Diablo 4 is starting its year with a bang, as Blizzard has officially announced that Diablo 4 Season 7, aka, Season of Witchcraft, is arriving in less than a week. Blizzard has given an in-depth look at the upcoming season with a developer overview.

Alongside that, we have a short summary of what to expect as well.

New Witch Powers Are Coming to Diablo 4 Next Week

In a lengthy blog post, Blizzard detailed every big content drop and significant changes set to arrive with Season 7 of Diablo 4. Some of the highlights included a new seasonal questline, new witchcraft powers, new runes, armory updates, and so much more. They go over some of the key highlights of the update in the video above, along with providing a detailed image overview which you can view below.

  • WITCHCRAFT: From the teachings of the Witches of Howezar, players can channel the power of the Swamp. Explore three different schools of Witchcraft Powers to find the ability combination that suits your playstyle, whether you seek supernatural strength, are a practitioner of connected mind and spirit, or wish to balance healing and harming skills. By finding and equipping the new Seasonal Legendary Gems, Occult Gems, you can harness devastating and iconic abilities, some of which harken back to Diablo III.
  • HEADROTTEN BOSSES: Cut from the Tree of Whispers, the Stolen Heads have mutated into ghastly abominations, desperate to become whole and human again. New Headrotten Bosses and enemies await as you follow the Whispers of the Dead. By completing the new endgame Headhunts, players can hunt down Headrotten and claim their heads in exchange for Occult Gems. If you’re lucky, you might find a “Headed” Headrotten Boss, a rare boss variant that grants even more valuable rewards.
  • ARMORY: The long awaited new armory feature allows players to quickly save and swap complete character loadouts. Save and overwrite different builds for your heroes as you please; all Gear, Skill Points, and Paragon Points will be automatically applied when swapping.
  • SEASONAL REWARDS: Season of Witchcraft adds additional Uniques and Legendaries to the loot pool. Vessel of Hatred players can also experience three new Runes and many updates to existing Runes. Those who seek more drops can ascend tiers of the Coven’s Favor, earn rewards like a Raven Pet via the Season Journey, or progress through the Battle Pass.

Again, their blog post details a lot more than this, and I highly recommend visiting it for a more in-depth breakdown. Otherwise, what you see above is too long and didn’t read version of it.

Diablo 4 Season 7: Season of Witchcraft officially kicks off January 21 on all major platforms. Once the patch is live, we’ll be sure to let our readers kow.
