Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred ushers in a new era for the game, introducing players to the Spiritborn class. This is a brand-new class for the Diablo franchise and is one of many changes included in the new expansion. Vessel of Hatred will also include new monsters, dungeons, and strongholds to conquer, as well as new storylines featuring highly detailed cutscenes, something that has become a staple within newer Diablo titles. More information about the new Nahantu region in Diablo 4 will be released on July 18, as well as a first look at gameplay with the Spiritborn class.

Excitement has remained high for Diablo 4 since it was first released, with the game undoubtedly receiving a bump in popularity due to it being available on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service. This monthly subscription service constantly expands its library, allowing subscribers to try out a wide variety of games, ranging from AAA titles to smaller indie games. Diablo 4 was the first Diablo game to be offered on Xbox Game Pass as a result of Microsoft's multi-billion dollar acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023. Players will still need to purchase the Vessel of Hatred DLC for Diablo 4, but the base game can be enjoyed at any time by subscribers.
