Diablo 4 had been suffering from a controversial post-launch roadmap with a lot of creative choices that did not particularly endear the developers to the fans.
At the Opening Ceremony of BlizzCon 2023, Diablo IV shared their roadmap for the rest of the year. This was followed by a blog post that teased the third season that adds a Weekly Challenge Dungeon known as the Gauntlet.
As a part of the blog post, the developers also mentioned that Diablo IV will receive its first Seasonal content. The Holiday event, known as The Midwinter Blight, which will start on December 12th and will be live for three weeks.
While no official details have been revealed yet, from the image shared, Midwinter Blight will feature a sinister version of Santa Claus.
Other changes are also coming to the Season of the Blood that a fair portion of the database has criticized. The first will be Patch 1.2.2, which releases November 7th and brings class-specific unique malignant rings.

The next patch mentioned is Patch 1.2.3, arriving December 5th, which adds a preview window to the Occultist Vendor, allowing players to see what affixes are possible before they spend their hard-earned gold.
The December 5th update will also add Abattoir of Zir, a highly replayable end-game event. Players can enjoy this mode for over six weeks.
Blizzard has clarified that the Abattoir of Zir is specifically intended for players who have hit level hundred and have slain Uber Duriel but mastered the Season of Blood challenge as well.
The biggest surprise came from the teaser trailer for the first expansion, promised ahead of the release, titled Vessel of Hatred.
Fans have noticed a voice-over by Mephisto with the sounds of Neyrelle in the background. While the release of the DLC is quite far away, players can slay foes from the nether world in Diablo IV’s Season 2 now.
