Blizzard Entertainment will soon be releasing a major content update for Diablo IV, and even though Activision Blizzard is part of Microsoft, it won’t be an Xbox exclusive.

Embrace the Shadows! A new hell region is coming to Diablo IV. Vessel of Hatred is the first expansion and next chapter in Blizzard Entertainment’s award-winning, genre-defining series. Pre-order now for immediate access to in-game rewards and prepare for the darkness that awaits you as the first expansion storm through the land of Sanctuary.

Among the apex predators of the jungle, the Spiritborn is an all-new class for the Diablo franchise. They are battle-hardened with mystical synergies that can only be awakened deep within the jungles of Nahantu. Become one of the Spiritborn and embrace the ethereal spirits intertwined with this ancient civilization. Explore Nahantu, the new jungle region in Diablo IV, filled with secrets, dangerous new dungeons, strongholds, and ferocious demons from warring tribes.

Set immediately after the events of Diablo IV, Vessel of Hatred continues the dark story as you fight to save Neyrelle from Mephisto’s tightening grip on her soul, still reeling from the choice she made to contain him. The search for Neyrelle will take you deep into the ancient jungle as she battles the imprisoned Prime Evil. Try to unravel Mephisto’s dark plot as new enemies surround your every move, plotting your demise. The fate of Neyrelle’s soul – and her ability to stop this Prime Evil from destroying Sanctuary – rests in your hands. Never fight alone, as new mercenaries can join you on your quest to fight in the dense undergrowth of Nahantu and beyond. These powerful allies grow in strength as you progress, each equipped with unique abilities to aid you in battle.

Vessel of Hatred also features major updates for all Diablo IV players, including new class skills, Paragon tables, Legendary Glyphs, dungeon types, Tree of Whispers activities, and more. There’s also a new cooperative PvE mode where you can work with your friends to complete objectives and defeat the boss in a multi-level dungeon while earning loot and rewards.

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred is scheduled for release on October 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.
