Diablo 4 has officially revealed its sixth season, which will start on October 7. With the seasonal system, Diablo 4 players are introduced to new content every few months, introducing mechanics, items, and systems.
In August, Diablo 4 kicked off Season 5, and one of the biggest new features was the introduction of the Infernal Hordes game mode, bringing a rogue-like experience to Sanctuary. Other major changes were a series of adjustments to all unique items, an increase in the drop rate of legendary items, and Uber Uniques, now called Mythic Uniques. Players also explored new quests available in the Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and the new Hellbreach Dungeons. Now, as the season of Infernal Hordes ends, players are preparing for what comes next.
After much anticipation, Diablo 4 has revealed Season 6, which will begin on October 7th at 4:00 PM PDT. Named “Season of Hatred Rising”, the big highlight is the return of Mephisto Diablo franchise, whose expansion of hatred has given rise to the new creatures known as Realmwalkers. The season will introduce a new quest called Creeping Hatred, where players will learn to defeat Realmwalkers and use the power of the Seething Realms to acquire the new Seething Opals Elixir. From October 7, Diablo 4 will see the introduction of a number of progression improvements, such as tweaks to how Paragon Points work.

Players can celebrate, as Season of Hatred will finally introduce the long-awaited party finder, allowing them to find other players by game type and activity. Another change that promises to impact gameplay is the addition of a new skill and passive for each Diablo 4 class, expanded construction possibilities. As usual, a new seasonal journey will begin, and with it, players will unlock rewards such as Resplendent Spark, Shepard of Hollows Mount Trophy, and Seething Opals. The new Battle Pass will have 90 levels of rewards, 28 free and 62 premium, and three new boons called Urn of Opals, Urn of Remnant and Urn of Curiosities.

With Diablo 4s first expansion, players will travel to Nahantu and fight new monstrosities, along with exploring new side quests, dungeons and strongholds. A new campaign will be available, along with the debut of the new Spiritborn class and mercenaries.
