If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to return to Diablo 4, keep your ears open… A new game mode will arrive as part of Season 5 and there will be plenty of monsters to kill!
The months go by and it’s now been more than a year since Diablo 4 arrived on PC and consoles… Now, Blizzard’s hack’n’slash (which has arrived on Game Pass in the meantime) is preparing to launch its Season 5. Alongside new quests after the main quest, players will have access to a new rogue-lite mode, called “Infernal Hordes”. A mode which was detailed just a few days ago by the studio teams, in a article blog as well as in a “Campfire” video.

The waves of the Styx
In these famous Infernal Hordes, the player will have to face several waves of enemies lasting 90 seconds each. At the end of each confrontation, you will have to choose from three Infernal Offers, advantages which will modify your run. On its blog, Blizzard cites for example a bonus which is used to increase the damage of Elite enemies and recover more Burning Ether – the new currency of this Season 5… This allows, when an Infernal Horde is finished, to select the one of four rewards: loot of equipment or superior equipment, materials or gold.

For the bravest
Obviously, Infernal Hordes is shaping up to be a pretty big endgame challenge, but for those looking for even more challenge, it will be possible to increase the difficulty of this rogue-lite mode. To do this, the player will have to call on an Infernal Compass (to be looted from an end-of-game boss or by completing the new Season 5 quest) as well as a new type of parchment, called “abyssal”. There are a total of 8 compass levels, gradually increasing the number of waves from 5 to 10! Of course, in this advanced configuration, the enemies are tougher and the final loot is of better quality. As a reminder, Season 5 of Diablo 4 will be available on August 6 for everyone. If you’re in a hurry, from June 25 to July 2, you can try it all out via the “PTR” test servers, accessible from a Battle.net account on PC.
