Blizzard is set to re-evaluate the impact of damage numbers in Diablo 4 with the upcoming Lord of Hatred expansion. To ensure that the once "outrageous" damage figures regain significance, the developers are introducing significantly higher difficulty settings, pushing the game towards near-impossible challenges. This move is intended to provide players with an exceptionally tough experience, promising a truly formidable undertaking.

The promotional key art for the Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred expansion showcases a terrifying, gaunt demon. Swirling crimson clouds envelop this creature, which is depicted with sinewy red and black flesh. Its formidable visage is a skull adorned with colossal, twisted horns and piercing bright red eyes, hinting at the intense challenges players will face.
