A major update for Diablo 4 has been revealed, confirming three significant changes that will shape its future. During The Game Awards event, it was shown that there will be a Paladin class, an additional brand-new class, and that the Horadric Cube will be back. A cinematic trailer introduced these changes and marks the beginning of a new chapter of Sanctuary, as it has been described by Blizzard.
Diablo 4 New Expansion Details
It has been confirmed that a new class will be introduced as a result of the Lord of Hatred drop, and it will arrive on April 28, 2026. Also, the Horadric Cube will return as part of an updated crafting system, as well as some very much-needed loot filters.
This latest drop marks the end of the Age of Hatred storyline, and this is when we will encounter Mephisto on the ancient lands of Scosglen. End-game content, an increased level cap, and some very unexpected gameplay experiences, including fishing, will round out what promises to be an ambitious expansion for Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 What We Know About Paladin
The Paladin will be the most coveted update coming with the new season and expansion in Diablo 4. Players who pre-order Lord of Hatred will be able to play as this character class as soon as Diablo 4 Season 11 Divine Intervention goes live.
✏️ Classic abilities such as Auras, Blessed Hammer, Zeal, Condemnation, and Heaven’s Fury are back.
A new system of Oaths establishes playstyles for Paladins. These oaths offer recognition and reward dedication to particular roles, ranging from defensive shield-wielding brawlers and aggressive Zeal-centric character builds to magical holy casters. A particular option enables the Paladin to take an angelic form, and for a brief moment, he will turn into a flying embodiment of judgment.
