The new Season of Witchcraft begins next week in Diablo IV – and here you can find out what awaits you. Blizzard Entertainment has now announced all the details about the new season.
In a larger blog entry Blizzard Entertainment has now announced all relevant details about the next season in the long-running Diablo IV. This is called the Season of Witchcraft or Season of Witch Power and is scheduled to start in the new week from January 21, 2025.
What's it about? Heads have been stolen from the Whispering Tree and the witches of Hawezar need your help to track them down and the perpetrator. In return, they give you various powers of witch power in the fight against the new opponents, because following the teachings of the witches you will channel the power of the swamp in the future.
There are three different types of sorcerer powers at your disposal, so you should always be able to find a skill combination that suits your play style. Supernatural strength, mind-soul connection, balance between healing and harm-causing abilities? Everything should be implemented by the witch powers.
This also includes new seasonal, legendary gemstones: the Occult Gemstones. These also give you some skills that go back to the predecessor Diablo III.
The cut heads of the Whispering Tree mentioned at the beginning have mutated into abominations, so that you have to deal with bosses with rotten heads. In the new long-term content called “Head Hunts” you can hunt head rotters and exchange their heads for occult gems. Special variants of the Head Rotten are rare, but drop more valuable rewards.
The new armory is also being introduced, allowing you to quickly save complete character configurations and switch between them. And: There are of course seasonal rewards again, as the loot selection is supplemented by unique and legendary items. Vessel of Hatred players will also receive three new runes and updates to existing runes.
