Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred will directly continue the story of the base game with an evocative title. In the conclusion, the adventurer Neyrielle sailed north with Mephisto’s soul stone. Obviously, his little maritime journey will not go as planned, because the expansion will return to the jungles of Kehjistan and Kurast, capital of the continent, where the Lord of Hatred already has his habits. Diablo IV had until then only explored the desert areas bordering this eastern region.
Little secrets between Horadrims
If Blizzard remains discreet on the content for the moment, the scraps of confirmed information tend to corroborate the information of the dataminers published even before BlizzCon 2023. Thus, Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred will introduce a “new class in the Diablo universe” which would be the Spiritwalker, a powerful warrior drawing his powers from nature, a sort of hybrid of the Barbarian and the Druid. According to the game files, we could also receive the first raid of the game, the Tomb of Akarat and its five wings. Finally, a system of mercenaries to hire and reinforce would also be on the agenda. These leaks seem quite credible, because they predicted that we would return to Kurast long before Blizzard broached the subject.
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is expected at the end of 2024 without further details. We will have to wait until next summer to have more information. Remember that hack ‘n slash is now available on Steam.
