The long-awaitedDiablo 4: Vessel of Hatredexpansion finally has a release date – and a super gory cinematic trailer along with it.
Revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9 in perhaps the gnarliest trailer I’ve ever seen, October 8 marks the day that PC and Xbox Series X players will get to experience the dark new chapter of Blizzard’s action-RPG. Warning: the trailer below contains all manner of blood, guts, and petrified screeching.
Vessel of Hatred picks up at the end ofDiablo 4, with Neyrelle having absconded with a Soul Stone– containing Lord of Hatred, Mephisto. She brings it to a strange new region which the expansion will explore, and if that trailer is anything to go by, Nayrelle is in for a nasty surprise. It shows her becoming increasingly possessed or otherwise influenced by Mephisto via the stone, with the demon god even taking the form of her mother, Vhenard, in a bid to further manipulate her.
