Alright, so Diablo 4’s “Age of Hatred” thing—wow, it’s been a ride, hasn’t it? Since they dropped that Vessel of Hatred DLC, it’s like we’ve all been stuck in this dark, edgy era. And those Lair Bosses like Urivar and the Harbinger of… who was it again? Oh right, Hatred! They’ve made their grand entrance. Plus, remember the Kurast Undercity dungeon in Season 9? Yeah, they just threw it out there for everyone. Crazy, huh? Anyway, this “Age” isn’t packing up anytime soon. Who knows, maybe it’s setting up camp for longer than we’d ever guess.
The 2025 plan—or roadmap? Whatever they call it—tells us the Age of Hatred will be hanging out through the end of the year. Don’t get me started on how they’ve been shaking up those game mechanics. Like, the Nightmare Dungeons? Total makeover. And those Lair Boss ladder things in Season 8? Didn’t see that coming. But hey, change is good, right? At least for those riding the Vessel of Hatred train. Lucky them, Blizzard’s rolling out the red carpet just for them even when the next expansion hits. Seems like the DLC crew is getting more bang for their buck—unless Blizzard decides to flip the script. Fingers crossed for them.
Switching gears a bit—can we talk about splits? No, not the gym kind. I mean the player base. Every new expansion drops and bam! We’ve got a divide. Consider this: you’ve got folks who snag both expansions, the ones who just buy the Vessel of Hatred, those who jump on whatever new expansion hype train arrives, and of course, those chill ones who buy nothing. But here’s the kicker—Blizzard’s got to keep everyone happy. Keep that content train chugging along for all four groups. Can’t leave the Vessel peeps hanging, especially if the next shiny DLC grabs all the spotlight.
Oh, and speaking of Vessel of Hatred, what about future plans? It’s not like the Age of Hatred’s just going to poof away. Season updates—anyone think it’s all about Mercenaries? Or maybe a new World Boss in Nahantu. Diablo 4 needs more bosses, and what a way to keep Nahantu buzzing, right? Just dreaming here, but it’d be epic if that happened.
Rumor has it we’re looking at 2026 for Diablo 4’s second expansion. Till then, buckle up—seems like the Age of Hatred isn’t going anywhere. At least, not while Blizzard’s cooking up more chaos. That’s all I’ve got; stay tuned for more wild Diablo adventures!
