The Diablo 4 DLC is set i꧃n a new (but familiar) location
The Diablo 4 DLC will add an entire new playable region named Nahantu, which has also been referred to as Toraja, Torajan, or the Torajan Jungles. This a wild jungle area that exists within Diablo lore in Sanctuary, to the south of Kehjistan, so it's likely that the Vessel of Hatred expansion will extend the existing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4 map into the currently inaccessible area to the southwest. This region previously featured in Act 3 of Diablo 2, so may already be familiar to long-standing players, though back then it was still considered part of Kehjistan rather than being a distinct zone. We have a guide for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:ho🔯w to start the Vessel of Hatred in Diabl꧒o 4 so 𒐪you can get to this fresh location as soon as possible.
T𒐪he Diablo 4 DLC introduces a completely new Class
The Diablo 4 DLC will introduce a fresh Class that is not only brand new for the current game, but has also never been seen before in the entire Diablo series. Confirming previously leaked files, we now know the new Class for Vessel of Hatred will be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4 Spiritborn, which is heavily linked to nature and will tie in well with the jungle setting for the expansion. It is likely that changes will also be made to the five existing Classes, though it isn't known if that will involve raising their level caps.

The Diablo 4 DLC storyline involves Mephisto
During the main campaign of Diablo 4, the Herald of Mephisto appears to players a number of times in the form of a Bloodied Wolf, guiding them to assist in defeating his daughter Lilith. By the end of the story, he is captured in a soulstone by Neyrellꦛe, and is last seen being transported by her on a ship, followed by the Bloodied 🅺Wolf.
The voice heard during the initial Diablo 4 DLC announcement trailer is that of Mephisto himself, who ominously says "We have each played a part in what has happened here. You abdicated your choice to this... child. And with every step she takes, I grow stronger. There will be no salvation in the Light." That suggests that Mephisto will ha🏅ve much more influence in the Vessel of Hatred expansion, and players may even end up battling with the Lord of Hatred himself.
The Diablo 4 DLC will introduce several gameplay chan🐬ges
Although we don't have the full details yet, there are several gameplay changes we know about that will be introduced with Vessel of Hatred. There will be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4 Mercenaries you can recruit to fight alongside you, bringing their own unique abilities to help in combat while growing more powerful the longer they're with you. For the first time in Diablo, there will be an end-game dungeon available featuring PvE co-operative gameplay, where you'll need to team up with other players to get through it together. Other updates will also be introduced across the whole game, including new Skills for existing Classes, additional 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Diablo 4 Paragon Boards, Legendary Glyphs to discoඣver, and fresh Dungeon types to explore.
