In the year and a half since its release, Diablo 4 has already reinvented itself a few times, through the Vessel of Hatred expansion and through frequently changing seasons that add new mechanics. For the upcoming Season 7, Diablo 4 is taking some of its biggest swings to date, remixing the abilities of a Diablo 3 character class players want to see return and giving them to everyone.
Dubbed the Season of Witchcraft, Season 7 has players searching all around the world of Sanctuary for decapitated heads to return them to the tree that owns them. Yes, I know how strange that sounds, but that’s just how Diablo 4 works. The season’s storyline focuses on the Tree of Whispers, an ancient entity that’s central to endgame progression, and just so happens to be a giant tree covered in stolen heads. As the Season begins, some of those heads have gone missing and they’re causing all sorts of trouble around Sanctuary, even without bodies.
