Blizzard is set to release Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, at the tail-end of next year with an entirely new class. Despite the company's refusal to divulge more information, some dedicated dataminers may have uncovered the name of the upcoming class.
Fans of the game should not expect familiar classes like the Paladin or the Witch Doctor in the Vessel of Hatred expansion. Instead, they will be looking forward to an entirely new class never before seen in the Diablo franchise.
The Vessel of Hatred will not be out until late next year. However, players can turn their attention to Season 3, which will launch sometime in January 2024 when "Season of the Blood" concludes.
There is a reason to be excited for Season 3 because players can engage with a new mechanic called "The Gauntlet." Essentially, it is similar to Diablo III's Challenge Rifts where players enter a dungeon using a pre-made character, with the goal of destroying all enemies within the area as fast as possible. The Gauntlet is a great new way for more competitive players to enjoy Diablo 4.
So, what can you say about the information that dataminers have gathered? Are you excited for The Gauntlet once Season 3 launches in January?
