Now players can apparently sign the whole contract.
Blizzard has revealed Diablo Immortal’s newest class, the Warlock, arriving with The Bloodied Jewel major update on June 17, 2026. It will be the game’s 10th class, and the pitch is wonderfully unwise: a demon-summoner, portal master, and wielder of Hell’s dark power.
So yes, Diablo Immortal has gone full demon lawyer.
Not just “I use dark magic.”
More like “I have read the forbidden contract, signed in cursed ink, and brought my own monster.”
The Warlock Is Built Around Demons, Portals, And Bad Decisions
The class fantasy is pretty clear.
Warlocks are tied to forbidden Vizjerei demonology, the kind of magic that historically got people stripped of titles, condemned by polite society, and generally treated like someone who brought a live grenade to a library.
In gameplay terms, the Warlock fights by summoning demons, hurling Hellfire, opening portals, sacrificing life, and commanding a primordial demon companion called the Soulgorger.
That name alone tells you this class is not here to heal the emotional atmosphere.
The Soulgorger is not just cosmetic flavor either. Blizzard describes it as a passive companion with attacks, flame breath, leap commands, sacrifice mechanics, and a Devour system that lets it consume other demons to evolve and gain additional powers.
That is not a pet.
That is a workplace liability with teeth.
There Are Several Ways To Try The Class
Blizzard is also making sure players get plenty of ways to test the Warlock before fully committing to the lifestyle of demonic HR.
You can roll a fresh character, use Class Change, play the Origin Quest “Power’s Price,” try the class in Fractured Plane, enter a Warlock Trial Dungeon with pre-set builds, or jump into a limited-time Warlock Race speedrun event.
That is smart.
A new class can look amazing in trailers and still feel awkward once your actual hands touch the buttons. Giving players a few controlled ways to try summons, portals, and Hellfire before investing fully should help the Warlock avoid becoming another “cool idea, weird execution” experiment.
Over 50 Legendary Items Means Build Chaos Is Coming
The Warlock will also launch with more than 50 new Legendary items.
That is where things could get properly strange.
There are Legendary effects for Demonic Portal, Soulgorger, Siphon Life, Infernal Eruption, Lash of Pain, Brimstone Gateway, Blood Offering, and more. Some change summoned demons. Some affect portals. Some lean into sacrifice, speed, burning enemies, or empowering your monstrous little problem child.
In other words, the class is not just “Necromancer but redder.”
At least on paper, Warlock looks like a nastier, riskier summoner with more portal tricks and more self-damaging dark bargains.
Diablo Immortal Needed A Class This Dramatic
The Warlock arrives as part of The Bloodied Jewel, Diablo Immortal’s next major update, which also sends players back toward Lut Gholein and Vizjerei trouble.
That is a strong setting for this kind of class.
If you are going to introduce forbidden demonology, ruined mage towers, lost knowledge, and Hell-powered contracts, you might as well do it somewhere that already feels like ancient magic made several poor choices in a row.
Will the Warlock be balanced? Who knows.
Will players immediately find some cursed Legendary combination that turns the screen into a portal-based tax crime? Almost certainly.
But as a class fantasy, this one has teeth.
Diablo Immortal did not just add another caster.
It added a walking demonic contract dispute.
And honestly, Sanctuary probably had it coming.
