Blizzard shared the first roadmap for Diablo 4 today. They say that "The Age of Hatred continues in 2025" and the roadmap shared certainly seems to indicate a rather packed year of upcoming content.
The roadmap shows off what fans can expect every three to four months in 2025. For instance, from April to July there is Belial's Return. This period will bestow boss powers onto the player. There will be new quests and a reputation board. There will be the new Apparition Incursion activity running for this period of time. There will also be a new feline pet to earn, a new collaboration, and a celebration of two-years of Diablo 4.
There will also be several permanent additions added within each season. Some of these permanent additions include new lair bosses, new Nightmare Dungeon activities, keyboard and mouse support on consoles, and more.
Later in 2025 we will see the Sins of the Horadrim and then the Infernal Chaos seasons. Those seasons will round out the year. Blizzard also teases a little of what to expect in 2026, which will include a new expansion release, new ranking system, leaderboards, and more.
The fires of the Burning Hells grow with vigor this year! In addition to new Seasonal content and permanent game additions, you’ll see on the Roadmap that we are bringing 2 IP collaborations into Diablo IV this year. We can’t shed light on them currently, but we’re extremely excited to meld the Diablo universe with universes that complement its dark themes. Here’s a deeper look at a handful of features arriving in 2025.
- Belial’s Return: Belial, Lord of Lies has returned to warp reality to his will. Daring wanderers can clash with Belial and 2 bosses from Vessel of Hatred as part of the updated Lair Boss system.
- Sins of the Horadrim: We return to Nightmare Dungeons with new activities and interactions that let you progress the dungeon’s intensity as you hunt down the barons of Hell.
- Infernal Chaos: Infernal Horde Updates – Infernal Horde is becoming more chaotic as we put new choices into your hands. Plus, advanced options between Infernal Waves will arrive, too.
- Quality of Life Updates: Beyond seasonal updates, there are other permanent additions coming to Diablo IV.
- The frequently requested feature, keyboard and mouse support for consoles, will give you more control over how you experience Sanctuary once it arrives.
- Core system updates are coming to both the Battle Pass and Seasonal Journey, ensuring these features evolve in ways that are more rewarding.
