To take its space at the Xbox Games Showcase is now Diablo IV which shows us for the first time a spectacular CG movie of Vessel of Hatred, the first expansion of the game that will see the light on October 8th.

Here's all the information released about the expansion, followed by the new trailer.

Diablo IV has been a huge success in 2023, and its long-awaited first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, will be available from October 8. Pre-purchases are already available for immediate access to in-game cosmetic rewards.

Prepare for the darkness that awaits you:

• NEW CLASS: SPIRITUALIST - Among the supreme predators of the jungle, the Spiritist is an entirely new class for the Diablo series. Spiritists are marked by war with mystical synergies that can only be awakened in the depths of Nahantu's jungles. Take on the role of one of the Spiritists and embrace the eternal spirits connected to this ancient civilization.

• NEW REGION: NAHANTU - Explore Nahantu, Diablo IV's newest jungle region filled with secrets, dangerous new dungeons, fortresses, and fierce warrior tribe demons.

• CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN - Set in the immediate aftermath of Diablo IV, Vessel of Hatred continues its dark story, testing you as you fight to save Neyrelle's soul, caught in Mephisto's grip and still reeling from her choice to contain him. Neyrelle's quest takes you to the heart of the ancient jungle, while she deals with the imprisoned Prime Evil. Try to unravel Mephisto's dark plot as new enemies impede your every move, plotting your demise. The fate of Neyrelle's soul, and his ability to stop the Prime Evil from destroying Sanctuary, is in your hands.

• NEW GAME UPDATES - Vessel of Hatred also introduces major updates to Diablo IV, including new class abilities, boards of excellence, legendary glyphs, dungeon types, Whisper Tree activities, and more.
• Never fight alone, as new Mercenaries can join you on your quest through the dense undergrowth of Nahantu and beyond. These powerful allies increase their power as you progress, and each comes with unique abilities to help you in combat.
• A new co-op PvE mode, allowing you to work together with friends to achieve objectives and defeat the boss in a multi-level dungeon. Plus, you'll be able to collect loot and rewards along the way.
