Hello friends. This is a Let’s Play video of “Diablo IV – Lord of Hatred”. Join the fight for Sanctuary in Diablo® IV, the ultimate action RPG adventure. Experience the critically acclaimed campaign and new seasonal content.
Once upon a time in the summer of 2001, a teenage version of every Diablo lifer in the world was running Mephisto over and over in Hell difficulty with a Hammerdin and a worn copy of Lord of Destruction in the disc tray, and Blizzard knows exactly what nerve they are pinching with Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. The second major expansion to Diablo IV picks up directly from Vessel of Hatred, drops the Paladin and the Warlock onto the class roster, and sends players into the storm-battered Skovos Isles, the ancient homeland of the Amazons and former stomping ground of Lilith and Inarius, for a final reckoning with the Prime Evil himself. Patch 3.0.0 arrives in tandem and rewrites the rulebook for everyone, paid expansion or not: every class skill tree gets reworked with new variants, the level cap climbs to 70, a proper loot filter finally lands, the Horadric Cube returns, and a stack of endgame systems, War Plans, Talismans, Echoing Hatred, the Pit overhaul, and expanded Torment tiers, give returning players a meaningfully different game to log into. There is even fishing, because of course there is. Bundled with Vessel of Hatred and dropping alongside the Season of Reckoning on April 28, 2026, this is the kind of expansion that turns a part-time D4 player into a full-time D4 problem all over again.
