Furthermore, players will gain access to Boss Powers acquired from 24 unique bosses scattered across Sanctuary, offering an opportunity to further personalize their gameplay experience. The long-awaited Berserk crossover event will run from May 6 to June 3, and the Battle Pass has been completely overhauled, allowing players to select the order in which they want to earn rewards. Other enhancements will include the ability to teleport directly to party members, new challenges, and improved loot from bosses.
Gameplay Adjustments in Season 8
In light of prior feedback, Blizzard has announced significant gameplay changes for Season 8, addressing concerns that the game has been too easy. Players will find that the number of Legendary items dropping during the leveling phase will be decreased. Additionally, endgame content has been modified to present a greater challenge, particularly in achieving the highest Torment tier.
Although some players expressed concern over the newly revealed plans for 2025, Diablo boss Rod Fergusson has assured fans that the franchise will continue to thrive. He has hinted at a comprehensive roadmap for the series extending over the next decade. Season 8 is set to run through July, with Season 9 expected to occur from July to September. Additionally, a new expansion is scheduled for release in 2026, which will introduce a new ranking system to invigorate the gameplay.
