Diablo 4 launches Season of Hell's Legacy on September 15. The season marks the franchise's 30th anniversary and the game's Nintendo Switch 2 debut. It adds Deckard Cain's return, Prime Evils rematches in classic zones, nine permanent Legacy Uniques, and Waking Nightmares encounters alongside bundled expansions with cross-play.

Diablo 4's next season arrives on September 15 to mark the franchise's 30th anniversary and the game's debut on Nintendo Switch 2.

Blizzard reveals Season of Hell's Legacy at BlizzCon 2026. The developer announced the season during the opening ceremony on September 13, 2026. It serves as a tribute to three decades of Diablo and centers on the return of Deckard Cain along with a rematch against the three original Prime Evils: Diablo, Baal, and Mephisto.

Cain's spirit warns players that echoes of the Prime Evils have resurfaced in familiar locations from earlier games. These include Tristram Cathedral for Diablo, Arreat Summit for Baal, and the Durance of Hate for Mephisto. Defeating one yields a Soul Splinter that grants a portion of the demon's power while increasing vulnerability to that same demon.
The Amazon class also returns to Diablo 4 for the first time.

New permanent items and encounters join the game. Nine new Legacy Uniques arrive permanently, including the returning Stone of Jordan. A set of enemy encounters called Waking Nightmares recreate specific moments from Diablo's past.
