Not 6 months ago, Diablo 4 was finally released on all machines. But Blizzard does not intend to stop there, since 2 extensions were already planned for hack ‘n’ slash. BlizzCon 2023 will have been an opportunity for Blizzard to reveal a little more. Scheduled for the end of 2024, Vessel of Hatred is the first expansion expected on Diablo 4. This will allow you to pursue Mephisto, but above all to meet a new class.
A return to basics
From the first word, we know that Mephisto is not the only resource taken from a previous opus. The narrator mentions the name of Akara, the High Priestess of the Sisterhood of the Blind Eye. A key character in Diablo 2 since she is the one who allows us to open a passage to Tristram to rescue Deckard Cain. In addition, the landscape presented to us represents a lush forest in which there are buildings strangely resembling those of the Travincal forest, cradle of Mephisto’s prison.
All the clues therefore suggest that this is the destination we will have to go to. But that’s not the only surprise that awaits us in Diablo 4 with Vessel of Hatred. During our quest to thwart the plans of the Lord of Hate, new adventurers will be able to embark on the adventure. So a new class will be added. This should logically be inspired by the theme of the extension. Knowing that she has never appeared in the license before, it’s difficult to know which way to turn. However, if one goes to Kurast, it is a safe bet that the Church of Zakarum, whatever its new form, will not be foreign there.
