After the release of Nintendo's next-generation console Nintendo Switch 2, the launch lineup is believed to focus more on third-party 3A masterpieces, and its potential game list has also attracted much attention. Recently, Rod Fergusson, head of Blizzard's "Diablo" series, revealed in an interview with Gamertag Radio that "Diablo 4" does have a chance to land on Switch 2 in the future, but he also pointed out the challenges that may be faced.
In the interview, Fergusson said that "Diablo 4" has a chance to be launched on Switch 2. After all, Blizzard has previously ported "Diablo 3" and "Diablo 2: Hellfire Reborn" to the existing Switch console. Through the backward compatibility function of Switch 2, these games can also be played on the new console.
However, he also explained that the main problem in bringing "Diablo 4" to Switch 2 is not hardware performance, but some difficulties they encountered in operating "live service games" on Switch in the past.
Although Fergusson did not elaborate on the challenges he encountered in the past, he was optimistic about the future and hoped that with the launch of Switch 2, live service games would become easier and easier, so that it would make more sense to launch on the platform. In the past, Blizzard's service-type game on Switch was "Overwatch 2" - like other platforms, it will launch new content with each season.
