Expansion Trailer

Prepare for the next chapter of Diablo IV. Become the apex predator of the jungle as the all-new Spiritborn class. Expand your map to journey into the new region of Nahantu in search of Neyrelle, who is both suffering the fate of her choice to imprison the Prime Evil Mephisto, and seeking a means to destroy him. Recruit Mercenaries to aid you in combat, fight together in a new PvE co-op activity, & more. Pre-purchase and instantly unlock in-game rewards*.

With Mephisto’s Soulstone in hand, Neyrelle sails south to the jungles of Nahantu to banish him for good.

Those looking to envelop themselves in the malign events of Diablo IV’s main questline before jumping into the Vessel of Hatred expansion should watch the Story So Far video below.

The grand River Gates of Nahantu are waiting, and a tortured Neyrelle drifts further within. This tormented mortal suffers the seemingly endless machinations of the Prime Evil Mephisto trapped within the Soulstone.

New Class

Spiritborn

The Spiritborn, apex predator of the Nahantu jungle, is poised to strike. With expert agility and mobility, they strike down foes with visceral ferocity, utilizing glaives, quarterstaves, and polearms as an extension of themselves. They channel the immense power and abilities of the four Spirit Guardians in battle, able to adapt to whatever is the swiftest path to dominance.
Discover Nahantu
Expand Sanctuary to discover new Towns and bygone civilizations shrouded in the vast jungle of Nahantu. Battle courageously through new dungeons and Strongholds and take on new enemies from ferocious demons to warring Tribes, the likes of which could only thrive amidst the hellish overgrowth of Kurast or the barren desert of Teganze.
Continue the campaign
Prepare for the next chapter of Diablo IV. Your search for Neyrelle takes you deep into an ancient jungle in an attempt to uncover Mephisto’s malicious agenda and put his corruption to an end once and for all. But be warned – within infernal jungle mists await gruesome new foes, plotting your demise. Your survival, and the fate of Neyrelle’s soul, hang in the balance.
New mercenaries

Discover and recruit new Mercenaries to join you on your quest. These powerful allies fight alongside you, grow in power as they progress, and help you in combat with unique abilities.
Dark Citadel
Party up to take on a new multi-faceted dungeon with powerful challenges and promising rewards. First of its kind to Diablo, this dungeon will require eager warriors to team up and take down the challenge together.

Tons of base game updates

All Diablo IV players can venture forward with new Pets to aid in gold and material pickup today! Plus, experience more updates coming to all players when Vessel of Hatred releases.

Sanctuary is a volatile place—danger lurks at every turn and the reappearance of Mephisto’s hatred has ushered in a new era of hardships for those who call these lands home. While its denizens may have little hope, the rich stories they’ve passed down through generations have shined truth on the darkness.

“When Akarat Came to Nahantu”
by Matthew J. Kirby

In ancient times, the jungles of Nahantu festered with hatred. This corruption drove people from their homes and strangled all life from the land. But one day there came a wandering ascetic named Akarat, accompanied by his followers. In time, Akarat learned much about Nahantu and dedicated himself to cleansing the evil that rooted there . . .
