Jul 31, 2024 11:13 AM

Diablo 4's Season of the Infernal Hordes is set to launch on August 6, marking the beginning of Season 5. This new season introduces various features such as a horde mode-style co-op activity named Infernal Hordes, new questlines, a new type of dungeon called Hellbreach Dungeons, and over 50 new Legendary and Unique items.

Highlights of Season 5 include the wave-based Infernal Hordes activity that takes place in Hell’s Realm of Hatred, where players face waves of demons and battle the corrupted Fell Council. The endgame content in World Tier 3 also allows players to collect Burning Aether, which can be exchanged for Spoils of Hell filled with valuable rewards. Plus, Hellbreach Dungeons offer a condensed version of this experience.

The developer update livestream on August 1 is expected to reveal changes based on player feedback from the PTR and provide further insights into the new season.

What is the release date for Diablo 4's Season 5?

Diablo 4's Season 5, known as Season of the Infernal Hordes, is set to begin on August 6, 2024.

Diablo IV, developed by Blizzard Entertainment, continues the action RPG legacy with its dark fantasy setting. Maintaining its signature hack-and-slash combat style, it has expanded its seasonal updates, starting with Season 4 and now moving into Season 5, to keep its community engaged through new activities and content.
