Blizzard didn’t reveal a whole lot of specifics about the expansion aside from the new location, but production director Tiffany Wat did promise “new ways to play” as well as “new evils to vanquish” in the upcoming expansion.
The studio also revealed some new additions coming to Diablo 4 in the nearer future, including a new type of weekly challenge dungeon called The Gauntlet, launching as part of Season 3. Here, players will compete for their class ranking against other wanderers from all over the world, and at the end of each week, those with the highest rank will be immortalized with a commemoration in the Seasonal Hall of the Ancients.
Finally, Diablo 4’s first season event, titled Midwinter Blight, will kick off on December 12 and last for three weeks. Not much is known about it, but Blizzard says you’ll “trudge through the snow-laden, winter terror-land of Fractured Peaks” where you’ll want to “keep your eyes peeled for a mysterious, red-cloaked terror!”
