The Sanctuary calls you, wanderer
At BlizzCon 2023, an enticing glimpse into the future of Diablo IV was revealed. At the end of the campfire chat, the team answered questions from the community, gathered from players both at BlizzCon and from afar.
Diablo IV's first expansion: Vessel of Hatred
For the first time since Diablo II, players can return to the land of Nahantu. Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion in Diablo IV, continues the main story. Neyrelle fights deep in the jungles of Nahantu to control perhaps the most formidable traveling companion: the Prime Evil Mephisto.
Season of Blood: Unique Malignant Rings and the Abattoir of Zir
While many have tried to heal and cleanse the wounds of the Plague... Malignancy has a nature of spreading. Five Malignant Rings based on popular powers from Season of the Malignant are coming in our next update on November 7, available immediately in both the Seasonal and Eternal Realms.
During the Season of Blood, the Occultist will now display a preview of potential affixes before your selected item is enchanted. Brave wanderers in the seasonal realm can undergo a tough trial in the Abattoir of Zir. All rewards earned in the Abattoir of Zir will persist until the end of the Season of Blood.
A Frost Descends upon the Sanctuary with Midwinter Blight
Wild Blightfiends aim to disrupt any joy the inhabitants of Fractured Peaks have gathered for themselves. More details about Midwinter Blight will be revealed in an upcoming article.
Weekly Leaderboards: The Labyrinthine Race
With the next season in January, The Labyrinthine Race will test your skills in the seasonal realm against other players in a fixed-layout, non-linear dungeon. Players will need to collect Proofs of Might to contribute to their overall score.
Weekly leaderboards track points across Hardcore, Normal characters, party size, and classes. The top players each week will be displayed in a permanent leaderboard called the Hall of the Ancients.
Thank you for an incredible BlizzCon 2023. Sharpen your blades and strengthen your resolve for the upcoming journey. See you in the Sanctuary.
