Blizzard is launching a new community event called the Sanctuary Sitdown on August 14, where developers will host a live chat session to discuss upcoming content and answer questions about Diablo 4. The event replaces traditional Campfire Chat livestreams and will focus on Season 10’s PTR and its release date.
Season 10, titled “Infernal Chaos,” is set to launch on September 23, amidst a crowded gaming month that includes Borderlands 4, Hell is Us, and more. This season comes after Diablo 4’s first major update in months, with the PTR giving fans a chance to try new content before its release.
The timing of Season 10 is both strategic and risky, as it launches just 11 days after Borderlands 4. Blizzard must deliver memorable updates to stand out in a crowded launch window. The Sanctuary Sitdown will provide an opportunity for developers to share insights into gameplay, balance, and features changes.
Blizzard’s change in communication strategy marks a shift towards direct community engagement. The event is expected to cover major details about the PTR, possibly including its release date. This new format aims to build excitement and gather feedback from players.
In other news, Diablo 4 has launched a limited-time event called “Gift of the Tree,” which offers boosts for turning in Grim Favors to the Tree of Whispers. The season has seen significant changes, with Gem Fragments becoming top-tier resources thanks to Horadric Spells and Jewels.
