In the month of August, Diablo 4 Season 5 began and one of the biggest changes was the introduction of the Infernal Hordes game mode, which brought a roguelike experience to Sanctuary. Other notable changes were a series of changes to all unique items, an increase in the drop rate of legendary items, and Uber Uniques, now called Mythic Uniques. Players also explored new quests available in the Seasonal and Eternal Realms and the new Hellbreach Dungeons. Now, as the Infernal Hordes season comes to a close, players are preparing for what comes next.
After much waiting, Diablo 4 has revealed season 6, which begins October 7 at 4pm PDT. Called “Season of Hatred Rising,” the big highlight is the return of Mephisto in the Diablo franchise, whose expansion of Hate gave rise to the new creatures known as Realmwalkers. The season will introduce a new mission called Creeping Hatred, where players will learn how to defeat the Realmwalkers and use the power of the Seething Realms to acquire the new Seething Opals Elixir. From October 7th Diablo 4 will see the introduction of a number of progression improvements, such as adjustments to the way Apogee Points work.
