The next season for Diablo 4, 'Divine Intervention', is set to kick off on the 12th (based on local time).

In this latest seasonal outing, you'll be pitting yourself against high demons invading Sanctuary, all while grappling with a revamped item system and combat mechanics. First off, Azmodan makes a return as a new world boss. Amidst the chaos stirred by the mysterious return of Akarat, Azmodan has decided to team up with high demons Belial, Andariel, and Duriel to threaten Sanctuary. You can earn 'Celestial Grace' by taking down high demons infused with nightmare affixes or by conquering dungeons. Be warned: the enemy AI has been sharpened, so you'll need to adjust your combat strategies accordingly.

The item system has also seen a tidy-up; Tempering and Masterworking processes are now more streamlined, allowing you to directly set specific stats within Tempering recipes. Masterworking effectively boosts item quality, granting bonuses to base attack, armor, or resistances.

Additionally, you can now 'Consecrate' your gear to imbue it with angelic power. Consecrating an item gives you a chance to trigger a bonus legendary ability or improve existing stats, with options to add or swap properties entirely.

The Season Journey is evolving too, introducing a new Season Rank system that promises higher difficulty tiers paired with commensurate rewards. To climb the ranks, you'll need to complete the ultimate dungeons before moving on to the next tier.

The Divine Intervention season begins on the 12th at 1:30 PM, and you can find more detailed information over on the official blog.
