What's Coming to Diablo 4's First-Ever DLC
Rediscover a Familiar Region
Expand the Sanctuary to discover new Towns and bygone civilizations shrouded in the vast jungle of Nahantu. Battle courageously through new dungeons and Strongholds and take on new enemies from ferocious demons to warring Tribes, the likes of which could only thrive amidst the hellish overgrowth of Kurast or the barren desert of Teganze.
Players will immerse themselves in a new, yet familiar region of Nahantu. This location was once explored in Diablo 2 and features a biome reminiscent of the original depiction in today's DLC. It is home to unique wildlife and plants that cannot be found anywhere else in the Sanctuary and boasts vast jungles that sprawl along winding rivers, offering a new environment for exploration. Adventurers will come across ancient warring tribes, demons infesting the jungles, and new allies to add fresh challenges and experiences to their journey.
Recruit Powerful Allies
Discover and recruit new Mercenaries to join you on your quest. These powerful allies fight alongside you, grow in power as they progress, and help you in combat with unique abilities.
Experience a New End Game Activity
Party up to take on a new multi-faceted dungeon with powerful challenges and promising rewards. First of its kind to Diablo, this dungeon will require eager warriors to team up and take down the challenge together.
The Next Chapter in Diablo 4
Get ready to continue the campaign in Diablo 4. Your search for Neyrelle takes you deep into an ancient jungle in an attempt to uncover Mephisto’s malicious agenda and put his corruption to an end once and for all. But be warned - within infernal jungle mists await gruesome new foes, plotting your demise. Your survival, and the fate of Neyrelle’s soul, hang in the balance.
Following the events that took place in the Sanctuary, players will find themselves searching for Neyrelle, the young girl they helped throughout their adventure. The last time she was seen, she escaped on a ship to an unknown location, carrying the Soulstone that had trapped Mephisto. At first, her intentions are known to no one until she writes the player a letter.
The finale of Diablo 4's campaign ends where a wolf form of Mephisto is seen following the young girl on her trip, which may indicate that this was all planned by the Prime Evil, Mephisto. In the latest DLC, Neyrelle seeks to put an end to Mephisto and she finds herself in a new region called Nahantu. With no one to protect her, the wolf form of Mephisto pursuing her, Neyrelle's life and the safety of the Sanctuary are in peril.
Try the New Class: Spiritborn
The Spiritborn, apex predator of the jungle, is poised to strike. Battle with styles and mystical synergies that could only be awakened deep beneath the jungle’s canopy with an entirely new class to the iconic Diablo series.

