Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, has experienced a slight delay due to unforeseen technical issues. While the launch is still planned for October 7th, players may need to wait a few extra hours.
Vessel of Hatred continues the story from the main game, taking players to the Nahantu region to follow Neyrelle's quest to defeat Mephisto. It also introduces the Spiritborn, a new class wielding a double-sided glaive and powerful animal spirits.
Originally scheduled for a 4 PM PDT release across all platforms, community manager PezRadar announced a postponement on the Blizzard forums. A minor technical issue necessitates the delay to ensure a smooth launch for everyone.
When Will Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred Be Playable?
At the original release time, players were unable to access Diablo 4 until the Vessel of Hatred launch. Those already logged in could continue playing on Patch 1.5.2 for a short time before being logged out to allow Blizzard to prepare the servers.
The exact length of the delay is currently unknown, but PezRadar expects the expansion to launch before the end of October 7th. While a delay of an hour or two is anticipated, players may need to be patient.
Despite the delay, Twitch Drops for Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred remain active starting at 4 PM PDT. Players can watch their favorite Diablo 4 streamers and earn cosmetic rewards while waiting for the launch.
