Diablo 4 has recently released an infographic detailing the exciting features that will be introduced in Season 9, titled “Sins of the Horadrim.” This new season is set to begin on July 1 and marks the third segment of the 2025 roadmap unveiled earlier in April. This roadmap offers fans a glimpse into what they can anticipate as the game continues to evolve in its second year.
Season 8 of Diablo 4, which commenced on April 29, brought several intriguing enhancements to the gameplay. Notably, it included a collaboration with the iconic manga Berserk by Kentaro Miura, which significantly enriched the content. Another highlight was the reappearance of Belial, known as the Lord of Lies, who was introduced as a new boss, capturing the attention of players eager for fresh challenges.
To further empower their character builds, players gained access to boss powers, making gameplay even more dynamic. With the conclusion of Season 8, players are now looking forward to the upcoming season. In addition to the new questline involving the discovery and cleansing of relics tainted by Astaroth’s blood, Season 9 will feature a mechanic called Horadric Spellcraft, introducing spells such as Corrosive Vapor and Glacial Nimbus.
Players will also be able to use Horadric Jewels to gain unique bonuses. The hellhound named Dante will serve as the seasonal pet, while rewards from the Reliquary will include a hellish goat. Season 9 will introduce significant changes to the Nightmare Dungeon experience through Nightmare Dungeon Affixes, Horadric Strongrooms, and a new gameplay activity called Escalating Nightmares.
Here, players can face the formidable Exalted Astaroth, with the potential for modified affix-based challenges enhancing combat difficulty. Anticipation is also high as Diablo 4 will add six new Uniques for players to discover, along with improved keyboard and mouse support for console users. The duration of Season 9 remains tentative, but it is expected to run from July through September, followed by Season 10, titled “Infernal Chaos,” which is set to span from September to December.
While specifics about Season 10 are still unfolding, the roadmap indicates exciting new features and collaborations are on the horizon.
