Diablo IV Expansion Pack
Release Date: April 28, 2026
The second expansion for Blizzard Entertainment's hack-and-slash action RPG. Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred features two new character classes, led by the paladin, and introduces the ancient Greek-inspired land of Skovos.
In 2023, Blizzard Entertainment studio put into the hands of players an action RPG of the hack'n'slash type under the title Diablo IV. A year later the production lived to see the first story expansion, entitled Vessel of Hatred. In time, it was followed by the second extensive expansion, Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, described here.
The add-on introduces two new character classes. The first is the paladin, a specialist in combat using the hammer, shield and Holy Light, capable of both close combat and the use of magic.
The action of the described expansion takes place in the land of Skovos evoking associations with ancient Greece. This is the former homeland of Inarius and Lilith, now home to the Oracle and the Queen of Amazons. Here we can find both damp forests full of ruins and volcanic coastlines; there is also no shortage of cities and dungeons, where we face cultists and oceanic monsters, among others.
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred introduces extensive changes to the skill trees, led by new class variants and an increased maximum character level. In addition, a new loot filtering system has been prepared for the expansion, and crafting has been skewed, with the introduction of the Horadrim Cube and a talisman that unlocks special bonuses.
Finally, the developers leaned into the endgame phase . Within the so-called War Plans, players can create their own challenges based on activities of their choice and self-imposed modifiers.
In addition, the Echoing Hatred, which is the ultimate test of our skills, awaits to be tested, in which we can fight hordes of demons. A moment of respite, on the other hand, is provided by the opportunity to fish in the waters of the sanctuary.
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred introduces a new story line, in which we must team up with the returning Lilith to form a tentative alliance against Mephisto. All this to prevent the latter from warping Sanctuary into a world overrun by hatred.
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is a non-self-contained add-on, so it requires the basic version of the Diablo IV game.
