Blizzard has revealed full details for Diablo 4 Season 7: Season of Witchcraft, launching January 21. Since its 2023 debut, Diablo 4 has received consistent updates, seasonal content, and a major expansion, with more planned for this acclaimed action RPG.
Diablo 4's seasonal updates provide compelling reasons for players to stay engaged between expansions. While some seasons stand out more than others, Season of Witchcraft marks a significant milestone as it transitions the game from concluding "Chapter 1" to introducing "Chapter 2" of content.
Beginning January 21 at 10 AM PST, Season of Witchcraft partners players with Hawezar's Witches to recover stolen heads from the Tree of Whispers. By mastering witchcraft techniques, players can enhance their abilities with Occult Gems - some featuring nostalgic callbacks to Diablo 3. These new powers prove essential against mutated Headrotten Bosses that drop valuable loot when defeated.
