Diablo 4's first expansion is a Diablo 2 throwback coming 'late 2024' and featuring 'a brand new class never seen before in the Diablo universe'

At BlizzCon 2023, the Diablo 4 team took to the stage to announce Vessel of Hatred, the live service action RPG's first expansion. Vessel of Hatred's announcement was accompanied by a pre-rendered trailer previewing a new take on Diablo 2's jungles of Torajan and narrated by legacy baddie, Mephisto.

There's not a ton to go on from the trailer itself, just a quick fly-through of some jungle ending with a panoramic shot of the sort of Maya-influenced stepped pyramids that marked Diablo 2's city of Kurast. Mephisto's narration is suitably ominous and threatening, but not particularly illuminating. He says archdevil stuff like "There will be no salvation in the light." That's cool man, it'd be weird if you were like "the light can beat me, why should I even bother."
