A rating for the upcoming Diablo 4 expansion, Lord of Hatred, has appeared on Indonesia's rating board - and Nintendo Switch is listed right alongside Xbox, PlayStation, and PC in the platform section. The listing was spotted and reported by Nintendo Life, and it's a pretty significant data point for fans who've been waiting for Blizzard's action-RPG to make the jump to Nintendo hardware.
Rumours about Diablo 4 coming to Switch 2 have been floating around since last year, and this rating board entry adds some real weight to that speculation. Rating board listings have historically been reliable early indicators of platform announcements, even when they appear ahead of any official word from the publisher.
The timing here is notable. The rating surfaced on the same day Overwatch - previously known as Overwatch 2 - launched on Switch 2, suggesting Blizzard is actively expanding its Nintendo footprint. Bringing one of its biggest live-service titles to the platform at launch while quietly getting a ratings certificate for its flagship ARPG paints a pretty clear picture of the company's strategy.
What this means for Switch 2 players
If the port is real, Switch 2 players would be jumping into Diablo 4 alongside the Lord of Hatred expansion rather than starting from scratch with the base game. That's a solid entry point - Lord of Hatred introduces a new act, new bosses, and presumably a fresh wave of seasonal content. Not a bad package for players who missed the game on other platforms.
The Switch 2's hardware bump over its predecessor makes a Diablo 4 port far more plausible than it would have been on original Switch hardware. The game is demanding by ARPG standards, but Blizzard has shown it can optimise aggressively when motivated - the mobile version of Diablo Immortal demonstrated the studio's willingness to push the IP across platforms.
Blizzard and Nintendo haven't made any official announcement yet, so treat this as a strong rumour rather than confirmed news. But between the rating board listing and the Overwatch launch on Switch 2, the signs are pointing in one direction. An official reveal probably isn't far off.
