As most players know, Reddit is home to ongoing discussions and debates between Diablo 4 players, and one recent post has, once again, highlighted a familiar frustration: seasonal powers that disappear forever. With Infernal Hordes already confirmed to be getting a rework in Season 10, players are now suggesting a new way to bring those powers back.
The idea? Let players earn random past seasonal powers as boons while progressing through Infernal Hordes. It would not only give older mechanics a second life, but also add more variety and replayability to the mode itself.
Roguelite Systems in Diablo 4?
One commenter compared the idea to a roguelite progression system:
“Start without anything, then each wave you get to pick a gear piece, a skill, or a rune/power.”
There were also mentions of WoW’s Torghast (a dungeon crawl with randomized upgrades) or even Diablo 3’s Kanai’s Cube, which allowed players to equip legendary powers and create new builds from past content.
Of course, nothing is confirmed, and this is all just wishful thinking. However, Blizzard has already said that a rework for Infernal Hordes is coming in Season 10, so suggestions like this may be arriving at the perfect time.
Why It Could Work
Theoretically, these suggestions could also solve two problems at once:
- Give Infernal Hordes more variety
- Bring back fan-favorite powers instead of letting them disappear
And while there are, of course, no official responses about anything Infernal Hordes related just yet, ideas like this could help the game feel more rewarding and less seasonal-power dependent.

Concerns About Balance
Not everyone agrees, of course. Some players pointed out that many seasonal powers are reused or rebranded, and that balance would still be a big issue:
- Would it just lead to more one-shot builds?
- Is it worth adding until the core game systems feel more stable?
Still, the overall reaction to the idea was positive, and with Season 10 already in development, many players are hoping Blizzard will consider ideas like this before the rework goes live.
