After months of teasing, Blizzard is finally revealing Diablo 4 Season 11 during today’s Sanctuary Sitdown developer stream. And if the community is right, this might just be the biggest update the game has seen since launch.
On Reddit, a few topics came up where everyone is speculating over what to expect:
The Season That Could Change Everything
Players are calling it “Judgement Day” for a reason. Season 11 is going to introduce what we could call “Loot 3.0“, so a major overhaul that will redefine how gearing, tempering, and progression work in Diablo 4. Alongside that, we are expecting a ton of quality-of-life improvements, including maybe loot pickup, better pet behavior, and permanent waypoint unlocks.
There is also talk of changes to the reliquary system, improved endgame, and even changes to the seasonal progression boards. And if that was not enough, Blizzard might finally drop PTR details or a roadmap teasing what is next, maybe even the first hints about the next expansion!
It is a lot, and that is exactly why players are hyped. If Season 11 focuses on fixing core frustrations, it could be the turning point players have been waiting for.
The Paladin Rumors
There is also one big wildcard everyone is hoping for, and that is the Paladin. If the rumors are true, Season 11 could introduce Diablo 4’s next class, and unlike the Spiritborn, this one might be completely free for all players.
The Paladin has been one of the most requested class since launch, and an official reveal during tonight’s stream would be perfect. However, take this with a grain of salt because it is still unknown if the next class really comes with Season 11, or with the actual next expansion. On top of that, there is no official indication that it will indeed be the Paladin.
A few players are also thinking about Crusader or something similar, which would fit inside the current main story of the game. Keep your eyes open tonight!
Hope… With a Side of Skepticism
Still, it would not be Diablo 4 without a little drama. The community has been through more “make or break” updates than they can count, and plenty of players are keeping expectations in check. Every season has come with talk of redemption, but this time, it does feel bigger. Blizzard has been hinting at this rework for months, and rolling it all out now suggests they have been preparing something massive.
It is unknown if it is truly a rebirth for Diablo 4, or just another round of bigger numbers, but one thing is clear, the devs know the stakes. This update needs to prove that Diablo 4 is not just recovering, it is evolving.
We will find out soon enough when Blizzard goes live with the Sanctuary Sitdown later today, so stay tuned!
