As players brace themselves for the chill of winter, Diablo 4 is turning up the heat with the launch of Season 7, also known as the Season of Witchcraft. Set to ignite excitement this week, this new season brings a fresh wave of content to keep fans engaged as they reminisce about the Vessel of Hatred expansion from last year. It’s a timely drop, offering eager adventurers plenty to sink their teeth into while their DLC campaigns settle into the past.
For those keenly awaiting the exact moment they can dive in, the season kicks off on Tuesday, January 21, at 1 p.m. EST. Depending on where you are, you might need to adjust your alarm clocks. Always stay alert for any technical hiccups that might come into play; Blizzard will keep us all updated if any schedule shifts occur.
Now, let’s talk about the core of Season 7. At the heart of this season is a brand new witchcraft mechanic. As you journey through the seasonal questline, you’ll be granted magical powers distributed across three intriguing skill trees. These include the potent “Eldritch” for offense, the protective “Psyche” for defense, and the versatile “Growth and Decay,” which covers both offensive and defensive tactics. With these new abilities, you’ll be well-prepared to take on a menacing new foe: the Headrotten.
Apart from these enchanting additions, there are several other updates to look forward to. The Armory feature makes its debut, offering the convenience of saving up to five loadouts per character, which should make gear management a breeze. Plus, you can look forward to eight fresh Uniques and eight Legendary Affixes enriching your gameplay. Those who ventured into the Vessel of Hatred expansion will also find three new Runes at their disposal.
