Blizzard opens an official Diablo V site

Three sentences and a sign-up form.

Alongside the reveal, Blizzard opened a page for the game itself. It states that Diablo V is in development, that it is coming in spring 2029, and that Sanctuary has fallen - and it invites readers to sign up for future updates.

That is the entire content. No classes, no systems, no platforms, no timeline relative to Diablo IV. We are recording it anyway, for two reasons.

Why a near-empty page matters

It is the channel. Blizzard has said it intends to publish regular development updates from 2027, and this is where the announcement of those updates will land first. For a site that tracks what is said and when, knowing where it will be said is worth a line.

And it is a primary source that will keep being edited. A marketing page is one of the few official texts that changes quietly, without a news post to mark it. When a platform list or a date appears there, it will appear there first.

Everything the page currently asserts is already in Everything we know, and the things it still does not answer are on rumors and open questions.
