Blizzard recently confirmed that the Diablo IV Season of the Infernal Hordes is launching on August 7 following its recent test on the PTR.
In case you missed it, the upcoming Diablo IV season previously entered its testing phase on the PTR, and based on the feedback there, the developers have made several changes ahead of its release on the main game.
To give you a better idea of what to expect in this new season, here’s a rundown of the additions in Season of the Infernal Hordes:
- The Infernal Hordes are a wave-based feature that can be taken on solo or with friends. Select Infernal Offerings (a boon or bane to augment a run) between waves to increase the enemy’s potency and the final rewards.
- Access the new Infernal Hordes feature on both Realms, where it will be interwoven through a Seasonal Questline on the Seasonal Realm, and accessible after a brief new Questline on the Eternal Realm at World Tier III.
- At the end of every Infernal Hordes run, players will face off against the Fell Council. There are 5 Fell Council members total and 3 different members will be selected at random to fight you. Be wary of their unique abilities in the various combinations you’ll encounter them.
- New Hellbreach Dungeons will be available in the Seasonal Realm to give players a first taste of what to expect in Infernal Hordes. These dungeons will reward players with Burning Aether that can be spent on chests at the end.
- Over 50 new Uniques and Legendaries
are coming this Season and will persist beyond the Season’s end. Earn these items by slaying enemies across Sanctuary and in the Infernal Hordes. - Earn Seasonal Progression by collecting caches that drop from slaying powerful servants of Hell. Once you’ve unlocked Seasonal Progression, the Infernal Hordes feature will be one of the best ways to increase your reputation and earn caches throughout the Season.
- Earn even more rewards by progressing through the Season Journey and completing the new Battle Pass which features 28 Free Tiers and 62 Premium Tiers.
