According to a new message on the Diablo IV login screen as spotted by Destructoid, “Season 3 – Next Season Begins January 23, 2024.” This seemingly confirms the recent statement from Diablo community development director Adam Fletcher that the developers “will have some news to share very soon.” Details of the season have yet to be revealed. During the BlizzCon day one livestream, Blizzard Entertainment revealed a new teaser trailer announcing the upcoming first expansion for Diablo IV, Vessel of hatred. According to the publisher, the campaign will “continue the dark tale that began in Diablo IV as we learn the fate of the prime evil Mephisto and his demonic plans for sanctuary.” Diablo IV is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and Battle.net.
