Diablo IV Season 5 Leaked: New Consumables and Infernal Hordes Mode Revealed!
Exciting new details about Diablo IV Season 5 have emerged from this week's Public Test Realm (PTR) opening. The biggest reveal? Four brand-new consumables designed specifically for the upcoming Infernal Hordes endgame mode.
Consumables in Diablo IV restore resources or grant temporary buffs. Players typically acquire them through monster drops, chests, crests, or merchant purchases. Existing types include healing potions, elixirs (offering buffs like increased armor), and incense (boosting maximum life or elemental resistance).
According to Wowhead, Season 5 introduces:
- Antipathy: A rare anointment increasing resistance.
- Blackblood: A common anointment boosting a random core stat.
- Vitriol: A magical anointment enhancing damage over time.
- Triune Anointment Cache: A new cache containing anointments, rare gear, and crafting materials.
These new consumables will be integral to the Infernal Hordes mode, a roguelite-style endgame experience featuring 90-second enemy waves and three selectable modifiers after each wave completion. Difficulty scales with rewards. The mode also introduces Abyssal Scrolls, similar to Helltide's Profane Mindcage Elixir, to ramp up the challenge.
While details on acquisition methods, usage costs, and crafting recipes remain scarce (the PTR runs until July 2nd), the discovery of these new consumables promises exciting gameplay changes for Season 5. Stay tuned for further updates as players delve deeper into the PTR!
