Diablo 4 Set to Make Waves on May 22

Sure, let’s see… Diablo 4 fans, gather ’round because there’s another Campfire Chat heading your way just like an anticipated sequel nobody asked for—oops, I mean, everyone did! So, jot this down: May 22, 11am PT. Mark it. Highlight it. Forget it and then remember five minutes before it starts.

Alright, Diablo 4 is like that persistent friend who’s always reinventing themselves. Season 9’s coming, and honestly, maybe it’ll be cooler than Season 8? Who knows. The current season, Belial’s Return, has us running around like we’re on some virtual scavenger hunt. Bosses, pets named Iris (don’t ask me why this matters), and bizarre collaborations. Seriously, they’re throwing everything at us. Why? Because they can.

Back to the chat. It’s more than just developers talking. They’re presenting all things Season 9: “The Sins of the Horadrim,” if that rings a bell. Or doesn’t. Expect juicy updates like balance tweaks and the mysterious Dungeon Escalation. Sounds grand, right? They even have a Q&A setup. So, grill them with questions that should’ve been asked seasons ago.

Oh, and “Sins of the Horadrim” has a nice ring, though what it means—your guess is as good as mine. The roadmap gave us breadcrumbs about Horadric Powers, quests, and something called a reputation board. Asking what that entails feels like questioning art—interpret it your way.

This season, expect Dungeon Escalation, which seems intense in theory, and a new pet. Not sure what, but fingers crossed for a dragon or something that breathes fire, metaphorically speaking.

Looking ahead, Season 9 debuts in July and stretches till September. Dates are vague, like trying to predict next month’s weather based on today’s cloud shapes. Meanwhile, brace yourself for Season 10, “Infernal Chaos,” because Twilight Zone names have become mandatory, it seems.

In a nutshell, mark your calendars or don’t. But definitely do if you’re one of those who live on a steady gaming diet of ancient evils and legendary loot. Chat’s happening on May 22. Be there or… well, just stream it later.
