Vessel of Hatred looks like a hefty expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo 4, but that’s not all. Season 6 will launch alongside it and offer several changes and new features, including a new Party Finder feature. Players can access this via the Social menu, map, and emote wheel to participate in all kinds of activities, from Nightmare Dungeons to the Dark Citadel’s Wings.
The development team is also touting massive character progression changes similar in scale to Season 4’s Loot Reborn. The goal is to make leveling “more rewarding, putting more power in your hands” and accessing “deeper customization” to the same earlier on. Changes are also coming to the Paragon system, and while it remains approachable, there will be a “lot of cool stuff you can do with it.”
Of course, there will also be a new Premium Battle Pass with cosmetics to unlock. Blizzard will discuss all these changes in a Developer Livestream on August 29th, so stay tuned. Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred and Season 6 launch on October 8th for PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS4.
