Diablo 4’s Age of Hatred Could Endure Beyond Its Intended Time

Sure thing, diving into the madness.

—

Oh man, where to even start with Diablo 4’s whole “Age of Hatred”? Seriously, ever since they threw down the Vessel of Hatred expansion, Blizzard’s just been riding this wild wave they’ve named the Age of Hatred. Sounds dramatic, right? But honestly, it’s kinda cool. They’ve tossed in these Lair Bosses, Urivar and Harbinger of Hatred—like, who names these things?—and then, bam, Kurast Undercity for everyone. Anyway—wait, no, let’s keep it straight—those Horadric Strongrooms from Season 9? I swear they’ve got everyone hooked.

So, here’s the kicker: the Age of Hatred’s supposed to wrap up with the next expansion, but… is it really? If you’re like me, you’re probably thinking, “Meh, maybe not.” I mean, their 2025 plan? It’s like, it just keeps this Age rolling on. They’ve blown up those endgame bosses, made stuff all Nightmare-y with these dungeon overhauls—what’s it called again? Oh, Escalating Nightmares—or was it Endless Nightmares? Whichever. And then those Infernal Hordes are getting a makeover next, come Season 10. Feels like anyone with the Vessel DLC gets the party bag, while everyone else? Yeah, not so much.

Now, this is where things get chunky. Diablo 4’s in this weird dance of juggling its players. Some folks got the Vessel expansion; others don’t. You’d think, “Hey, easy enough,” but no. It’s like, each time they drop a new season, everyone’s wondering, “What’s in it for me?” And with Blizzard gearing up for more expansions, the whole who’s-got-what mess? It’s gonna need a roadmap of its own. Picture it: four groups—some have one expansion, some both, others none—and Blizzard’s just… well, you get it.

So as long as we’re running with this, folks loyal to Vessel of Hatred gotta have something to chew on, regardless of whatever new shiny expansion they push out. Maybe new Mercenaries? Or how about a World Boss exclusive to Nahantu? Seriously, Nahantu sounds straight outta somewhere wild. It’s way overdue for some bossy action.

Diablo 4’s next big thing? That’s hatching sometime in 2026. Till then, brace for more of this Hatred frenzy, folks. Keeps you on your toes, right?
