Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled that it’s releasing an official Diablo cookbook. With Diablo 4 coming out soon, the book seems to be an unconventional piece of merch that longtime fans of the franchise can get their hands on.
First released in 1996, Diablo is a dark fantasy RPG set in the fictional world called Sanctuary. Players can choose from various classes, such as Barbarian, Sorceress, and Necromancer, among others, who they control to battle demons and monsters until they face off against the main antagonist, Diablo. The franchise has three main games so far—all of which have expansion packs—along with a live service game called Diablo Immortal, which is said to take place in between the events of the second and third games. The upcoming fourth installment is set to release on June 6th, but there are rumors that Diablo 4 might get pushed back to a later date.
While waiting for the next game’s launch, Blizzard revealed Diablo: The Official Cookbook by Insight Editions, a publisher known for other cookbooks inspired by God of War, World of Warcraft, and more. According to Simon & Schuster’s website, the cookbook will come out on October 24, 2023, and will retail for $34.99. It will have over 60 food and drink recipes in the span of 192 pages that are based on Diablo locations, such as Tristram and Mount Arreat.
In the past, there have been Diablo fans on Reddit who discussed the possibility of Blizzard developing a Diablo cookbook, and the types of recipes people can find in it. Many said that they would like to learn how to make savory meat dishes, like a turkey leg version of Wirt’s Leg from Diablo 2. While the cookbook’s description didn’t mention the specific dishes and drinks that readers can find, it did hint that it will have recipes that perfect for solo dining and full-on dinner parties. So, Diablo fans might see different drinks based on the health and mana potions, and perhaps even meals named after the seven Great Evils.
Diablo: The Official Cookbook releases October 24.

Blizzard Entertainment has announced that they are set to release a new cookbook inspired by the world of their hugely popular Diablo franchise.
The Diablo Cookbook is inspired by the food and dishes featured throughout the games and will feature 75+ recipes which will include everything from snacks and small bites, to main dishes and even desserts. As well as bringing the tastes of the games to life, each recipe will tell a story about the characters and demons found in the game’s world.
The cookbook is based on the the San Francisco food scene, a setting featured in the games, and will capture the ‘flavors, cultures and ingredients’ found in the city.
The cookbook will also include food photography that’s been inspired by the artwork of Diablo to show off the recipes and will feature interviews with members of the game’s development team and some of the city’s most talented chefs.
The Diablo Cookbook is due for release on June 15th and is now available to pre-order.
For fans of the Diablo franchise this promises to be an exciting way to explore the world of the games in a completely new way. With the cookbook, they’ll be able to experience the tastes, smells and textures of the games, as well as a few stories to accompany the recipes.
