Overview
- The Warlock arrives with Lord of Hatred on April 28, alongside the Paladin, a new region, a 10‑level cap increase, the Horadric Cube, Talismans, and charm sets.
- Warlock gameplay centers on Wrath for spells and Dominance for demon summons, with four Soul Shards—Legion, Vanguard, Mastermind, Ritualist—defining distinct playstyles.
- Season of Slaughter starts March 11 and lets players become the Butcher via Shrines of Slaughter in Helltides, the Ceremony of Slaughter in Fields of Hatred, or Slaughterhouses.
- The season adds a five‑tier Killstreak system that grants experience and Seasonal Reputation, while new Bloodied items scale their affixes based on the tier reached.
- A Paladin free trial runs March 11–18 up to level 25 on all platforms, and developers say they will monitor Warlock resource flow, fragment scaling, and pet AI after launch.
