Suddenly, the livestream for Diablo 4 on April 20 becomes much more interesting. The Diablo head hints at an announcement, and fans are already making wild speculations.
When will the announcement come? On Thursday, April 20, Blizzard will host a stream with developer updates for Diablo 4. It has now been revealed that the event will run for a full 90 minutes.
So make sure to free up your Thursday starting at 8 PM German time, as the developers will discuss the endgame and also the classes.
Tweet from Diablo head raises excitement for the livestream
What will happen in the stream? On Twitter, Adam Fletcher reminds us of the livestream. He writes that the stream will last 90 minutes and will provide a deeper insight into the endgame. The topics will also include beta insights on the classes and dungeons.
Live to view are:
- Adam “PezRadar” Fletcher, Global Community Development Director of Diablo
- Joe Shely, Designer for Diablo
- Joseph Piepiora, Associate Game Director of Diablo 4
- Rhykker, streamer and YouTuber focusing on Diablo
What does the boss say: In response to PezRadar’s tweet, Diablo head Rod Fergusson writes:
Wait, wait, wait… PezRadar, is that the [stream] with the secret announcement or are we not talking about that yet? I would hate to give it away.
By the way, I’m glad I’m using Slack right now and not something public like Twitter to ask that. That would be the worst.

Where can you watch the stream? If you want to join in, you can do so directly on the official Diablo channel on Twitch.tv. However, co-streaming is also allowed, so your favorite streamers might watch and comment on the event live.
What could the announcement be? The tweet is causing a lot of excitement in the community. In a Reddit thread, over 130 comments have already gathered within a few hours, discussing the announcement.
- “The next class will be announced! Remember my post so you can laugh at me when I’m completely wrong,” writes brutalicus6
- This assumption is shared by many players hoping that the Paladin will be announced as a class
- In the comments, it is repeatedly mentioned that it could be about a “Cow Level”
- Others suspect another beta phase that may focus on the endgame
The desire for the Paladin in Diablo 4 is strong. This is more than evident in your community as well. This is shown by our survey on your class wishes. Perhaps you will be heard and Blizzard will present this special announcement in the livestream.
However, players also warn that the tweets may just be typical marketing and that one should not set their hopes too high. This way, one cannot be disappointed by the stream.
