Diablo 4 season 4, formally called Loot Reborn, is coming. As the title suggests, it’s bringing a revamp to the loot system, some new blacksmithing mechanics, a new take on the Helltides mechanic, and a deadly plot involving the Iron Wolves mercenary company.

What’s new in Diablo 4 season 4?

Like the name suggests, Diablo 4 Season 4’s Loot Reborn is mostly about items:

  • Affixes are getting simplified descriptions with more straightforward effects.
  • Tempering and Masterwork let a blacksmith customize, swap, and improve your affixes using the new Tempering Manual and Crafting Manual items.
  • You’ll be rewarded with several of those Tempering Manuals when you fight along with the Iron Wolves mercenary company in Kehjistan.
  • Masterworking will require a specific material that can only be found in the new, timed, World Tier 4, 200-level challenge, The Pit of Artificers.
  • The Helltide will now include a threat mechanic inspired by Season of Blood that culminates in the player becoming Hell-marked and drawing the attention of a Hellborn. Collect their Baleful Hearts to start the Accursed Ritual and face the Blood Maiden for a valuable reward.

What to expect in Manor Lords early access

Manor Lords is releasing in early access (or as a preview on PC Game Pass), which means that the game isn’t complete yet. There are a number of features that haven’t been implemented. But while there’s clearly still a lot to come, no roadmap has been published.

What you can do, though, is play three different scenarios on the game’s single early access map. You can also change the various settings for the scenario to customize your experience from something close to a sandbox all the way up to an exacting and battle-filled challenge.
