On what date did Diablo IV’s Vessel of Hatred expansion release?

Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred released on October 8, 2024.

Vessel of Hatred is the first expansion for Diablo IV. It continues the story after the base game and focuses on Neyrelle’s attempt to contain the soulstone holding Mephisto, one of the Prime Evils. The campaign moves into Nahantu, a jungle region south of the original game’s main map.

The expansion introduced the Spiritborn, a new playable class built around powerful spirit guardians and agile close-range combat. It also added new areas, dungeons, enemies, mercenaries, and progression features. The release date was shared across supported platforms, although access depended on the edition purchased and platform availability.

The date is distinct from Diablo IV’s original launch in 2023. It is also separate from the announcement and pre-order periods, which occurred earlier. Vessel of Hatred’s story establishes a new chapter in the conflict involving Mephisto.
