Our April IGN First “cover story” is underway with Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred! As we kick off our coverage today, get an exclusive first look at an in-game cutscene from Diablo 4’s upcoming second expansion. Watch it above.<\/p>\n
The cutscene, as described by Blizzard: “Walk the path of faith and fire as Queen Adreona stands beside Akarat, their alliance forged in defiance of encroaching darkness. But devotion is a fragile thing, and unseen forces twist the truth, lurking just beyond the light. Will you follow\u2026 or be led astray?”<\/p>\n
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred expansion arrives April 28, 2026, on Battle.net, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
