Diablo 4's New Expansion Drops a Fresh Region Worth 20+ Minutes of Your Time

Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred is bringing a brand new area to explore when it launches later this month, and IGN just dropped exclusive gameplay footage that shows exactly what players can expect from the Skovos region.

The footage runs just over 20 minutes and serves as a proper look at how the new zone plays. It culminates in a boss encounter that delivers a climactic end to the segment, giving viewers a taste of the combat encounters they'll face in this expansion.

Lord of Hatred is the second major expansion for Blizzard's 2023 action-RPG, and it arrives on April 28. The expansion includes new story content, enemies, and regions alongside the Skovos location now on display.

IGN has been rolling out exclusive preview content throughout April. Earlier coverage included the opening moments of the expansion, complete with its own boss fight, as well as a look at in-game cinematics that help set up the narrative.

For players who haven't touched Diablo 4 since its launch or early post-release period, there's substantial story ground to cover before jumping into Lord of Hatred. Catching up on the main campaign and previous narrative beats would be wise before the expansion's April 28 release.

More exclusive content is expected to arrive in the days before launch, so viewers looking for deeper dives into Lord of Hatred's systems, mechanics, and story should stay tuned as the release window tightens.
