Furthermore, recent datamines have provided some additional clues about the expansion. Although the datamines reference an expansion named “Lord of Hatred” instead of Vessel of Hatred, they do indicate a focus on Mephisto. According to the datamines, players can expect new exciting questlines, gear, and endgame activities. Additionally, a new class called “Spiritborn” and a mercenary system enabling NPC companions to join the fight alongside players may be introduced.
It is important to note that datamined information can often be outdated or inaccurate. Therefore, it’s possible that the aforementioned details could change or become irrelevant before the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion. However, these discoveries still offer valuable insights for devoted Diablo fans eager to devour any details regarding the plans of the Prime Evils of Hell.
Diablo 4 has been garnering praise for its recent vampire-themed content in the Season of Blood. Since its launch, the game has captivated players, earning a stellar rating of 9/10. Its endgame and progression design have been hailed as near perfection, making it irresistibly addictive. Patch 1.2.1, the latest update, has made respecs easier for players, while the search for the game’s secret Cow Level continues to perplex and excite players.