Diablo 4 Seasons and Updates
NEW! Diablo 4 Season 4: Loot Reborn (Current)
Loot Reborn is not like the others. Seasons in Diablo 4 usually feature a new questline, time-limited rewards, and game mechanics- all of which will be available for a limited time. Loot Reborn will take on a new theme focusing on overhauling core game systems, itemization, and many end-game changes. Unlike the other seasons in Diablo 4, Loot Reborn will persist beyond the upcoming Season and Eternal Realms.
After the success of PTR (Public Test Realm), the changes are now set to take effect on the release day of Season 4: Loot Reborn. The season will bring about itemization changes, new systems overhaul, Tempering and Masterworking features, and the introduction of new bosses and enemies. World Tiers and Helltide events are also going to undergo changes that will reshape the Season Endgame mechanics of Diablo 4. Lastly, players will team up with the Iron Wolves- a group of seasoned mercenaries to vanquish evil in the Sanctuary.
Diablo 4 Season of Loot Reborn Key Features
- NEW Itemization Features: Masterworking, Tempering, and more
- Helltide Reborn
- Fight the newest Boss: Andariel Joins the Fray & Tormented Echoes
- NEW: The Pit of Artificers
- NEW Rewards with the Season Journey and Battle Pass
- Earn Fabled Threads from Tejal's Shop
- More Quality of Life Updates!
- Diablo 4 Patch Notes will be released soon!
Diablo 4: Loot Reborn General Item Updates
- Item drops are now simplified and are made more rewarding
- Drops have been reduced in number but these items now possess affixes that are more effective
- Affixes have been reduced (3 on Legendary, 2 on Rare Items)
- Blacksmith's required materials to perform services have been reduced
- Forgotten Souls can now be earned from Whisper Bounties, a rare drop from ALL Elites
- Some Uniques now have a chance to drop at Woried Tier 1 and 2, while the rest becomes available at World Tier 3
- Sacred Items drop at World Tier 3, while Ancestral Items drop at World Tier 4
- Uber Uniques will start appearing when killing Level 55 Monsters (at max Item Power level)
Season of Loot Reborn primarily focuses on reshaping the way itemization works in Diablo 4. One of the changes that it will bring about is the instance of item drops have been reduced while making them individually more powerful. This means fewer items to sort through and you can get to the task at hand of slaying monsters which results in fewer trips back to town. To compensate for the reduced frequency and affixes, Materials gained from Salvaging and Crafting have been adjusted to match these changes.
Aside from these item changes, the Blacksmith will also undergo some changes to match the item density. The Gold cost to re-roll items when Enchanting now has a ceiling limit, and the required materials to perform services at the Blacksmith have now been reduced.
Uniques, Uber Uniques, Sacred, and Ancestral Item Drops in Diablo 4
The active World Tier now has a direct effect on the rarity of items earned. Sacred Items begin to drop at World Tier 3, while only Ancestral Items will drop at World Tier 4. Legendary Item drops from Level 95 enemies will still come with a lock-in value of 925 Item Power.
Uniques have a different system for drops. Some Uniques are dropped at World Tier 1 and 2, while the rest are dropped at World Tier 3. Uber Uniques on the other hand are chance drops from killing monsters that are Level 55 at MAX Item Power level.
Season 4 Codex of Power Updates in Diablo 4
Extracting Aspects from Legendary items now transfers them to your Codex of Power for indefinite use. Instead of occupying space in your inventory, the Codex of Power now functions as a library storing your most powerful extracted Aspect versions, available for unlimited usage.
The Codex of Power showcases all available Aspects, allowing you to dedicate more time to pursuing the highest Aspect rolls attainable. Upon extracting the Aspect with the maximum potential value, a distinct border indicates its completion. Within the Codex of Power, Aspects can now be marked as favorites, and a tooltip will indicate whether you already own a particular Aspect while browsing. It's important to note that any progress in the Seasonal Realm will be reset upon the end of the Season, and acquired affixes will be saved in the Eternal Realm. Should you possess the same Aspect in the Eternal Realm, the Codex of Power will retain the Aspect with the higher value.
Season 4 Loot Reborn: New Upgrades in Diablo 4
Tempering in Diablo 4
- This new system will allow you to add affixes to your items at the Blacksmith through a new reusable item that can drop from most content in-game, called Temper Manuals!
- These are categorized like the Codex of Power (eg: Resource, Mobility, etc)
- Once gained, you retain these for unlimited use!
- Each manual contains a handful of affixes; you are able to attach one at a time.
- Affixes can be rerolled up to the item’s Temper Reroll limit.
- Ancestral items can have two Tempered affixes from different categories.
Tempering is a new service that can be acquired from Blacksmiths all over Sanctuary. This allows affixes to be added to your chosen Item by learning Crafting Manuals. These items are found as a regular drop throughout the campaign, and once learned, they can be used indefinitely (like the improved Codex of Power). Each of the Crafting Manuals will contain a select number of affixes and will correspond to six different categories: Weapons, Offensive, Defensive, Mobility, Utility, and Resource.
NOTE: Ancestral Items can have 2 Tempered Affixes from different categories. Tempering requires specific materials and a gold fee to complete the service.
Masterworking in Diablo 4
- A late-game crafting system to upgrade items, using materials gathered from The Pit of Artificers.
- Improves the value of your current affixes.
- There are 12 upgrade ranks.
- Every 4 ranks, a single affix is massively upgraded.
- Other ranks slightly increase the value of all affixes.
Masterworking is one of the newest crafting system that will upgrade the strength of ALL AFFIXES on Weapons. Each time you upgrade a weapon at every 4th tier, one of the equipped affixes will turn Blue signifying a massive upgrade. If that same affix receives another upgrade, it will turn Yellow, then, in rare cases, an Orange if improved for the third time.
NOTE: If you hit the max level of Masterworking and you're unsatisfied with the results of the affixes, you can reset the and begin the process again. Masterworking requires specific materials and a gold fee to complete the service.
New Greater Affixes in Diablo 4
The Greater Affixes now only appear on Ancestral Legendary and Unique Items. These affixes are 1.5x more powerful than the normal affixes and provide a stronger combat advantage. A distinct audio cue will play whenever an item with a Greater Affix drops to alert players of its presence. It will also show a Unique Icon in the World and within the player's inventory. Greater Affixes are exclusive drops and cannot be acquired differently. They can only be found in World Tiers 3 and 4.
Improved Gems in Diablo 4
Gems have now been simplified and become more effective across the Sanctuary. Crude Gems have been removed and crafting levels have been shifted back. Normal Gems are now available at Level 51, Flawless at Level 711, and Royal at Level 91. The following changes will apply to the gems:
- Diamonds will increases All Resistance Values
- Topaz now increases Intelligence
- Sapphire now increases Willpower
- Amethyst now increases Strength
- Emeralds now give bonus Dexterity
Diablo 4 Season 4: Public Test Realm (PTR)
Diablo 4's first-ever Public Test Realm is going live on April 2 until April 9. The PTR allows players with a Battle.net (PC) account to test the upcoming changes for Season 4 ahead of the full release. One of the biggest changes is the loot frequency and item quality towards the endgame which will be opened up to the PTR servers to experience before it goes public. To save everyone's time, there will be a quick boost granted to all participants by simply talking to an NPC so they can try out the new system.

