Summary

Blizzard has unveiled all the details about Diablo 4 Season 7, the Season of Witchcraft, which is slated to launch on January 21. Since its debut in 2023, Blizzard has consistently enriched Diablo 4 with regular updates, engaging seasonal content, and a significant expansion, with more expansions on the horizon for this beloved action-RPG.

The seasonal updates in Diablo 4 offer a compelling reason for players to remain immersed in the game between major expansions. While some seasons may shine brighter than others, the Season of Witchcraft appears set to be among the most impactful since the game's launch. This is largely due to Season 6 concluding "Chapter 1" of the game's storyline, with Season 7 heralding the beginning of "Chapter 2."

Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft will commence on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST. In this season, players will join forces with the Witches of Hawezar to pursue heads stolen from the Tree of Whispers. By delving into witchcraft powers with the Witches of Hawezar, players can enhance their abilities. Additionally, players can discover and equip Occult Gems, which unlock new abilities reminiscent of those from Diablo 3. These enhanced powers will be crucial when confronting the mutated Headrotten Bosses, which drop valuable rewards, including Occult Gems, upon defeat.

When is Diablo 4 Season 7?

  • Diablo 4 Season 7 starts on Tuesday, January 21 at 10am PST.

Season 7 will also bring notable quality-of-life enhancements. A significant upgrade to the Diablo 4 armory will allow players to save and switch between various loadouts seamlessly. Players can anticipate new seasonal rewards, including fresh Uniques and Legendaries, the chance to unlock the Raven pet by engaging in the Season Journey, and rewards from the new Battle Pass.

Owners of the Vessel of Hatred expansion will have an enriched experience during Season 7, gaining access to three new Runes. Blizzard has consistently highlighted that certain seasonal content would be exclusive to expansion owners, and these exclusive features might expand further in the future.
