Season 7 of Diablo 4, the Season of Witchcraft, comes with some big changes to the Season Journey! If you have not completed your journey yet or are just curious about what is new, here is everything you need to know about the differences this time around and what challenges and rewards await.
What Has Changed for This Season’s Journey?
A Tougher Final Chapter but No Uber Bosses
The final chapter of this season’s journey is a bit more complex than what we have seen before. However, unlike previous seasons, the two fan-favorite bosses Duriel and Andariel are not required for completion of the last chapter. Instead, the focus has switched to new challenges and objectives. You can now pick which of the Lair Bosses you defeat, instead of being forced to focus on the 2 ‘Uber Bosses’. Some of the chapter changes might feel tedious, but they help keep things fresh for both veterans and newcomers alike.
Class Archetype Caches
One of the more interesting changes this season is the addition of Class Archetype Caches as rewards. These caches offer gear and items specific to the class you complete the chapter with, making them especially useful if you complete the chapters early on in your leveling journey.
Dorian the Raven, a New Companion
Completing the entire Season Journey will reward you with Dorian the Raven, an exclusive pet. Not only does Dorian look amazing, but it’s also a great way to show off your hard work this season.
Torment IV for the Final Chapter
As mentioned earlier, the final chapter this season brings a significant challenge: most objectives must now be completed on Torment IV difficulty. While this may not sound daunting to some players, it will be a higher bar for many, as it demands better optimization and gear compared to previous Season Journeys. On the bright side, it’s a great incentive to fine-tune your build and improve your skills as you push toward completing these tougher objectives.
Overall, these changes make the Season Journey feel more rewarding and engaging than ever. For players who have experienced every season so far, it’s something new to sink your teeth into. And let’s be honest, Dorian the Raven is a fun reward that most of us will want to earn, providing a solid goal to work toward. Season 7 has plenty to keep everyone busy and entertained, so good luck out there!
