Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred is going to be the next DLC in the ARPG, and there's a lot of exciting content coming.
One of the announced features was the new Paladin class, and we'll cover when it will be playable.
Here's what we know.
When Does The Paladin Release In Diablo 4? Answered
Blizzard has now showcased some of the aspects of the Lord of Hatred DLC during it's reveal at The Game Awards 2025.
The DLC itself will not be released until April 28th, 2026; but thankfully, Blizzard has already confirmed that the Paladin class will be playable right now.
The Paladin in Diablo 4 will be cenetered around one of the following pillars of playstyle:
- The Indomitable Guardian: An immovable protector empowered by faith. Shield in hand and Light at their back, Paladins defend the innocent and stand unbroken against overwhelming evil.
- The Divine Armory: Classic medieval weaponry—sword, shield, armor, and holy hammers—define the Paladin’s martial identity. But beyond wielding these tools, Paladins conjure and empower them with celestial force, transforming classic medieval weaponry into holy instruments of judgment.
- The Holy Conduit: A living bridge between Heaven and Sanctuary, the Paladin harnesses the Light as raw power. This manifests through a spectrum of radiant VFX—not just gold—supported by weighty, thunderous sound and animation that makes every strike feel like it hits with might.
