Diablo 4 devs confirm shortened Season 5 will pave the way for DLC and Season 6 Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 developers have confirmed that Season 6 is planned to launch in conjunction with the Vessel of Hatred expansion. This means a shorter run time for the upcoming Season 5. Diablo 4 Season 4 has been the most eventful content update in the game\u2019s relatively short lifespan. The plethora of changes introduced \u2014 such as more robust Helltides, deeper crafting mechanics, and improved inventory management \u2014 have fundamentally altered the game. It doesn\u2019t seem like Blizzard is done with these game-changing alterations, however. The implementation of the second-ever PTR to test features for Diablo 4 Season 5 hints that even more drastic improvements are on the way. Despite this revelation regarding Season 5, it appears that it will have a shorter run than its predecessors. Turns out, Diablo 4\u2019s Vessel of Hatred expansion is partially responsible for the speedy seasonal change. In an interview with Windows Central, Diablo 4 Game Manager Rod Fergusson shared plans for Diablo 4 Season 5 and 6. In doing so, he may have revealed more than he meant to. \u201cWe know what\u2019s coming in season 5 and we\u2019re really excited about what that\u2019s going to do,\u201d Fergusson said. \u201cAnd then season 6 is at the same time as the expansion and we\u2019ve got cool ideas for that too that we\u2019re currently playing and testing right now.\u201d With Diablo 4 Season 5 is set to launch on August 6 when Season 4 finally reaches its end. Season 6 and the Vessel of Hatred expansion are planned to go live on October 8. This means Season 5 will be significantly shorter than its predecessors. The team at Blizzard has previously stated that the aim is for seasons in Diablo 4 to run for approximately 12 weeks, but Season 5 will fall short at only nine weeks. Whether this will have any impact on Diablo 4 Season 5\u2019s suite of activities and rewards remains to be seen. A proper reveal is still a while off with the current focus being on the Vessel of Hatred expansion and a showcase of the new Spiritborn Class set for July 18.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
