Vessel Of Hatred

Diablo 4 made some big promises to players on launch, saying the game would have four seasons a year that would add new story, plus an annual expansion.

Spiritborn entered Diablo 4 with the Vessel of Hatred expansion to the incredible enjoyment of the community for one simple reason: they were ridiculously overpowered.

Diablo 4 added a new feature in Season 4 that has since become a core part of the game, but it's easy to miss if you're not informed about its importance: I'm talking about Tempering, the ability to ask your friendly local Blacksmith to add extra affixes to your gear.

Seething Opals are a new consumable elixir introduced as part of Diablo 4 Season 6 and are designed to give a more focused route of obtaining different gear and materials.

Realmwalkers are the bosses of the public event for Diablo 4 Season 6, Season of Hatred Rising, that started concurrently with the Vessel of Hatred expansion.

While previous Diablo games have typically had a single expansion a year or two after the initial launch of the game, Diablo 4 promises annual expansions, the first of which is Vessel of Hatred.

Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, was due to launch today, October 7, at 4pm pacific alongside Season 6, but Adam Fletcher (otherwise known as PezRadar, Diablo's Global Director of Community) says the launch is delayed due to a "small technical issue." Frankly, it wouldn't be a Diablo 4 launch without some kind of technical problem, but we seem to be in for a fairly long downtime tonight.

The next Diablo 4 expansion is Vessel of Hatred, where we'll journey to Torajan Jungles (known to the locals as Nahantu) chasing after Neyrelle in a continuation of the game's story.

Since Diablo 4 launched, players have been asking for some sort of group finder or lobby feature that they could use to form groups with.

Diablo 4, Vessel of Hatred brings us the mysterious new zone Nahantu, a strange land filled with new creatures and eerie architecture.
