Season 7 of Diablo IV is coming very soon and Blizzard wanted to make a big video on the new features expected for this new season. Good news for players, there will be a lot of them, and they can be discovered in a very fresh video with many details.
Diablo IV Season 7: a dark story of stolen heads
Someone has been stealing heads from the Whispering Tree, and it's up to players to find out who's behind it and what their goal is. This is the main pitch of this new story which will be available in Season 7 of Diablo IV.
The witches and wizards of Hawezar summon you! Unravel the mystery of the stolen heads and discover who is behind these misdeeds in an all-new series of quests, so you can access the secrets of witchcraft.
The good news is that stealing these heads will make many new features available which will bring more richness to the gameplay.
- New demons : Face the putrephales, abominable adversaries born from the influence of the stolen heads, to win the favor of the Cabal, develop your powers and earn rewards, such as a sublimated spark.
- New power : Harness a wide range of sinister, psyche, grow and wither powers to achieve unimaginable results. Discover and equip yourself with occult gems to increase these formidable powers tenfold.
- New whispers : The disappearance of its hostages plunges the tree into a mad rage. Follow his whispers during headhunts and try to bring back the heads. This season, the tree could reward you with an Ancestral Collection, which guarantees you will obtain at least one Ancestral item.
