Diablo 4 Unveils Season of the Construct

Blizzard has announced the Season of the Construct for Diablo 4, revealing a new questline, dungeon type, monster family, battle pass, and more. The season commences on January 23 and revolves around Zoltun Kulle's Loom, a powerful device now under the control of the Demon Malphas.

Key highlights include:

• Questline: Focuses on recovering the Loom, involving Ayuzhan, a new NPC, and operations based in Gatehall, a town beneath Kehjistan.
• Vaults Dungeon: A new dungeon type where players combat Constructs and elemental Hazards, culminating in a boss fight against Malphas.
• Seneschal Companion: The first AI companion in Diablo 4, a Construct which can be customized with Governing and Tuning Stones to enhance its abilities.
• Constructs: A new robot-like monster family with various forms and elemental effects.
• Arcane Tremors: Events sending waves of Constructs into the overworld, with Elite Constructs dropping Shattered Stones and Pearls of Warding.
• The Gauntlet: A leaderboard-driven challenge dungeon, similar to Diablo 3's Greater Rifts, set to be introduced during the season.

Season 3's Vault dungeons are key to finding Governing and Tuning Stones for the Seneschal Companion. Players can craft these stones at Jewellers and use Pearls of Warding to increase dungeon risks or craft Vault Sigils for Nightmare Vaults, a more challenging variant.

Blizzard has planned more details on The Gauntlet to be shared later, with a focus on weekly rotations and leaderboard competitions.