Diablo 4 Seasons typically span 3 months, with the developers aiming for 4 Seasons per year. Season of the Construct marks the first season of 2024, with three more to follow later. The season concludes on April 16, 2024.

We will be going over each and every one of them in this section however, for more detailed information, visit this page.
Season of Construct New Questline
In Sanctuary, peace has never been an option. This month, a new Season will unveil the Ancient Forces residing deep within the deserts of Kehjistan.

To join the upcoming season starting on January 23, players must create a new character on the Seasonal Realm, a complimentary feature for all Diablo 4 owners. However, to qualify, they need to have completed the Main Campaign with at least one character on the Eternal Realm in prior seasons. Upon meeting this requirement, players can engage in Season of the Construct.
In the Seasonal Realm, players will have the following options as they embark on their new journey. They will skip the Campaign, access to mounts immediately, unlocking all Altars of Lilith, with retained Renown Points and also Retention of previously discovered maps and corresponding Renown Points. At the end of the roughly three-month season, progress made in the Seasonal Realm, including collected items in the Seasonal stash, will be transferred to the Eternal Realms. However, season-specific features will not carry over.
New Companion in Diablo 4
In the Season of the Construct, Wanderers can harness the Loom's power and obtain their own Seneschal Companion. Zoltun will provide the Seneschal as you advance through the seasonal questline, allowing you to customize it using magical Governing and Tuning Stones found in Vaults and across Sanctuary.

What is Diablo 4
Diablo 4 continues the Diablo series known for its action role playing genre. They continue to be Developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Activation Blizzard. Since the initial announcements, Endgame Closed beta has been confirmed and World Level, and Skull System Mechanics have been discussed in a few interviews with developers. Diablo 4 was initially announced during the 2019 Blizzcon and was introduced with a cinematic trailer. Diablo 4 will continue the series and begin with Lilith's return to Sanctuary.
Similar features are expected to return such as familiar Classes from previous titles, the unique difficulty system, and a continuation of the storyline. Much like Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4 will feature a number of available in-game items for purchase, however, developers had wanted to ensure fans that these purchases will not offer any in-game benefits or power, but are bought to further customize characters according to different aesthetics and cosmetic preferences.
The initial announcements of the game have already introduced some features that can be found through the Beta stages that are open to a small pool of current Diablo players. These players must have their Battle.net setting set to receive marketing and emails in order to receive the invitation if chosen. The End Game Beta will introduce Helltide (Event), Nightmare Dungeons, Whispers of the Dead, Fields of Hatred (PvP), and Paragon Boards. However, further details on these features may not be released during this period, so those with the invitation will have exclusive access to any unique features found in Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 Features
- Classes & Character Customization: Familiar Classes from previous installments can be found in this title and are expected to expand as updates are released. So far 5 Classes have been confirmed and players can choose between, Barbarians, Druids, Necromancers, Rogue, and the Sorcerers.

Entering these zones will then force players to be alert as well for the risk of losing some valuable items as well.
- Difficulty: Difficulty levels in Diablo 4, will feature some of the same aspects from previous games in the series. They will range from Normal to Torment 5 and players can work their way up the difficulties in order to reap more valuable rewards.

