarCraft game following in 2030. Polygon reported on the reveals.
