Launch and Pre-Load Schedule
Vessel of Hatred Release Timing
Akarat's followers have anticipated your return, wanderer. Vessel of Hatred and our upcoming season will go live on [b]October 7[/b], at [b]4 p.m. PDT[/b]. For a helpful guide to see where it goes live across the world, see our global release map here:
Play the Vessel of Hatred Campaign
The Vessel of Hatred Campaign requires you to have purchased the Vessel of Hatred expansion. To begin, create a new Character on either the Eternal or Seasonal Realm or play as an existing character from the Eternal Realm. You can select to “Skip Campaign,” if you want your new Character to go right to the beginning of the Vessel of Hatred Campaign. For those new to Diablo IV, we recommend starting your journey by completing the base game campaign for the full experience before beginning the Vessel of Hatred campaign. However, if you’re eager to go immediately to the expansion content, you will need to complete the prologue for the main campaign on one character to unlock the option to skip the main campaign on a newly created character.Vessel of Hatred Contents and Base Game Updates
