Diablo 4 Season 5 Heats Up: Release Date, PTR, Infernal Hordes, and More

Get ready to dive back into the burning hellscape of Sanctuary, because Diablo 4 Season 5 is on the horizon! Here’s a look at what awaits players when the new season launches.

Diablo 4 Season 5 Release Date

While Blizzard hasn’t officially confirmed the release date, it’s heavily anticipated to land on August 6, 2024. This aligns with the presumed end date of the current Season 4, “Loot Reborn.” Diablo 4 seasons typically follow a three-month cycle, with the new season kicking off right as the old one wraps up.

What to Expect

So, what horrors and rewards await in the coming season? Here’s a glimpse:

  • The Eyes of the Enemy: This new Eternal Questline picks up after the events of the main story, offering fresh lore and rewarding players with powerful gear and exclusive cosmetics. You can experience this questline on both Seasonal and Eternal characters, and it will remain accessible even after Season 5 concludes.

  • Infernal Hordes: A brand new roguelike mode throws players into a series of increasingly difficult trials. Each level presents unique challenges and opportunities to power up your character. But beware, death is permanent in Infernal Hordes, forcing you to start anew with the knowledge gleaned from your previous attempts.
  • A Refreshing Infernal Arsenal: Season 5 will unleash a wave of new legendaries and unique items to discover. Expect these armaments to boast exciting new affixes and empower your demon-slaying abilities.
  • Beyond the Loot: Diablo 4’s developers have hinted at additional class updates, quality-of-life improvements, and potentially even a revamped endgame experience. Stay tuned for official announcements as we near the launch date.

For those eager to delve deeper, a Public Test Realm (PTR) ran from June 25th to July 2nd, giving players a chance to experience the upcoming content firsthand and provide feedback.

Season 5 PTR: Prepare for the Onslaught
