Two heroes stand at opposite extremes in the fight against Mephisto. Diablo IV offers a unique take on the Warlock, defined by its metal chains, flames, and destructive power that turn the wrath of Hell against itself.

  • Systems & Endgame Evolution: New endgame systems give players greater control over progression and challenge. War Plans introduces customizable activity paths that allow players to shape their endgame experience, while the rare Echoing Hatred encounters push builds to their limits through escalating waves of increasingly difficult enemies.
  • New Region of Skovos: The final showdown with Mephisto takes place in the ancient region of Skovos. New characters, quests, and monsters await players as they explore the ancient Mediterranean-inspired landscapes where humanity first emerged.
