Diablo 4 Season 5, Season of the Infernal Hordes, is coming August 6, and it's bringing with it a new endgame activity, major class changes, increased XP gains, and reworks to nearly every Unique item in the game.

The big new addition is the new Infernal Hordes feature, an endgame activity that is being introduced in Season 5 but will be playable on the game's Eternal Realm in addition to its Seasonal Realm. It's a wave-based game mode where players will be able to choose "boons and banes" as they progress through the waves, making for a roguelite experience. Defeating the final boss at the end of the waves of enemies will let players pick between a number of different rewards, including Masterworking materials for upgrading items and even an item with a guaranteed Greater Affix roll.

Infernal Hordes, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. A new type of dungeon meant to introduce some of the mechanics of Infernal Hordes, Hellbreach dungeons, will also be added. Completing these will progress a new Reputation track, The Mother's Gift, which has been overhauled compared to previous seasonal Reputations to have better rewards, more ways to earn reputation, and be the main way players will progress the seasonal storyline.
