What’s New in Diablo 4 Season 9 “Sins of the Horadrim”

Season 9 of Diablo 4 launches on July 1, 2025, bringing a wealth of fresh mechanics, content, and opportunities for players. This season promises to be one of the richest yet, featuring a new storyline, a unique enchantment system, and impressive items for all classes. After a brief introduction, we invite you to explore all the new additions in Diablo 4’s ninth season.

Key Features of Season 9

The season’s storyline revolves around the redemption of the ancient sins of the Horadrim and the return of the powerful demon Astaroth. Players will uncover the mysteries of the Horadrim Order and face new threats.

The core mechanic of the season is Horadric Spellcraft. It allows players to empower their characters using special catalysts, infusions, and arcana, offering new tactical possibilities for building character builds.

New activities and zones have also been added:

  • Horadric Strongrooms — special dungeons featuring puzzles and valuable rewards.
  • Escalating Nightmares — progressive waves of enemies with increasing difficulty and improved loot.

And, of course, every class receives a new unique item that can radically change playstyle.
