Blizzard is gearing up to launch Diablo 4 Season 5, bringing in tons of new content. Named the Season of the Infernal Hordes, this update introduces a challenging wave-based game mode called Infernal Hordes, alongside over 50 new Unique and Legendary items. Here is what players can expect from the new Season of the Infernal Hordes.
Diablo 4 Season 5: Season of Infernal Hordes Release Date and Details
Players can get their hands on Diablo 4 Season 5 next week, i.e., August 6 at 10:30 PM IST. This will be the final update before Blizzard rolls out Diablo IV’s first expansion, Vessell of Hatred, in October 2024.
Speaking of the upcoming content, the new mode is a wave-based feature which can be played solo or with friends. Unlike previous seasonal content, this mode will be available in both the seasonal and eternal realms once players reach World Tier III.
While a brief introductory quest is required, the thrill of battling through endless waves of demons is open to all. Players need to be quick and smart as they progress in this mode, as it has limited revives before it throws them out.
Players can select Infernal Offerings between waves to make their game more challenging for better rewards. Each wave lasts only 60 seconds, so quick action is essential to advance through the ranks. The ultimate test comes in the form of the Fell Council, a trio of randomly selected demonic bosses with unique abilities at the end of each Horde.
Infernal Hordes also introduces a new currency, Burning Aether, earned by progressing through waves. After successfully defeating the Fell Council, this currency can be spent for additional rewards. To unlock new Infernal Hordes, players must craft Infernal Compasses, which scale from Tier 1 to 8, with higher tiers offering better rewards.
A new Battle Pass will also be available, featuring 28 free tiers and 62 premium tiers for players to work through.
Blizzard has considered feedback from the PC and Battle.net Public Test Realm (PTR) to refine the final version of Diablo IV’s Season of the Infernal Hordes. A Developer Update Livestream is scheduled for August 1 at 11 a.m. PDT on Blizzard’s Twitch and YouTube channels to provide further insights. This stream will delve into the new season’s features and updates.
