The latest season of Diablo 4, known as Season 5 or the Season of the Infernal Hordes, has been released with a range of new content and features. This season introduces fresh seasonal story quests and a new activity called the Infernal Hordes, which is inspired by Vampire Survivors.
In this mode, players must survive against continuous waves of monsters, collecting loot and gold. Successfully enduring these waves and defeating enemies will allow players to gather Aether, which can be used to open chests with additional materials and rewards.
Participating in the new seasonal activity and completing quests will grant players battle pass XP. The Diablo 4 battle pass consists of 90 tiers of rewards, with approximately one-third available for free and the remainder locked behind the premium pass.
The standard premium battle pass costs around $10 and includes exclusive items like the Awoken Archenemy Armor Sets and the Awoken Aetheric Steed Mount. There is also an accelerated version of the battle pass, priced at approximately $25, which unlocks the first 20 tiers immediately.
Season 5 also introduces gameplay adjustments to improve the player experience. The game has increased XP gain in the early levels, helping players progress to the late-game more swiftly. Additionally, Uber Uniques have been rebranded as Mythic Uniques and now appear in a distinct purple color when they drop, making them easier to identify.
Diablo 4’s Season 5 aims to enhance the player experience with its new content and features while making gameplay adjustments to streamline progression and reward collection.
