New Content in Diablo 4 Season 7
The Season of Witchcraft brings a host of new content to Diablo 4. Central to this season is the Seasonal Questline, which revolves around the Witches of Hawezar and the Tree of Whispers. By engaging with this questline, players will unlock the powers of Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay witchcraft, allowing them to enhance their favorite builds with these seasonal abilities.
Complementing these powers, the Season of Witchcraft introduces Occult Gems, new socketables that players can acquire by collaborating with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. These gems are designed to synergize with the witchcraft powers, adding another layer of strategy to the gameplay.
The Season of Witchcraft Battle Pass will also debut at the start of Season 7, featuring 90 Reward Tiers. As with previous seasons, the Battle Pass includes both a free and a premium track, offering a variety of cosmetic items that players can earn as they progress through the tiers.
Lastly, the Armory, a new permanent feature, will be introduced with the Season of Witchcraft. This feature allows players to swiftly switch between different builds, adding flexibility and convenience to their gameplay experience. The Armory is yet another exciting addition that players can look forward to as Season 7 begins.
