Ahead of the launch of Vessel of Hatred in October, Blizzard has launched a new season for the Xbox, PC and Game Pass title Diablo 4.

In case you missed it, it's officially titled 'Season of the Infernal Hordes', and comes with new features, new powers, a new questline and new micro-dungeons. Here's the full rundown (via Blizzard's website):

Face the Infernal Hordes - "Slaughter an outpouring of Demons in the new permanent Infernal Hordes activity in both Seasonal and Eternal Realms solo or with friends. Risk harder battles for bigger rewards of gold, materials, and loot as you take down waves of demons on your way to battle the Fell Council."

50+ new uniques & Legendaries - "Purse hellish power with a massive drop of magnificent loot. Seek out over 50 brand-new Uniques and Legendaries that will be permanent additions to Diablo IV."

New Questline - "A turn of events brings surprising news of betrayal and a call for help. What fate could unfold that would lead one of Lilith’s followers to now look to you? Could this signal the end is truly near?"

Hellbreaches - "Explore these new Micro-Dungeons to get a taste for the torments that await in the Infernal Hordes."

If you would like a more detailed breakdown, Blizzard has published the full PC patch notes for this latest update.
