The new Vessel of Hatred expansion Diablo IV was just released, but that didn’t stop Blizzard from also releasing a new season of content to continue fine-tuning the details of your RPG of action.
And although one of the best missions of this season takes us through the new region of Nahantu, the rest of the content can also be enjoyed if you only own the base game.
What is this season about?
The Season of Rising Hate takes up the theme of Mephisto’s Hatred corrupting the Sanctuary and to stop the monstrous creatures being released by this aberration, you must help the Order of Zakarum.
As you progress with the season you can increase your reputation with this faction, to obtain exclusive rewards for the season.
In addition to dozens of new pieces of gear, quests, and fresh dungeons to explore, one of the big changes with this season has been the change in the maximum level of the characters, which goes from 100 to 60, with the benefit of the Board Paragon is released at this same level.
This is a great benefit for those who want to start specializing their build from an earlier stage and is perfect for seasonal characters.
The difficulty levels have also been reworked and instead of the “World Tiers”, we now have two Tiers with four difficulties each.
Normal, Hard, Expert and Penitent are the four traditional steps, with the last being accessible only to those who have reached level 50. After that come four steps of Torment, each more brutal than the last and reserved for the most expert .
Giant Enemies
And the best piece of content in the Season of Rising Hatred is the “Realmwalkers,” giant enemies that appear every 15 minutes in random locations around Sanctuary.
You must use all your tools to overcome the waves of enemies that conjure up and the beasts themselves, which when defeated, leave open the portal to the best dungeons of the season.
The Season of Rising Hate brings with it a lot of content, even for those who only complete the free Battle Pass path, and also restructures the progression and difficulty to make it more enjoyable for those who love returning to the game each season.
It is now available on all platforms where Diablo IV is found.
