According to the announcement, we'll be heading to a new area of Sanctuary called Nahantu for a story focused on Mephisto, Lilith's father. While Blizzard is keeping it's card close to its chest right now, Vessel of Hatred will also include a brand-new class, but we'll need to wait a bit longer until the developer unveils it.While it's best to take any leaks with a pinch of salt, recent datamines suggest that the upcoming class is called "Spiritborn" (thanks, IGN). While the datamine had Vessel of Hatred's name down as "Lord of Hatred," it's said to include a mercenary system for NPC companions, new endgame activities, new gear, new questlines, and more.Vessel of Hatred will be the first of Blizzard's planned yearly expansions for the game, and although we have some time until we can decide the fate of Mephisto, we'll be hoping to get some more Diablo IV achievements with the new content.More Diablo IV stories: Diablo 4 gets 10-hour free trial for all Xbox players this weekend Free Play Days features three free Xbox games this weekend Diablo 4 Season of Blood livestream shows off vampire powers and reduced XP grind Diablo 4 set to unleash hell on Xbox with yearly expansions Diablo 4 gets first XP-boosting weekend on Xbox Xbox Series X|SXbox One Written by Tom WestTom has been playing video games since he was old enough to hold a controller, experimenting with a number of systems until he eventually fell in love with Xbox.
