Diablo IV has announced season 5 during a new campfire chat event, interesting details were shared about “Vessel of Hatred,” the highly anticipated expansion for Blizzard’s hack ‘n’ slash game. Season 5 will arrive on August 6 and end on October 8. The new features will include a new game mode, a new series of quests, quality-of-life updates, and more.

Diablo IV Announces Season 5 and PTR

Diablo IV was released last year in 2023 and was immediately considered one of the great RPGs of the moment, although there were, of course, doubts, especially regarding its game-as-a-service aspect. Now, despite more issues arising over time, this title continues to advance its roadmap, now offering its fifth season.

More specifically, they have announced what they call PTR or Public Test Realm, which is essentially an early access that allows players to test the new season’s additions in a controlled manner. This was done during the last season and seemed to be a real success, so Blizzard has decided to repeat the approach.

As confirmed, the PTR for Season 5 of Diablo IV will take place from June 25 to July 2, although it is important to note that it will only be accessible to PC users playing through Battle.net.

A Packed Season

The fifth season of Diablo IV includes a new main quest chain, new weapons and gear, and new quality-of-life improvements focused on endgame bosses, as well as updates to accessibility options.

But perhaps the most striking addition is the new roguelite mode, Infernal Hordes, where players will have to face waves of enemies to receive special rewards.

To access these hordes, players will need to use one of the eight available Infernal Compasses, an item that will mark the difficulty of the match.

Each horde will last 90 seconds, and when all enemies are defeated, players can choose between three Infernal Offers, abilities that will change their build within this mode, adding a random and improvisational element.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. If you want to see all the details of the extensive patch notes, we recommend you check out the following link Diablo IV Patch Notes Season 5.
