Diablo IV Season 5 Will Launch On Test Servers This Tuesday

Blizzard Entertainment gave new insights into Season 5 of Diablo IV this week, as the season will arrive in the test server on Tuesday.

Blizzard Entertainment revealed new details about Season 5 of Diablo IV, as it will be launched onto the PTR on Tuesday. The team held a Campfire Chat livestream, which you can check out above, in which multiple devs went over what's to come for the test, happening from June 25 until July 2. You'll be encountering an all-new quest line, receive several quality-of-life updates, encounter new grave enemies that will put you to the test, and a lot more to come. We have some of the notes following the event from their recent blog for you here, going over what you have in store.

Diablo IV – Season 5

Diablo IV – Season 5 features a new story where enemies are cut-down, alliances shift, and unlikely friends emerge from the shadows. The PTR features a new Questline that takes place after the events of the Main Questline and is available on both Seasonal and Eternal Realms, and will remain on the Eternal realm once Season 5 has concluded.bHead to Hawezar in World Tier III and investigate a disturbance amongst the cityfolk there. Completing this Questline will allow you to battle the Infernal Hordes, the new gameplay activity coming with Season 5. Note that you only have to complete this Quest once across your Account.

Slay The Infernal Hordes

Helltides were only the beginning of the horrors lying in wait. Confront seemingly endless waves of Hell's Legions in the Realm of Hatred, as the Infernal Hordes grow more powerful with each passing day.

• The Infernal Hordes is an activity where you slay hordes while earning Burning Aether to unlock powerful weapons and rewards. Successfully slay the Hordes and you'll be able to fight the powerful Fell Council.
• Enter the Realm of Hatred by using an Infernal Compass
  • Hell Compasses can be found by defeating Endgame Bosses, Helltides, Nightmare Dungeons, and Whispers.
  • A Hell Compass will be granted to you upon completing the newest Eternal quest.

Infernal Hordes

• Infernal Hordes have time-limited waves, lasting 90 seconds each.
• Collect Burning Aether during a wave to spend at the end of a successful Infernal run.
• At the end of the 90 seconds, kill the remaining enemies and decide between three Infernal Offers. Once selected, the next wave will begin.
• Successfully slay all waves in the Tier you are attempting to advance to the Well of Hatred, then battle the Fell Council. Upon defeating the Fell Council, spend your Burning Aether on Spoils of Hell.

Batt Fell Priests

• If you manage to survive the Infernal Hordes, the Fell Council await. Originally meant to protect us from the Prime Evil Mephisto during the events in Diablo II, these noble priests were corrupted and became Champions of the very demon they swore to oppose.
• There are 5 Fell Council Members in total, each equipped with different unique abilities. Every time you face the Fell Council, there will be 3 different members to fight you – each three will be selected to fight you at random. Be wary of their unique abilities in the various combinations you'll encounter them.
• Once you inflict enough damage on the Fell Council, the Priests will become more frenzied in their attacks. Stay on your guard if you wish to live.
• Upon defeating the Fell Council, you can spend your Burning Aether on the Spoils of Hell.

New Weapons & Items

The forges in the Burning Hells burn the fiercest, leading to incredible possibilities for the weapons they produce.

• • Season 5 introduces new Legendaries, Uniques, and items.
  • These new Legendaries and Uniques can be earned by slaying enemies across Sanctuary, but have the best chance of appearing when playing the Infernal Hordes.
