What’s new in Diablo4 Season 5?

In contrast to the first three seasons of Diablo4Season 5 doesn’t have a big new theme or a silly twist on your typical powers. Instead, Season of the Infernal Hordes seems to be inspired by Season 4, Loot Reborn, and revolves around building new endgame improvements that will last much longer than the season itself.

Many of the following changes affect both the seasonal and eternal realms:

• Infernal Hordes, the titular mode of the season, serves as a wave-based Slayer mode that offers special rewards and takes place in the depths of Hell itself. A new questline introducing the Infernal Hordes and their unique mechanics will include mini-dungeons designed to showcase the new mode in short bursts.
• A complete overhaul of all unique items in the game takes up a large portion of this season’s patch notes. While these items still can’t be tempered, their base stats and effects are significantly stronger than ever.
• Many new, great cosmetic items are available through the Battle Pass.
• There will also be extensive changes to classes, skills and items. Diablo4 as part of the Season 5 patch.
