When Diablo 4 Season 8 arrives on April 29, it will dramatically overhaul one core aspect of Diablo 4’s endgame: the boss ladder.
Some of Diablo 4’s best seasons have been ones that, in many ways, aren’t seasons at all. Instead, they bring major, permanent changes to core aspects of Blizzard’s ARPG. Blizzard knows this all too well, as its recent 2025 Diablo 4 roadmap shows that each of the game’s three seasons for the remainder of the year will look to improve various aspects of the core game experience.
That is definitely the case for the boss-focused Season 8: Belial’s Return. It not only brings new bosses into the endgame, including the return of the fan-favorite Belial from Diablo 3, but also makes changes to existing bosses to make them more challenging. It overhauls how to access (and gain loot from) endgame bosses, as well as a few other flourishes to make the whole endgame boss loop more interesting, and rewarding, than before. The icing on top is that defeating each boss will let players harness some of their most-iconic abilities in the form of new seasonal powers that can be incorporated into builds for game-changing combinations.
