Today, Blizzard Entertainment shared that Diablo 4: Belial's Return will begin on April 29. This marks the start of Season 8 for Blizzard's ARPG, and a return to focus on the Lord of Lies himself.
While Belial will be the main focus for the new season, it will also introduce plenty of other content to look forward to. There will be new allies to join forces with, the ability to make use of Boss Powers, and word is there are Apparition Monsters that will need to be banished "on the quest for truth."
Season 8 will also include Diablo 4's first external collaboration. From May 6 through the end of Season 8, players will be able to pick up "iconic looks" from the Berserk manga.
