Diablo IV – Season 8: Belial's Return

Belial's motive is unknown, but his return has unleashed mysterious Apparition Monsters into Sanctuary. The residents of the land won't take Belial's intrusion laying down. Some have taken it upon themselves to investigate these monsters. Meet Sayeena, a retired Vizjerei mage, and Jarius, who claims to be a Cathedral of Light knight. While initially wary of each other, Sayeena and Jarius are dedicated to snuffing out the source of these monsters. You must all band together to unravel Belial's ploy. Together, you'll pursue the truth and gain immeasurable power along the way through new Boss Powers. Sanctuary's fate is in the hands of your trio—failure is not an option.

  • Questline: Belial, Lord of Lies, has returned to warp reality to his will. Pursue the truth with the Lord of Lies quest. Daring wanderers can clash with the Exalted Lair Boss, Belial, and others in the new Lair Boss rework.
  • New Events: Apparition Incursion events plague Sanctuary thanks to Belial's Return in an open-world, multiplayer boss rush style. Defeat these targeted waves of enemies for better rewards.
  • New Boss Powers: Become your own boss with 24 powers available and 48 main and modifier combinations! Earn Spectral Ash from Apparition Legion Events to upgrade your owned powers.
  • New Reliquary System: The Battle Pass is getting a major overhaul: the new Reliquary System provides multiple routes and rewards to increase player choice and create a more customizable and chaseable rewards experience.
  • Diablo IV's first collaboration – BERSERK: In Diablo IV's first external collab, running from May 6 until the end of Season 8, players can don the most iconic looks from the classic manga to slay demons in the most badass Diablo fashion yet.
