Published Februupdated July 6, 2023.Hate has returned to Sanctuary, but will you be able to stop it? Read on to learn everything we know so far about Diablo 4, including its release date, special editions, and character classes in our preview! Diablo 4 Release Date and Time June 5, 7:00 PM ESTĭiablo 4 is coming out on Jat 7 pm EST for both PC and consoles, according to Blizzard Entertainment President Mike Ybarra.

Stay tuned - we will update you here as we know more! We, as players, will have plenty to keep us busy against the armies of Lilith. The Sanctuary of Diablo 4 is vast, with a story to match. D4 seasons will also drive the Battle Pass - with many reassurances that pay to win is not a factor, as paid rewards are only cosmetic - but the Season’s Journey and all other Seasonal content are free to all players and driven by the Season’s theme. Season of the Malignant has us actively purging Sanctuary of this new corruption, and earning powerful new gems for our troubles. Patch 1.04 is due live this afternoon with bug fixes, but the seasonal patch, which will launch on July 18, shortly before the season starts, is supposedly “very chonky” with lots of content.Īs far as Season content, we can expect more than we get in Diablo 2 or Diablo 3 seasons: Season patches will include a new, self-contained seasonal story backed by a Diablo 3-style Season Journey as well as game improvements and other new content. This gives the developers two more weeks - from the time of the latest D4 developer update - to squash any post-launch bugs. The first Season is only the start.ĭiablo 4 Season 1 starting on July 20 gives players six-and-a-half weeks (from launch) to finish the campaign the first time - and you’ll want to finish the campaign so you can unlock the campaign skip and jump immediately into the new season content when you roll a Seasonal character.

We know Season 1 starts on July 20, and if Blizzard keeps to its planned schedule we should see Season 2 before the end of the year, too.

Blizzard plans to deliver “up to four Seasons a year” in Diablo 4, with new seasons about every three months - modeled after the Diablo 3 system.
