The wording and imagery in the clip strongly point to a next expansion titled Lord of Hatred, with Mephisto named specifically in the teaser. Blizzard has not published a full announcement or trailer yet, but the timing aligns with The Game Awards 2025 in Los Angeles later tonight. Fans and sleuths have been tracking related clues in the run-up to the show. Console PC Gaming previously covered Geoff Keighley’s what3words clue that sent players to a site in the Mojave Desert and a separate set of signs pointing to a potential class reveal; see our report on Keighley’s what3words clue and the story on the ongoing paladin reveal theory.
Blizzard has not posted further details about release timing, platforms, or features. Expect any official trailer or announcement to appear during The Game Awards presentation tonight; Console PC Gaming will publish updates as Blizzard shares them.
