Sanctuary is heading into one of its busiest stretches yet.
With Diablo IV Season 11 approaching its final weeks, Blizzard is already looking ahead to the next major milestones — including Season 12 and the highly anticipated Lord of Hatred expansion arriving April 28.
Between seasonal resets, class balance shifts, and expansion hype, the Diablo roadmap for the coming months is packed.
Season 11 Nearing Its End
Season 11 is expected to wrap up in the coming weeks, marking the end of the current seasonal progression and leaderboard race.
As always, the closing period of a Diablo season is when players rush to:
- Complete seasonal objectives
- Push leaderboard rankings
- Finalize endgame builds
- Secure remaining seasonal rewards
Once Season 11 concludes, progression will reset and players will shift focus toward the next seasonal cycle.
Season 12 Launch Expected Soon
Blizzard has already begun preparing for Season 12, which is expected to launch shortly after Season 11 ends.
While full patch notes have not yet been released, early community discussions and previews suggest:
- New seasonal mechanics
- Class balance updates
- Build meta shifts
- Streamlined seasonal progression
- New rewards and cosmetics
Some theorycrafting circles are already pointing to potential standout builds for the upcoming season, with certain Paladin setups expected to perform strongly if current tuning holds.
Lord of Hatred Expansion Arrives April 28
The biggest milestone on the horizon is the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion, scheduled to launch April 28.
This expansion is expected to introduce:
- New story content
- Major gameplay systems
- Endgame updates
- Potential new activities and secrets
- Expanded progression paths
While Blizzard has kept many details under wraps, anticipation continues to build as the release date approaches.
A Busy Road Ahead for Diablo
The coming months represent a major transition period for Diablo IV.
With one season ending, another beginning, and a major expansion on the horizon, players can expect constant changes to builds, progression, and endgame strategies.
Blizzard’s move toward a faster live-service cadence means Sanctuary rarely stands still — and the road to the Lord of Hatred expansion is just getting started.
For Diablo fans, the message is clear:
prepare your builds, finish your seasonal goals, and get ready for what’s coming next.
Sanctuary is about to get even busier.
