Diablo 4 developer Blizzard has revealed more about Season 7 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Titled Season of Witchcraft, Diablo 4 Season 7 has a January 21 release date and 6pm GMT UK launch time.
The new season introduces a new Questline centred around a coven of witches and their powers.
“Heed the call of the Witches of Hawezar, a Coven that is bound by the deep magic oozing from the swamps they call home,” reads the official description.
“The Coven are the protectors of the Tree of Whispers, who discovered its many captive Heads are missing.
“The Tree forgets no oaths and forgives no debts, and these Heads have dues to pay till the end of days.
“However, these missing Heads have been set loose—free to carry out their own hunt—travelling across Sanctuary to seek bodies and reclaim what was once theirs.”
As part of the questline, players will need to hunt for the Heads, which means contending with the grotesque HeadRotten enemies.
By completing Whisper bounties you’ll progress through the Coven’s Tiers and earn rewards such as a Resplendent Spark.
“You’ll also earn the Materials needed to craft Occult Gems, which provide disturbingly powerful enhancements to your Witchcraft Powers,” Blizzard continues.
Speaking of Witchcraft Powers, players can harness 25 powers across different schools of Witchcraft. This includes Eldritch powers such as unleashing swarms of Firebats, as well as Psyche powers including Vengeful Spirit. That’s on top of Growth and Decay powers and Lost powers.
In terms of unlockables, the Season Journey will ultimately reward players with Dorian the Raven as a Pet to use in-game.
Needless to say, Blizzard will also upgrade the game with new features and quality of life updates, including the Welcome Back Booster, Class Quest update and Greater Affix update.
Elsewhere, The Armory is here to stay, giving players the ability to save and swap builds.
Blizzard continues: “The Armory is a brand-new feature which gives you the option to Save, Load, and Name your favourite builds and the option to select those builds to change your Characters current loadout.
“The buttons to select each will are named after their function. The Armory is Character bound; you’ll have 5 Loadout slots per character.”
