Blizzard is getting ready to introduce a scarier version of The Butcher in Diablo 4’s upcoming Season 5, set to launch in early August. During a recent preview on the Public Test Realm from June 25 to July 2, players got a sneak peek at the new look of this classic enemy. Known as the Burning Butcher, this updated version has extra horns and a fiery, lava-like glow peeking through cracks in its skin, making it look more menacing and tougher to beat.
However, this isn’t the first time Diablo 4 has surprised its community with new iterations of familiar enemies. Previously, an unexpectedly large version of The Butcher appeared in the game, speculated to be the result of a dungeon modifier, adding an extra layer of terror and excitement to encounters.
As Blizzard continues to refine and adjust Season 5 based on player feedback from the PTR, the exact difficulty and impact of the Burning Butcher remain uncertain. With about a month until the official launch, players eagerly await the full experience, curious to see how this revamped foe will test their skills and strategies in the dark, treacherous world of Diablo 4.
