Blizzard has announced a third season of content for Diablo 4 will begin next week on 23rd January 2024. Given the name Season of the Construct, it's set to add a new questline, a new base of operations underneath Kehjistan, and a new type of dungeon named Vaults. Catch the announcement trailer above for more context.
A press release sets the scene: "Created by Zolton Kulle and Ayuzhan of Caldeum, an ancient technology known as the Loom has been usurped by the Demon Malphas. In this all-new quest line, team up with Zoltun’s former companion, Ayuzhan, to defeat Malphas and his deadly constructs." Alongside the new questline, the other big thing about Season of the Construct is Vaults, a new type of dungeon that houses a new monster family: The Constructs.
First, you'll source Pearls of Warding from Elite Constructs found in Arcane Tremors, then take these to a vault to gain Zoltun's Warding, which unlocks rewards at the end of a vault. "These will diminish stack by stack if you fall prey to the Hazards within. Pearls of Warding can increase the risk by exchanging them for stacks of Zoltun’s Warding, but success will see your reward increase as well." You'll also be able to unlock a Seneschal companion to fight by your side.
New leaderboards and quality-of-life updates will also be packed into Season of the Construct, including an extra Stash tab and UI improvements. Then, at some point during the season, The Gauntlet will test players to compete for the top spot on a leaderboard within a weekly fixed rotating dungeon. The best scores earn a place in the Hall of the Ancients.

I tend to play every season. And this season seems interesting. Yes, season 4 promised item stats changes will be huge overhaul probably, but I am not skipping this one. Helltides "Always on" is great QoL. And building companion seems to be fun, to find fun combinations to compliment main character.
Lets see what Tomorrow's Dev livestream will bring.
I know you need to make a new character each season, but do you keep the seasonal rewards for use on your main, or are they only temporary aswell?
@BeerMonster everything related to season goes away. Like Malignant hearts and Vampiric powers from seasons. But regular items you can bring to Eternal realm.
Third season? This is not a TV show 🤦
When they announce a new class I may come back to it.
I attempted to take on Uber Lilith yesterday as I was closing in on the platinum and got wiped out with her first attack. Sigh, I just don’t have the patience to put myself through x amount of chalice dungeons to be at a strength to take her on solo.
Also, if anyone needs the 5 pvp kills feel free to send me a friend request
@BusyOlf yeah that boss fight is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever attempted, the wave attacks in the first phase are just pure luck. I’ve been making some attempts lately at lvl 98 ball lightening sorc, pretty well optimized, and it still feels like none of that even matters. I’m passing the DPS checks but the one hit kill mechanics are just busted. I am chasing the platinum as well but it’s not very fun.
@commentlife I’m at lvl 100 and I don’t feel powerful compared to others. I’ve been trying to get hold of a specific aspect for my Barbarian and it will not drop so I’ve hardly touched aspects for the build. Think I need to reset all my skills and try another build setup in the hope that I can at least go into the Uber Lillith battle with others and do some sort of damage on her. Then there’s the hardcore mode, got myself up to lvl 32 and got killed cheaply. I’m looking forward to moving on from this game
@commentlife @BusyOlf worse designed fight ever. I killed her with lv100 necro (bone spear) but I took me around 3 hours of tries without improvement, just pure luck....
So frustrating, but I got the plat
@BusyOlf hardcore 50 is relatively easy, but try to avoid dungeons when you are approaching.... Butcher and some explosions can be tricky
I did it with barbarian full shouts defensive and healing talents, may be slow but if you avoid dangerous areas and dungeons is hard to die
@Nekomichu yeah, I did one dungeon early on in my Sorceress attempt and I had to run through the entirety of the dungeon being chased by the Butcher. Eventually he stops chasing, I bailed, lesson learned. Agree it’s easy, I just got cheaply killed from being distracted by others in the house. I’m going to wait for the new season to start for the events before I try again.
@BeerMonster at the end of the season your character transfers over to the eternal realm replete with what you unlocked..everything is pretty much cosmetic I think.
I may give it one more shot. Hopefully seasonal quest items drop where they're actually lootable this time lol
I'll return when there is new permanent content.
@Northern_munkey @REALAIS Thanks for the info.