The Story and Setting for Diablo 4
Lilith has returned to Sanctuary, summoned by a dark ritual after eons in exile. Her return ushers in an age of darkness and misery.
Following the previous titles in the series, Diablo 4 is set years after the happenings of Diablo 3 take place. Diablo 4 tells the full story of Lilith’s return to Sanctuary. The endless battle between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells rages on as chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary. With ceaseless demons to slaughter, countless Abilities to master, nightmarish Dungeons, and Legendary loot, this vast, open world brings the promise of adventure and devastation. Survive and conquer darkness – or succumb to the shadows.
"The dream continues to haunt me old friend. It always starts with a journey to a distant land. There I find a city in flames. Streets choked with corpses. Unthinkable destruction. I witness senseless slaughter. Brother against brother. Pure hatred. And then, executions. And then suffering surrounded me until my turn comes. It burned my eyes. Break my bones. I wake in terror. There's no-one left to stand against them. You think me mad, old friend. But I know these dreams. They tell of the future. Hell is coming, brother. Hell is coming."
-- Trailer Script
Legends of Creation
An old legend has it that Sanctuary was created by the union of an angel and a demon, and that their descendants—humanity—built villages, then cities and empires, spreading across the land to form the world's cultures and civilization.
A Reign of Enmity
Chaos threatens to consume Sanctuary as evil and impiety continue to spread. Depraved demons and corrupted wildlife roam the land unchecked, as terrified townsfolk huddle in dark corners trying to survive one more day.
Cult of Personality
The pious plead for guidance from their faith, but doubts have them feeling that their devotion is misplaced. Lilith's return has spawned a new wave of cultists and worshippers, but regardless of dogma, all prayers remain unanswered.
Daughter of Hatred
The daughter of Mephisto awakens burning urges in the hearts of those around her, be it demon, human or beast. Profound fears, unchecked rage, repressed impulses, sinful desires—all are brought forth violently and irresistibly by her mere presence.
Unstoppable Evil
As darkness returns to Sanctuary, a brave few dare to face this threat. But what fate awaits them in a land forsaken by hope, valor, wisdom, and justice?
Unique Combat and Gameplay Mechanics in Diablo 4
What is new in Diablo 4?
A few of the features below are what we have gathered from Blizzard's regular quarterly updates following the initial announcements of Diablo 4. Until its release, the developers are continuously taking in feedback from the community and continue to make changes to improve different mechanics and systems to work towards a great release.
- Itemization: Developers have expressed their desire to strengthen Class identities to further enhance build customization and give each classes more unique features on their own.
- Skills & Talents: This is a new system where experience can now be spent to unlock Skill and build your unique skill tree combination to add depth to each build.
- Legendary Items: Changes are being made to legendary items to bring more focus and value to other aspects and features in the game, so that players are not relyant on obtaining legendary items and the best equipment.
- Stats: Players can expect new stats that are different from the regulars seen in previous games.
- Class Mechanics: Each Class in Diablo 4, comes with a unique Class Mechanic that governs their playstyle and abilities, allowing to further customize the selected Class, as well as doting it with a distintive and unique system.
What Classes are in Diablo 4?
As of the initial announcements, the 5 Classes of Diablo 4 have been released seeing some returning familiar Classes from previous installments. The Heroes of the Sanctuary of Diablo 4 are the Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and the Sorcerer.
The Barbarian has unparalleled strength and expertly wields an entire arsenal in battle, with a weapon for every occasion. He bellows intimidating war cries and unleashes ground-shaking slams to send approaching hordes reeling.
The Druid is a savage shapeshifter, fluidly transforming between the forms of a towering bear or a vicious werewolf to fight alongside the creatures of the wild. He also commands the power of earth, wind, and storm, unleashing nature’s wrath to devastating effect.
A Necromancer’s dominion over life and death grants this grisly apothecary the ability to summon skeleton armies and golems, and to unleash baneful poison, curse, and bone skills upon his foes.
The Rogue is an adaptable, agile warrior who can specialize in ranged or close quarters combat. She can best any foe with her imbued weapons, perform powerful combo attacks, and can augment her arsenal with deadly poisons and shadow magic to slay demons with impunity.
The Sorceress shapes the elements into whatever form is necessary to ensure victory, from hurling bolts of lightning, impaling her foes upon jagged spikes of ice, and raining flaming meteors down from the sky.
