[TGA 2025] Next ‘Diablo IV’ Expansion in “Lord of Hatred” Arrives April 26 [Trailer]

Blizzard Entertainment has unveiled the newest expansion for its action RPG Diablo IV next year with “Lord of Hatred”, which not only sees the return of the eponymous Mephisto aka The Lord of Hatred, but also the return of Diablo IV antagonist Lilith and the much-requested Paladin class and an as-yet-unannounced second character class. Players who pre-purchase Lord of Hatred grants them immediate access to the Paladin.

In the aftermath of “Vessel of Hatred”, this next chapter drives players toward their final stand against Mephisto, whose deception and spreading influence threaten to twist Sanctuary into a world consumed by malice. As Hell’s legions surge and the ancient Pools of Creation draw Mephisto ever closer, the fate of humanity hangs by a thread. To stop him, the Wanderer must embrace an old foe long believed to be dead. Lilith returns, her prophetic last words echoing true, forcing a perilous alliance bound by necessity rather than trust. With time and allies running out, the Wanderer is in a desperate race to stop Mephisto before hatred reshapes the world forever.

The Paladin rises as the realm darkens, wielding hammer, shield, and Holy Light to smite Mephisto’s demon army with righteous fury. Through melee combat and divine abilities, the Paladin empowers players to strike with both unwavering faith and overwhelming force.

The expansion will also introduce reworked Skill Trees that will include new class-specific variants and expanded level caps. There’s will also be a new Loot Filter system to help you organize your potential pickups. If that’s not enough, the expansion will also see enhanced crafting with the return of the Horadric Cube.
