Diablo IV is Blizzard's open-world action RPG, released on 5 June 2023 for PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows. It is set in a shared world with a seasonal content model: seasons began in July 2023 and last about three months each.
The game has eight classes: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue and Sorcerer at launch, Spiritborn (added with Vessel of Hatred, 8 October 2024) and Paladin and Warlock (added with Lord of Hatred, 28 April 2026). Vessel of Hatred is set in the jungle region of Nahantu; Lord of Hatred adds the Skovos Isles. The base-game campaign centres on Lilith, and Vessel of Hatred picks up right after her defeat, with Mephisto as its focus.
The world's regions are Fractured Peaks, Scosglen, Dry Steppes, Kehjistan, Hawezar, Nahantu and Skovos. Critics scored the game 86 on PC and PS5 and 91 on Xbox Series X|S (Metacritic).
