Blizzard names Diablo 4 Season of Death Awakening, sets June 23 livestream

Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 season 14 is called the Season of Death Awakening and announced a developer livestream on June 23, 2026 at 11am PT, 2pm ET and 7pm BST. The studio said this will be the first new season since the Lord of Hatred expansion launched alongside season 13, the Season of Reckoning.

Major updates will include the new Mythic Uniques item rework, class balancing, and the official launch of the Tower and Leaderboards, alongside quality-of-life changes such as Party War Plans, Solo Self Found, crafting upgrades, and higher currency caps. There will be a Q&A at the end of the stream, and a Twitch drop will award the Falx Infectus sword cosmetic to anyone who watches for 30 minutes, while Blizzard teases the return of "a familiar adversary." Players who tried the PTR have reacted in opposing ways.

The Diablo Forums contain threads titled "Season 14 Is Exactly What Diablo 4 Needs" and "Season 14 Is Awful" (the latter with several removed posts), and the Diablo 4 subreddit shows a similar split among players.
