What to expect from the May 22 Campfire Chat

The highlight of this Campfire Chat is the 2.3.0 Public Test Realm (PTR), which will introduce several new gameplay elements and system improvements in preparation for Diablo 4’s upcoming season.

While the full patch notes have not yet been released to the public, Blizzard has already teased some of the key features that will be discussed during the livestream.

1) Sins of the Horadrim

A major new feature titled Sins of the Horadrim is expected to be the centerpiece of the upcoming update.

While exact details are still under wraps, the name suggests a deeper narrative tie-in with the lore-rich Horadrim faction. This could involve new story-driven content or a fresh system to further empower the characters.

2) Dungeon Escalation activity

Blizzard will also detail the new Dungeon Escalation activity, a feature likely designed to expand upon the current endgame dungeon experiences.

Whether this involves scaling difficulty, dynamic modifiers, or tiered dungeon mechanics, the Campfire Chat should shed some light on how this system will work and how players will be able to interact with it during the PTR itself.

3) Balance changes and system updates

As with previous PTR previews, Blizzard is expected to walk through class adjustments, item balancing, and overall gameplay tuning aimed at improving build diversity and overall game health. These updates may address community feedback from Season 8 and offer insights into what the developers are prioritizing going into future seasons of Diablo 4.

While these changes may be the primary focus of discussion, like the previous PTR, we can expect some improvements over the overall quality of life (QOL).

4) Live Q&A segment

To wrap up the stream, Blizzard will host a live question-and-answer session, offering players a chance to pose their most pressing questions directly to the team. This has become a staple of Campfire Chats and often provides candid developer insights and clarifications on concerns of the Diablo community.

Why this Campfire Chat matters

The May 22 Campfire Chat is more than just a preview — it’s a chance for the community to get involved early in shaping the direction of Diablo 4’s next seasonal chapter.

With the 2.3.0 PTR launching soon after the broadcast (exclusive to PC Battle.net users), players will get the opportunity to test the next chapter of Diablo 4, provide feedback, and help ensure a smooth launch when the patch goes live.
