Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is launching on October 8, 2024.

Vessel of Hatred is the highly anticipated first expansion of Diablo IV and will bring a new region to explore along with a new class for players to use.

Here’s an overview of the expansion:

• NEW CLASS: SPIRITBORN—Ranked among the apex predators of the jungle, the Spiritborn is an entirely new class to the Diablo series. They are battle-hardened with mystical synergies that could only be awakened deep within the jungles of Nahantu. Become one of the Spiritborn and embrace the ethereal Spirits entwined with this ancient civilization. 

• NEW REGION: NAHANTU—Explore Nahantu, the new jungle region in Diablo IV full of secrets, dangerous new Dungeons, Strongholds, and ferocious demons from warring Tribes. 

• CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN—Set immediately following the events of Diablo IV, Vessel of Hatred continues the dark story as you fight to save Neyrelle from Mephisto’s tightening grip on her soul, still reeling from the choice she made to contain him. The search for Neyrelle takes you deep into the ancient jungle as she grapples with the imprisoned Prime Evil. Attempt to unravel Mephisto’s dark plot while new foes encircle your every move, planning your demise. The fate of Neyrelle’s soul—and her ability to stop this Prime Evil from destroying Sanctuary—rests in your hands.   

• NEW GAME UPDATES— Vessel of Hatred also has huge updates for all Diablo IV players with new class skills, paragon boards, legendary glyphs, dungeon types, Tree of Whispers activities, and more. 
  • Never fight alone as new Mercenaries can join you on your quest to fight in the dense undergrowth of Nahantu and beyond.  These powerful allies grow in power as they progress, and each are equipped with unique abilities to help you in combat.   
  • A new co-op PvE mode where you work with your friends to complete objectives and slay the boss in a multi-level dungeon, while getting loot and rewards.
