For a while now, we have known that the new expansion for Diablo 4 will be released on April 28. The time was previously unknown. In the latest stream, Blizzard reveals: at 1:00 AM German time, you can play Vessel of Hatred. The preload can start tonight.
What is the release time? In Germany (as well as in Austria and Switzerland), Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred will start at 1:00 AM German time for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. The expansion has a global release, meaning it will be available worldwide at the same time and not at local time.
The pre-download can, however, start at 1:00 AM tonight, which is early morning on April 24. We cannot yet say how many GB you will need to download. Simultaneously with Lord of Hatred, or at least just a few minutes later, Season 13 will be released:

- Here you can find all the information about Season 13 in Diablo 4
In the livestream, the developers also announced a collaboration with the metal band Korn. The song “Reward the Scars” will be released along with a video a few hours before Lord of Hatred.
Lord of Hatred transforms Diablo 4, changing all classes for everyone
In the stream, the developers discuss various new features and changes coming with Lord of Hatred and Season 13. One of the features players are most looking forward to is the revamped skill trees.
Each class will receive a completely different talent tree in every version of Diablo 4 – seasonal and eternal, with or without Lord of Hatred – instead of wide branches, you will now have step-by-step improvements for your skills with the ability to change their keywords and elements.
Additionally, some quality improvements like higher stackable materials (up to 1,000), loot filters, and a transparent map will be included.
Lord of Hatred itself comes with a new campaign and a “real” conclusion to the “Hatred Arcs,” as the developers themselves say. We have already played through the campaign and tested Lord of Hatred in advance: Even after 10 hours straight in Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred, I didn’t want to stop
