Geoff Keighley has dropped hints about a potential expansion for Diablo 4 during his annual The Game Awards tease. His recent social media posts feature an image of a mysterious demonic monolith located in the Mojave Desert, igniting speculation among fans regarding its connection to the action role-playing game. Windows Central's Jez Corden suggests that an announcement related to this expansion, possibly named Vessel of Hatred, may be expected at The Game Awards in December 2025. Additionally, fans are buzzing about the possible introduction of the Paladin class, a highly requested character from Diablo 2, as Blizzard has indicated new content will come in 2026, which aligns with the upcoming award show. The Game Awards are set for December 11, 2025, and excitement continues to build around what Blizzard might reveal.

Will there be a new class introduced in Diablo 4's expansion?

While there are no official confirmations, speculation suggests that the Paladin class, which was immensely popular in Diablo 2, may make its debut in Diablo 4. Given the strong community demand for this character, if it is included in the expansion, it would likely be met with much enthusiasm.

Diablo 4, released in June 2023, is the latest installment in the iconic Diablo series by Blizzard Entertainment. The game has received praise for its gameplay mechanics and dark atmosphere, drawing in both veterans of the franchise and new players. Blizzard's focus on expansions indicates a commitment to maintaining the game's longevity and enriching the player experience with new classes, content, and features.
