The next season, which starts on March 11, will focus on slaying hundreds of demons in a row and eventually becoming a demon yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t become just any demon though. Kill enough monsters quickly enough and you&#8217;ll transform into the Butcher, Mr. Fresh Meat himself, with a whole new set of abilities. The Season of Slaughter will introduce a unique open world event where killing monsters will drop a currency you can cash in to become the Butcher.<\/p>\n<p>Diablo 4 may have changed a lot over the years, but it still has the most absurdly grotesque names you can think of, so you won&#8217;t be surprised to learn that monsters drop &#8220;Meaty Offerings&#8221; that need to be turned into a &#8220;Shrine of Slaughter&#8221; to enter Butcher mode. Blizzard hasn&#8217;t said what kind of skills you&#8217;ll get to play with when you&#8217;re a Butcher, but there&#8217;s no way it won&#8217;t involve hooking enemies into you and chopping them up with your cleavers.<\/p>\n<p>The Butcher event will only show up in regions taken over by the enhanced Helltide monsters. Unfortunately, this means you won&#8217;t be able to fight the Butcher <em>as<\/em> the Butcher because he can only ambush you inside dungeons. It <em>will <\/em>be possible to fight against another player who has turned into a Butcher in the PvP areas. A unique version of the event where repeated kills turn you into the Butcher will spawn in them, giving you an actual reason to visit these normally empty zones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/TnMH3ig3PRY\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Playing as the Butcher will presumably make it much easier to mow through enemies and activate the season&#8217;s unique powers by maintaining a killstreak. For the duration of the season, you&#8217;ll build up a killstreak as you slay monsters and activate unique buffs on special &#8220;Bloodied&#8221; items. These can give you things like movement speed, cooldown reduction, and a higher chance to drop specific items.<\/p>\n<p>With the Lord of Hatred expansion coming out so soon, I was ready to put Diablo 4 on hold for a bit, but the amount of bizarre stuff Blizzard has packed into this season has me excited to at least try it out. I feel like it&#8217;s intentionally playing with some ideas that might show up again in the future, like the new &#8220;Bloodied Sigils&#8221; that essentially increase the difficulty of dungeons and bosses higher than you can normally go. It&#8217;s a great time to experiment with some new ideas before the expansion drops on April 28.<\/p>\n<p>The Season of Slaughter begins on March 11 and will kick off with a week-long event where you can <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/blizzard-is-giving-away-access-to-paladins-for-free-at-the-start-of-diablo-4s-next-season\/\">play a paladin for free<\/a> without having Lord of Hatred pre-ordered.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"19c65e23-ef96-41f0-a6b9-12855d3c6777\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:661px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:98.94%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"6offQUY4CXebir2TC27dMd\" name=\"kingdom come 2 square\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/diablo-4-will-let-you-transform-into-its-most-fearsome-demon-the-butcher-in-an-experimental-mini-season-before-lord-of-hatred-drops.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"661\" height=\"654\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-pc-games-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"19c65e23-ef96-41f0-a6b9-12855d3c6777\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2026 games\" data-dimension48=\"2026 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2026 games<\/strong><\/a>: All the upcoming games<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/diablo-4-will-let-you-transform-into-its-most-fearsome-demon-the-butcher-in-an-experimental-mini-season-before-lord-of-hatred-drops\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a little over a month before Diablo 4&#8217;s second expansion, Lord of Hatred, comes out, Blizzard seems to be experimenting a little with the game&#8217;s usual seasonal format.
