While these are the expected release times for Diablo 4’s latest season, there’s always the chance technical difficulties could impact the rollout. We’ll update this post once the season is live or if Blizzard announces any changes to the schedule.

What to expect from Diablo 4 season 7

The top-line mechanic for Diablo 4 season 7 is the introduction of witchcraft powers. Via the seasonal questline, you can acquire magical abilities across three skill trees: offensive “Eldritch” magic, defensive “Psyche” magic, and offensive/defensive “Growth and Decay” magic. All good skills to master against the new Headrotten enemy type.

There are also a handful of welcome changes to loot and gear. The Armory feature will allow you to save up to five loadouts per character. Diablo 4 season 7 will additionally add eight new Uniques and eight new Legendary Affixes. And if you own the Vessel of Hatred expansion, you’ll have access to three new Runes.
