Diablo 4 Season 4 doesn’t launch for another month, but developer Blizzard Entertainment has been teasing the new features coming to the next season for a few weeks. Recently, the team dropped the new test server patch notes ahead of Season 4 hitting Diablo 4‘s Public Test Realm on April 2nd. While these notes will change as players get their hands on the new content, this patch gives fans a good idea of the direction Blizzard is taking with Season 4. It’s been said several times that this patch will completely change the game, and these early patch notes back that up.

With a patch this size, it’s impossible to get into everything, but the new Tempering crafting system stands out. It’s a new way to add affixes to your favorite items, making it possible to customize your gear around your playstyle. Diablo 4 Season 4 is also bringing back a revamped version of the Helltide event. As you fight through a Helltide, you’ll start to generate Threat. Once your Threat is maxed out, Hell will send an ambush of enemies after you, giving you an added challenge (and an extra chance for rewards). There’s also a new endgame activity called The Pit of Artificers and an updated boss ladder which should up the challenge.
Below, you’ll find the full patch notes for Season 4’s test server update. Diablo 4 is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
