Diablo 4 Season 7 patch notes: Witch powers, Armory & Battlepass cosmetics
Diablo 4 Season 7 will be coming early in 2025 and Blizzard has lifted the veil on all the official information.
Following theVessel of Hatredexpansion and Season 6, Diablo 4 Season 7 will be the first season to be released post-DLC, meaning it will be different from what’s come before. Season 7 likely won’t be quite so tied to Vessel of Hatred as Season 6 was, but expect it toconnect to both the expansion and the base game.
While Season 6 introduced Diablo players to the rather coolRealmwalkersmechanic, it mostly relied on Vessel of Hatred and the new Nahantu region for the bulk of its content. This time, we suspectthe hunt for Mephistowill truly begin in Season 7.
Diablo 4 Season 7 release date
Diablo 4 Season 7 startsJanuary 21, 2025.
Blizzard revealed the date in thepatch notes, released two days ahead of the officialcampfire chaton January 16. That said, because the Season 6 battle pass ends on that same date, we had already suspected Diablo 4’s seventh season would kick off around that date.
