Fans eagerly anticipating Diablo 4 can look forward to the game’s next instalment, Season of Hell’s Legacy, launching on 15th September. This new content coincides with the celebrations for the Diablo franchise’s 30th anniversary and the release of the Nintendo Switch 2.
Returning Faces and Fierce Battles
The newest season pays homage to Diablo’s 30-year legacy, spotlighting the return of beloved character Deckard Cain.
