Diablo 4 Season 7 Release Time by Time Zone
The excitement begins on Tuesday, January 21 at 1 p.m. EST. Make sure you know when that is in your region, so you don’t miss a moment. Of course, as with any game update, unexpected technical hiccups could delay things a bit. We’ll keep you updated on any schedule changes or once the new season is officially live.
What’s New in Diablo 4 Season 7
Central to Season 7 is the intriguing addition of witchcraft powers. Through an engaging seasonal questline, players will gain magical abilities that can be applied across three distinct skill trees: the aggressive "Eldritch" magic, the protective "Psyche" magic, and the versatile "Growth and Decay" magic, which offers both offensive and defensive perks. These skills promise to be essential in battles against the newly introduced Headrotten enemy.
The season also brings some exciting updates to loot and gear. The Armory feature is a game-changer, letting you save up to five different loadouts per character. On top of that, prepare for the introduction of eight new Uniques and eight fresh Legendary Affixes. If you have the Vessel of Hatred expansion, three additional Runes will be at your disposal.
