During the Diablo Developer Update last July 6, it was announced that the Blood Knight Class is going to be released on July 13, 2023, as the newest playable character for Diablo Immortal.

In the livestream, the developers mentioned that they have no news on new classes yet, but based on Diablo 3 where the Necromancer class was added five years after the release of the base game, we might see the addition of the Blood Knight class in future Diablo 4 DLCs.
July 6 Developer Update Livestream

The Blood Knight is a new Melee-Hybrid Class that uses a combination of Shadow and Blood abilities to swiftly eliminate groups of enemies. Their abilities can be used to life steal to ensure their sustainability in combat. Using a versatile Polearm, they are capable of splitting them into two daggers to adapt to different situations. While they have limited mobility, they can use Legendary Essences to improve their ability to get close to enemies.

The Blood Knight Class can also harness its curse to temporarily transform into a different creature to enhance its power. While they are transformed into this state, they can use their sharp claws to shred enemies.
