From Press Release:
Today, Blizzard Entertainment announced that Diablo IV: Season of Divine Intervention arrives on December 11, featuring changes to itemization and monster combat as players fight against the Lesser Evils invading Sanctuary.
Features of Season of Divine Intervention include:
- Azmodan’s Return: Joined by Belial, Andariel, and Duriel, Azmodan and the Lesser Evils wreak havoc on Sanctuary, taking advantage of the chaos surrounding Akarat’s mysterious return. Players utilize Nightmare Affixes to gain Divine favor.
- Monsters Evolved: Smarter and deadlier enemies plague Sanctuary with clearer combat roles. Enemies’ dynamic behavior encourages players to adapt their approach to confrontations.
- Itemization Overhaul: With Tempering and Masterworking streamlining the item journey, players can directly set affixes from a Tempering Recipe. Masterworking improves the Quality of an item, which gives a bonus to the base damage, armor, or resistance of an item.
- Sanctification: The powers of the High Heavens grace player items as one final and powerful upgrade, channeling Angelic power into gear. Sanctifying items has the chance to apply a bonus Legendary power, improve an Affix, add or replace an Affix, and, in rare instances, even make items indestructible.
- Season Rank: The Season Journey evolves into a more challenging version with even greater rewards. Known as Seasonal Rank, this system requires players to complete a Capstone Dungeon before progressing to the next Rank.
