Story Continuation
Following the events of the base game, Vessel of Hatred focuses on Mephisto designing an extremely evil strategy. In search of Neyrelle, players travel to a new land to stop his diabolical schemes and discover their place in this story.
New Region
This plot takes us to an unknown region – Nahant. It’s a beautiful area filled with lush greenery, stunning waterfalls, and ancient architecture. Soon, this magnificent place may transform into a brutal battlefield against hellish forces.
Diablo IV | Vessel of Hatred New Character Class
The Spiritborn is a new character class harnessing the powers of four jungle spirits: jaguar, gorilla, eagle, and centipede. Playing this character provides even greater immersion in the Nahant’s jungle environment.

Players can now recruit powerful mercenaries. Using this opportunity will significantly increase their power on the risky quest to save Sanctuary.
New Endgame Content
A new co-op endgame dungeon requires teamwork to overcome its challenges. It’s where you’ll find the Dark Citadel – a three-winged location inhabited by an unimaginably violent enemy.

Summary
Vessel of Hatred DLC delivers up to 36 hours of extra fun, expanding on the action-fueled Diablo 4’s story.
Before buying it, remember it’s not a standalone expansion, so you must own the base game to enjoy its content. But whichever edition you choose, expect a refreshed Diablo experience filled with plot twists and thrilling challenges!
