During the recent Diablo 4 PTR Campfire chat livestream, Blizzard announced that the upcoming Season 5 PTR will be available to PC Battle.net users starting Tuesday, June 25, and will run for one week. Diablo 4 Season 5 itself is set to begin on August 6 and will conclude when the Vessel of Hatred goes live on October 8. At the heart of the new content coming to Season 5 PTR is the endgame mode Infernal Hordes, a roguelite experience where players face waves of enemies and select new powers between each wave. This mode will introduce a formidable new boss encounter, requiring players to defeat three of the five resurrected members of the Fel Council.

Season 5 will also introduce over 50 new Unique and Legendary items, many of which can be target-farmed through Infernal Hordes. Notable new items include the Basilisk for Druids, the Mortacrux for Necromancers, the Third Blade for Barbarians, the Umbacrux for Rogues, and Vox Omnium for Sorcerers. These additions are designed to expand Diablo 4's legendary and unique items and provide players with more powerful tools.

In addition, Unique items will feature higher upper limits to their rolls and greater variability in their rolls. Class updates are another highlight of Season 5, with each Diablo 4 class receiving specific buffs and adjustments to enhance their abilities. Barbarians will receive a new Unique support item, Rogues will see several buffs to the Flurry skill, Druids will get enhancements to their Companions, Sorcerers will gain a Unique that buffs their Chain Lightning ability, and Necromancers will receive additional abilities for their minions, including a Golem Body Slam.

Quality-of-life improvements are also being implemented. Players will no longer need to create a Sigil to summon the Beast in Ice, which will now have its own dedicated boss room. Bosses will be re-summonable from their boss room without resetting the entire dungeon, and Varshan's summon materials will be condensed into a single item. Season 5, with its new endgame mode and extensive updates, is set to further enrich the gameplay experience for Diablo 4 fans.
