Season 10

Diablo 4 Season 10: Season of Infernal Chaos - 23 September 2025. Season 10 was revealed when the first Diablo 4 roadmap was released.

This Season focus on Chaos Armor and Chaos Perks (Powers). The Fell Council is hell-bent on sowing chaos and destruction across Sanctuary.

Starting Season 10

Hunt down the assassin Shyan and the distressed villages located in Ked Bardu to begin the Sands of Chaos questline. Shyan belongs to the order of the Viz-Jaq'taar whose goal is to hunt down demon-corrupted mages and seek the source of the Chaos Rifts that are spreading across Sanctuary. The Fell Council and the return of Bartuc, Lord of Chaos are a focus of this Season.

Infernal Hordes Reborn

A popular features in Diablo 4 are the infernal Hordes and this Season there's changes with addition of a Bartuc fight and Chaos waves.

Chaos Waves

These waves are tougher than the usual waves and will provide players with more Aether. Expect projectiles from Chaos Rifts, Aether Goblins, and more.

Bartuc

At the conclusion of an Infernal Horde run, players choose to either fight the Fell Council or Bartuc himself.

Fighting Bartuc as a party, each member will spend Aether. Bartuc will use Chaos Portals to fire projectiles and there are teleport pads which help players navigate around his attacks.

Once defeated, rewards drop on the ground.

Infernal Hordes Changes

Infernal Offerings betwen each wave have been reworked and rebalanced.

Our goal is to try and make all offerings feel valid as choices for you as you start to stack them to focus on your run. This includes additional balancing to ensure that Infernal Offerings are more balanced across the board compared to the Hellborne wave, which has been seen as essential for the best possible Infernal Hordes run.

Chaos Monsters

Chaos Monsters are a new monster family that can provide a temporary buff when killed and can be increased in duration through the Urn of Sustain from Seasonal Blessings. These buffs stack, assuming you can kill another Chaos Bringer before your existing buff expires.

Fell Council Changes

One of the Fell Council is now designated the Council Speaker and gains enhanced abilities.

The Fleeting Hordes

To allow players at pre-Torment lower tiers into the Infernal Hotde action Fleeting Hordes are available which are a trimmed-down version of the Infernal Hordes. There's a total of four waves with limited Infernal Offerings, and players will only face two of the Fell Council at the end.
