Blizzard has officially unveiled Diablo 4 Season 7, dubbed the Season of Witchcraft, set to commence on January 21. Since its launch in 2023, Diablo 4 has been consistently bolstered by Blizzard with regular updates, seasonal content, and one major expansion, with more on the horizon for the beloved action-RPG.
Seasonal content in Diablo 4 is a key element that keeps players engaged between expansions. While some seasons stand out more than others, Season of Witchcraft promises to be one of the most significant releases since the game's debut. This season marks the end of "Chapter 1" with Season 6 and the beginning of "Chapter 2" with Season 7.
When is Diablo 4 Season 7?
- Diablo 4 Season 7 kicks off on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST.
In Season of Witchcraft, players will collaborate with the Witches of Hawezar to recover heads stolen from the Tree of Whispers. Engaging with the Witches of Hawezar offers players a chance to enhance their abilities by delving into witchcraft powers. Additionally, players can discover and equip Occult Gems, which grant new abilities reminiscent of those in Diablo 3. These newfound powers will be crucial in battles against the mutated Headrotten Bosses, who drop valuable rewards, including Occult Gems, upon defeat.
Season 7 also introduces several quality-of-life enhancements. The Diablo 4 armory is receiving a substantial upgrade, allowing players to save and switch between different loadouts seamlessly. New seasonal rewards are on offer, including fresh Uniques and Legendaries, and players can unlock the Raven pet by participating in the Season Journey and completing the new Battle Pass.
Owners of the Vessel of Hatred expansion will enjoy exclusive seasonal content during Season 7, including the opportunity to acquire three new Runes. Blizzard has always emphasized that some seasonal content would be reserved for expansion owners, and this trend may expand in the future. To fully experience everything Diablo 4 Season 7 has to offer, players should ensure they have the Vessel of Hatred expansion.
Looking ahead, Diablo 4 fans can anticipate more seasonal content throughout 2025, along with a new expansion slated for release this fall. While the details of the upcoming expansion remain a mystery, players will have plenty to keep them occupied until further announcements are made.
