New Content in Diablo 4 Season 7
The Season of Witchcraft brings a wealth of new content to Diablo 4, starting with a Seasonal Questline that delves into the lore of the Witches of Hawezar and the enigmatic Tree of Whispers. By progressing through this questline, players will unlock the potent witchcraft powers of Eldritch, Psyche, and Growth & Decay, which can be integrated into their preferred builds, adding a new layer of strategy and customization to the game.
Complementing these powers are the new Occult Gems, special socketables that enhance the witchcraft abilities. These can be acquired by collaborating with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers, underscoring the significance of this location in Season 7.
The Season of Witchcraft also introduces its own Battle Pass, featuring 90 Reward Tiers. Both free and premium tracks are available, offering players a chance to earn a variety of cosmetic items and other rewards that enhance their Diablo 4 experience.
Last but not least, the Season of Witchcraft heralds the arrival of the Armory, a permanent new feature that allows players to swiftly switch between different builds. This addition is a game-changer, providing flexibility and convenience that will undoubtedly be appreciated by the Diablo 4 community as they explore the Season of Witchcraft.
