At this time at Blizzcon, Blizzard teased an upcoming growth to Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred, which can embrace a model new, never-seen-before in Diablo class. It is coming in late 2024.
We did not get too many particulars about Vessel of Hatred past that, although we did study it can happen in a area known as Nahantu, and can concern the destiny of Mephisto and his plans for Sanctuary.
We’d have the ability to glean just a bit extra from some current datamines, which recommended an growth known as “Lord of Hatred” fairly than Vessel of Hatred, however did middle Mephisto. The datamine suggests new questlines, new gear, and new endgame actions, in addition to a brand new class known as “Spiritborn” and a mercenary system for NPC companions to struggle alongside the participant.
Datamines steadily embrace outdated and even inaccurate info, so it is potential all the above is modified or not related by the point the precise Vessel of Hatred growth rolls round. But it surely could possibly be a helpful clue to Diablo followers hungrily gobbling up particulars of what the Prime Evils of Hell are cooking up.
Diablo 4 has been on a roll currently, with a profitable season of vampire-themed content material in Season of Blood. We have cherished the sport since launch, giving it a 9/10 and calling it a “gorgeous sequel with close to excellent endgame and development design that makes it completely excruciating to place down.” Its most up-to-date patch, 1.2.1, made respecs quite a bit simpler for gamers. In the meantime, gamers are nonetheless onerous at work attempting to resolve the thriller of the sport’s secret Cow Stage.
