Diablo 4’s first expansion will arrive sometime late in spaceyear 2024, but it’s also a throwback to Diablo 2. That’s because Vessel Of Hatred is all about one of the Prime Evils, Mephisto, who auld players would have slain in that most-beloved of hack-and-slashers. It’s also going to add a new character class “never before seen in the Diablo universe.”

This weekend’s Blizzcon did bring other Diablo news, however. The third season of the action RPG will add a new weekly challenge dungeon called TheGauntlet, where players compete for Class ranking against each other, and the highest rank at the end of each week will have their name listed “in the Seasonal Hall of the Ancients for all of time.”
The game’s first seasonal event will also arrive on December 12th, with the Midwinter Blight. It’ll last for three weeks and will introduce a “mysterious, red-cloaked terror” to the wintery Fractured Peaks.
Alice B named Diablo 4 this year’sprettiest RSI machine, but since then it has seemed ailing due to misjudged patches, developer climb-downs and a grumpy community.
