Diablo 5 isn’t coming until Spring 2029, but Blizzard has already revealed three of the game’s playable classes.
Two of them will be familiar to Diablo 3 fans: the Monk and Demon Hunter. The third will be an all-new class, the Plague Knight. The Plague Knight sounds similar to Death Knights from Blizzard’s other fantasy franchise and are described as “walking death” that spread disease and pestilence wherever they go, then consume it to increase their power.
Blizzard revealed plenty of new details about Diablo 5 during a panel and subsequent blog post following the game’s cinematic reveal as part of the BlizzCon 2026 opening ceremony. In addition to the three classes, Blizzard outlined the state of Sanctuary in Diablo 5 and how players will navigate it. Rather than journeying to towns, players will instead build a wandering caravan of survivors in a world that’s been destroyed, and currently ruled, by Diablo himself. According to a developer blog post, Diablo 5’s world will be “procedural,” where terrain, monsters, and points of interest will change in the wake of the Lord of Terror’s influence.
As for the survivors that players will call allies, Blizzard said they will serve roles as vendors
