Diablo 4 Season Five, the Season of the Infernal Hordes, will be the final season before the Vessel of Hatred expansion launches in October. Players will be hoping that Diablo 4 will feel complete with all of the major changes from Season Four as well as those coming in Season Five.
The State of Diablo 4 in Season 5
It’s no secret that Blizzard’s action RPG has been plagued by several uneventful updates and seasons since Diablo 4 launched in mid-2023. Players have had long stretches of time where they hated looting, with many even asking for refunds so they could pick up Baldur’s Gate 3 during the darker days. Those issues appear to be behind the mega-sequel, however, with ecstatic players now feeling like Diablo 4 is on the verge of being “done” after the core content updates of season four and the lofty promises of season five.
Players today agreed that these Diablo 4 seasons have been Blizzard’s way of “finally finishing the game” in terms of core mechanics, overall changes, and balance; the expectation now is that future adjustments will be minimal at best. Of course, this is a live service game so it’ll never truly be finished, but that’s a good thing.
That hope now has Diablo 4 fans eagerly looking to the future. There will be changes, they admitted, even in a “finished” game, but anything that comes after season five should strengthen the finished game, like the upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion.
