The news was released via Ubisoft’s official channels and quickly circulated among gaming outlets.

The coverage frames the move as part of Ubisoft’s recent push to revive legacy titles on newer hardware.
Several outlets, including The Outerhaven and Nintendo Everything, also ran stories about Diablo IV arriving on Switch 2, creating occasional cross‑talk in coverage.
