Diablo 4: Major Updates Expected on January 21

Summary

  • Diablo 4 Season 7, Season of Witchcraft, kicks off on January 21, with players joining forces with the Witches of Hawezar.
  • This season introduces new Occult Gems, unique powers, challenging Headrotten Bosses, and exciting seasonal rewards.
  • Owners of the Vessel of Hatred expansion will enjoy exclusive seasonal content, including three new Runes during Season 7.

Blizzard has unveiled all the details for Diablo 4 Season 7, Season of Witchcraft, set to launch on January 21. Since its release in 2023, Blizzard has continuously enriched Diablo 4 with frequent updates, engaging seasonal content, and a major expansion, with more on the horizon for this beloved action-RPG.

The seasonal content in Diablo 4 keeps players engaged between expansions. While some seasons stand out more than others, Season of Witchcraft appears to be one of the most significant updates since the game's launch. This is because Season 6 concludes the game's "Chapter 1," and Season 7 initiates "Chapter 2."

Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft begins on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST. Players will collaborate with the Witches of Hawezar to recover heads stolen from the Tree of Whispers. By delving into witchcraft powers, players can enhance their abilities. Additionally, they can discover and equip Occult Gems to unlock new capabilities, some reminiscent of Diablo 3. These new powers will be crucial in battles against the formidable Headrotten Bosses, which drop valuable rewards, including Occult Gems.

When is Diablo 4 Season 7?


  • Diablo 4 Season 7 starts on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST.

Season 7 also brings quality-of-life enhancements, including a significant upgrade to the Diablo 4 armory. This allows players to save and switch between different loadouts effortlessly. New seasonal rewards include fresh Uniques and Legendaries, the opportunity to unlock the Raven pet by participating in the Season Journey, and rewards from completing the new Battle Pass.

Owners of the Vessel of Hatred expansion will gain the most from Season 7, with access to three new Runes. Blizzard has always emphasized that certain seasonal content would be exclusive to expansion owners, and this trend may continue with even more substantial content in the future. For a comprehensive Diablo 4 Season 7 experience, owning the Vessel of Hatred expansion is essential.

Diablo 4 fans can look forward to more seasonal content throughout 2025, alongside a new expansion slated for release this fall. While details on the next expansion remain a mystery, players will have plenty to keep them occupied until further announcements are made.
