Blizzard has used the opening of BlizzCon 2023 until now Diablo IV Hate Container, the first expansion of the latest installment of the famous action role-playing franchise of the American company. We have seen the rumors before and finally we can say that most of them have come true.

Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred will continue the story of the main game, but withand focuses on the fate of Mephisto, one of the greatest demons and in his plans and ambitions for Sanctuary. The expansion will take us to visit new areas, we will have an expanded and separate plot thread and we will be able to acquire new objects.

Another of the most important news Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred brings is that, according to Blizzard, it will be introduced a new playable class we’ve never seen before in the franchise, i.e. completely new to the Diablo universe. This means that classes from previous games will not be reused, and we can forget about ever seeing a paladin or an Amazon.

We don’t have any other details, so at this point we can only wait for Blizzard to offer more details about the content of the expansion. However, what we see in the video reminds us a lot of Kurast, one of the most iconic locations in Diablo II, where exactly Mephisto was imprisoned, specifically behind Travincal, as part of the “Repression of Hatred”.

The game requirements will not change with this expansion, so we can be sure in that sense. There will be no improvement on the technical level either. The release of this DLC is expected occurs at the end of the year, and that Blizzard will offer new details in the coming months (probably in the summer). The price is unknown, but from what I’ve seen, I think so It will most likely end up costing between 29.99 and 39.99 eurosbecause it expands the story and adds a new character.

This was also confirmed by the American companyOn December 12th, a special Christmas event called “Midwinter Blight” will begin. (“winter plague”) and that it will last for three weeks. As for the third season, we know that it will introduce a new global competitive challenge known as “The Gauntlet” and that players who reach the highest rank each season will have their name inscribed in the Hall of Ancients.
