Blizzard Might Have Accidentally Hinted at a Paladin Class Coming to Diablo 4

This week, fans noticed something interesting when Blizzard updated one of its Diablo 4 servers. The new server build had the word paladin in its name, which is a class that many players have been hoping would return to the game.

Blizzard often updates private versions of its games to test new content before anyone else can see it. However, information about these updates sometimes appears through tools that let fans track changes. This time, the server build was called 2.5.Xpaladin.67961. Choosing the word paladin for the file name makes it look very likely that Blizzard is testing this class for a future expansion.

The timing is also interesting. Influencers were visiting Blizzard at the same time to try out new features and give their feedback. This suggests that the paladin class could have been part of these new secret updates.

Even though the expansion that adds the paladin is expected to be version 3.0, Blizzard is probably just using the most stable game version for early testing. When the expansion actually releases, the paladin will likely only be available if you purchase that new content, just like how other classes have previously been unlocked.

The paladin is a popular class in Diablo games. It first appeared in Diablo 2 and later returned in expansions and other Diablo titles. Diablo 4 has not had paladins since it launched, which has disappointed fans who enjoy their holy powers and defensive style.

With this recent mistake, it seems more likely than ever that the paladin class will be back soon in Diablo 4. Fans are excited to see if they will finally get to play as the paladin and experience new ways to battle the forces of evil.
