With the new Diablo 4 season just a few days away from launch, Blizzard is holding a developer livestream to talk through the imminent changes. Diablo 4 Season of the Construct has a January 23 release date on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC. It will add lots of new gameplay features, not to mention quality of life changes, enemies, bosses and rewards. If you want to find out what’s changing and why, then watch the Blizzard developer livestream at 5pm GMT UK time on the afternoon of January 18. Express Online will add the video to this article once it goes live, so keep checking back for the latest updates and information about Season of the Construct.
Of course, Blizzard has already given fans a taste of what to expect thanks to a recent trailer and Diablo 4 blog.
According to the Diablo 4 studio, Season of the Construct revolves around an ancient technology known as the Loom, which has been taken by the Demon Malphas.
Blizzard explains more: “In this all-new quest line, team up with Zoltun’s former companion, Ayuzhan, to defeat Malphas and his deadly constructs.
“Visit the Gatehall, a new town centre underneath Kehjistan, which will serve as your base of operations in the fight against the Constructs.
“You will acquire your very own Seneschal Companion during the Seasonal Questline which will fight by your side and can be customised to fit your playstyle.”
Players will be able to augment the Seneschal by using magical Governing and Tuning Stones recovered from Vaults. This will change the attacks and abilities the Seneschal can perform.
Speaking of Vaults, Blizzard describes them as deadly new dungeons full of new monsters and various elemental Hazards. You can even explore Nightmare Vaults by reaching World Level III.
Outside of new quests, monsters and powers, players will also be able to explore The Gauntlet.
The Gauntlet is a weekly rotating fixed dungeon where players can compete for the top spot on the leaderboard.
If you do manage to top the leaderboard on any given week, then you’ll earn a spot in the Hall of the Ancients.
In terms of quality of life improvements, Helltides will remain permanently active barring a 5-minute rest period every hour, while PC users will be able to move around Sanctuary using the W-A-S-D keys on the keyboard.
Blizzard is also giving players an extra Stash Tab, all the while improving skill tree reallocation, the user-interface and much more.
