Diablo 4 Season 7 is called Season of Witchcraft, and Blizzard officially released it on January 21, 2025. In this new season, in addition to new story lines and missions, there are many new game contents waiting for players to explore. The following are the confirmed updates:
New Season Mechanics: In this season, Witch Powers become the most important mechanism, including 7 Eldritch Powers, 6 Psyche Powers, 7 Growth & Decay Powers, and 4 Lost Powers. In addition, they will also be divided into Normal and Unique qualities, and you need to obtain them at Altars of the Covens.
New World Events: A new world event called Headhunts has been added. It works very similar to the previous Helltides event, and will be rotated regularly in Sanctuary. The new Headhunts event contains multiple Whispers, which is a good way for you to farm the rewards provided by Grim Favors and Tree of Whispers.
New Gems: Season 7 adds Occult Gems, which can be used to improve the stats of gear in your build or increase the damage of some skills. Some of them can also interact with Witch Powers, which can be used to increase effectiveness and reduce skill cooldowns.
New Items: As with all previous seasons, each class will receive at least one new Unique and one new Legendary Aspect in Season 7, which can be used to enhance the build you use. Not only that, there are also new Tempering Manuals and Runes, which make character builds in this season more possible.
New Dungeons: A new dungeon type called Rootholds has been added to the game content of the new season, which is a kind of micro-dungeons in the game. You can farm specific Occult Gems in it, as well as some special rewards, which provides great convenience for players who don’t have too much time to explore large dungeons.
New Seasonal Reputation: With the update of the season, the reputation system used in the game must also be updated. The one used in Season 7 is The Coven, which will reward you with some Witch Powers, gear and materials. In addition, this system will provide you with some new tasks to deepen your understanding of the theme of this season in Sanctuary.
Quality of Life Update: In this season, the developers have added Armory System that players have been asking for to the game, which will allow you to switch multiple builds you have in 5 seconds.
These new game content and improvements make Diablo 4 Season 7 more playable. I hope you can feel a brand new game experience in this new season!
