Blizzard is going to ramp up the difficulty in Diablo 4 Season 8 following player feedback that the game has felt too easy, especially during early leveling.
In a recent developer update, also known as Campfire Chat, Blizzard confirmed that Season 8 will include a few ‘tuning changes’ designed to make progression feel more meaningful and give endgame content a bit more of a challenge.
Here is what to expect:
- Early leveling will slow down slightly, giving players more time to grow into their builds.
- Enemy scaling is being adjusted, with stronger foes in the mid-to-late game.
- Boss fights will get mechanical upgrades to make them more strategic and rewarding.
- Affix reworks will add extra layers of danger to elite enemies and Nightmare dungeons.
Blizzard also stated that the goal is to strike a better balance between fun and challenge while responding directly to what players have been asking for.
Season 8 launches on April 29, and the full, finalized patch notes should be just around the corner.
“We heard you loud and clear. Players want Diablo IV to push back a little more, and we agree,” Blizzard said.
