The Diablo series is one of Blizzard Entertainment’s most popular ARPGs, with millions of fans and players across all platforms. The latest installment in the Diablo series, Diablo IV, is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game, generating $666 million in revenue in just five days. Moreover, the game reached 12 million concurrent players in August 2024.
Blizzard is giving more treats in holiday spirit with Diablo IV getting a full access free trial to Vessel of Hatred and Spiritborn class. Spiritborn class is the new class added with Vessel of Hatred and one of the most OP classes in Diablo IV. However, the free trial is not available on Steam. But you can check it out on the PlayStation Store, the Xbox app, or Battlenet, Blizzard’s free PC launcher.
Diablo IV Season 7 is only a few months away and Season of Hatred is going to be the game’s longest season. Devs have shared roadmap for next year in the recent Campfire Chat that Season 7 for Diablo IV will be coming next year. However, there is still no confirmed start date and time for the new season.

Diablo IV getting hate in ARPGS
It is undoubtedly one of the biggest ARPGs today, but that does not mean it is perfect in every aspect. Diablo IV has been criticized extensively since its launch, but the devs have made many crucial improvements in the six months since then. Moreover, with the launch of the newly released Path of Exile 2 (Early Access), Diablo IV is kind of getting more trolled for having an easier difficulty (early in the game) and not having a good end-game route.
Recently, one of the returning players posted on the official Blizzard forums about the undeserved hate that Diablo 4 gets.
“Played S1-S3 and had to take a break due to career and work. I had some time this winter.
“After revisiting LE and playing a bunch of PoE2 I think D4 gets alot of unnecessary hate.
“The end game isn’t perfect but it seems like they have made alot of good progress.
“Infernal hordes, undercity, pit, and changes to NM dungeons feel great. The gearing seems more frustrating around T2 because you are essentially just farming Ancestrals and then masterworking and fine tuning affixs. It’s a bit tedious, but all games based on Min/Maxxing will to be grindfests at some point.
“I overall have throughly enjoyed my recent playthrough of D4, and I hope to see them bring together endgame a touch more because they seem close.
“F.y.i game is WAYYY to easy early game. Im lucky I made it to T2 because it was insane how easy it was before T1. Remove a difficulty or something.”
In response to this post, a lot of players cleared on what terms Diablo 4 really gets hate.
For the game being too easy on T1 difficulty, a user responded, “Now you know why some players do not like D4.”
Mainly for the endgame content, a user responded, “Thats main issue people have is they dont seem to actually care. There are many great ARPG’s that people like endgame and yet D4 team just doesnt care…its only about the killing stuff and useless loot that you spend too much time trying to min/max in order to keep user time values up.”
Let us know what you guys think of the hate being given to Diablo 4, is it unnecessary or deserving?
