Blizzard has dropped the curtain enshrouding Diablo IV’s next season today: It’s called Season of the Construct, and it adds not only new lore-drenched content but a new dungeon type dubbed vaults.
“Ancient forces threaten Sanctuary,” the studio warns. “Aided by your Seneschal Companion, hazard the many traps and devastating Constructs beneath the deserts of Kehjistan. Deep beneath the swirling sands, elemental forces are amassing for malicious whims of the demon Malphas. Only by descending far below the surface will you be able to cull this cursed threat from its root. Season of the Construct begins on January 23 at 10 a.m. PST. Prepare to uncover the powerful secrets of Zoltun Kulle’s Loom with a new Dungeon type called Vaults, a seasonal robotic Seneschal Companion, and Weekly Leaderboards in The Gauntlet.”
The team is also introducing quality-of-life perks, including an extra stash tab, WASD movement, trading improvements, and more. “Starting in Season of the Construct, Helltides are always active, save for a 5-minute rest once per hour,” Blizz notes. “Battle Hellspawn far more frequently, increasing your chances to collect Cinders and the bountiful rewards that come with them.”
Patch notes are expected on January 19th, but players can watch the teaser video right now.
