Diablo 4 Switch 2 Port: Taiwan and Indonesia Rating Listings Signal Imminent Lord of Hatred Release

The clearest signal yet that Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 has arrived, but it comes from an unlikely source: game rating boards. Two independent regulators in Taiwan and Indonesia have both classified the April 2026 expansion for Nintendo's new console, creating a paper trail that suggests a port is well into development. However, Blizzard Entertainment has not officially announced the port, and the company remains silent on the matter.

What the Taiwan rating board revealed

Taiwan's Digital Entertainment Software Rating Board (also called the Taiwan Entertainment Software Rating board) classified Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred specifically for Switch 2 . The listing was filed in April 2026 but was not widely noticed until June 2026, when users on forums like Nintendo Everything spotted it . The rating entry includes a release date of April 28, 2026 — the same date the expansion launched on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox . Reports describe it as an age-rating entry for the game on Nintendo's next system . Notably, after the listing was publicized, the rating board's website appears to have removed or scrubbed the relevant information, a pattern that typically signals a publisher asked for the leak to be taken down .

What the Indonesia listing showed

Two months earlier, in April 2026, the Indonesia Game Rating System (IGRS) had already listed the same expansion for a Nintendo platform . The Indonesian listing was ambiguous: it labeled the platform as "Nintendo Switch" rather than explicitly naming Switch 2. Reports note that IGRS often uses "Nintendo Switch" as a catch-all designation that covers both the original Switch and Switch 2, making it unclear at first which console was intended . The Indonesian leak occurred through a security vulnerability in the IGRS system that has previously exposed other unannounced projects, including plot details for IO Interactive's upcoming James Bond game .

Why two independent listings matter

Having two separate regulatory bodies in different countries both list the same expansion for Nintendo hardware within the same month is unusual unless a release is genuinely being prepared . The Taiwan listing removed the ambiguity left by Indonesia's generic "Nintendo Switch" label by specifically naming Switch 2 . Multiple outlets covering the story have framed this as the strongest sign yet that a Switch 2 port is on the way, while still noting the absence of official confirmation . The listings suggest the game has entered the compliance and certification stage, typically one of the final steps before a production release.

Blizzard's official position: No confirmation

As of the latest reports, Blizzard has not confirmed the Switch 2 port . Coverage describes the listings as evidence, signs, or rumors of a potential Switch 2 version rather than as an announcement from Blizzard or Nintendo . The regulatory listings are the strongest evidence to date, but they remain circumstantial .

Blizzard's official position has been consistent over the past year. In February 2026, Eurogamer's Robert Purchase attempted to get clarity on a Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 during a visit to Blizzard headquarters, but a PR representative intervened and stated the company had nothing to say on the matter . In April 2025, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson told Gamertag Radio that he sees "opportunity there for sure" to bring Diablo 4 to Switch 2, pointing to the fact that Diablo 3 and Diablo 2: Resurrected already run on Nintendo hardware . But Fergusson also emphasized that the team must address the complexities of running a live-service game on a portable console . "I think there's opportunity there for sure," Fergusson said. "The only component that needs to be figured out is live service on a handheld" .

What could be included in a Switch 2 version

The Taiwan rating covers the Lord of Hatred expansion specifically, which suggests the hypothetical Switch 2 release may include either the base game with the expansion bundled or the expansion as a standalone release for existing players . The Softonic report notes that the Taiwan entry points to the April 2026 expansion, not just the base game, which could mean Vessel of Hatred — released in October 2024 — is also packed in .

Bottom line

The dual rating-board listings — Indonesia in April 2026 and Taiwan in April 2026 (spotted publicly in June 2026) — are the clearest signal yet that a Switch 2 port may be in development . However, Blizzard has not officially confirmed anything in the cited reports, so the port remains unannounced despite mounting circumstantial evidence . The regulatory trail strongly suggests a port exists, but the final word belongs to Blizzard.
