Diablo 4’s next class could be the long-awaited Paladin, if the name of an internal build recently spotted on Blizzard’s servers is to be believed.
As originally spotted by Spanish site DiabloNext (via Icy Veins), an internal build for Diablo 4 named „2.5.Xpaladin.67961“ allegedly made its way to Blizzard’s servers, seemingly hinting that a Paladin class could be in the works.
The 2.5 numbers in the build name appear to be referring to patch 2.5, which would line up with Diablo 4 Season 11, since Season 9 is currently on patch 2.3. Though it seems unlikely Blizzard would release the Paladin before a major expansion (which would see the build number jump to the 3.0 designation), it’s possible some part of a Paladin class might be included as part of the patch 2.5 update, even if the class isn’t fully playable or is only included for testing purposes.
