Blizzard is back with another exciting update as they unveil Diablo 4 Season 7, dubbed the Season of Witchcraft, launching on January 21. Known for keeping fans engaged with consistent updates since its 2023 debut, Diablo 4 continues to expand with intriguing seasonal content and a major expansion already under its belt.
Seasonal updates in Diablo 4 are a great way to stay glued to the game between expansions. While every season has its unique charm, Season of Witchcraft is shaping up to be one of the most extensive ones since the game’s release. This is particularly exciting as the conclusion of Season 6 marks the end of the game’s “Chapter 1,” and Season 7 gracefully ushers in “Chapter 2.”
The Season of Witchcraft kicks off at 10 a.m. PST on January 21. Players will embark on an adventure alongside the Witches of Hawezar to retrieve heads stolen from the Tree of Whispers. Working with these witches allows players to enhance their skills by embracing witchcraft abilities. Plus, there are the Occult Gems to discover and equip, unlocking abilities that veterans might find reminiscent of Diablo 3. These upgrades are crucial in the battles against the fearsome Headrotten Bosses, which offer rewarding loot, including the coveted Occult Gems upon their defeat.
Exciting tweaks are also part of Diablo 4 Season 7, particularly the long-awaited overhaul of the Diablo 4 armory for easier loadout management. Players can anticipate fresh seasonal rewards that include new Uniques and Legendaries, along with exciting offerings such as the Raven pet, obtainable through the Season Journey and a brand new Battle Pass.
For those with the Vessel of Hatred expansion, there’s a treasure trove of exclusive content, including three new Runes available only during Season 7. Blizzard has consistently maintained that certain seasonal features will be exclusive to expansion owners, suggesting more substantial content may be reserved for the future. To experience everything Diablo 4’s Season 7 has to offer, make sure to have the Vessel of Hatred expansion in your library.
As the calendar turns to 2025, fans can look forward to even more seasonal releases, capped off with another major expansion expected by fall. While the details of this upcoming content remain under wraps, it promises to keep the community engaged and intrigued as new stories and challenges await in the Diablo universe.
