Developers have scheduled Diablo 4’s next Season 5 livestream for early August; the broadcast will provide an overview of all post-PTR changes.
Diablo 4 Season 5: Return to Hell is right around the corner, being that it’s scheduled to arrive on Tuesday, August 6.
The next seasonal update will unleash a new endgame mode, Infernal Hordes, another batch of Uniques and Legendary Aspects, and numerous gameplay changes for all five character classes.
Blizzard hosted a PTR in late June to gather user feedback about the forthcoming update, and early Season 5 patch notes indicate the development team took much of that feedback to heart. Players can expect to receive even more details during the season’s livestream.
Diablo 4 Season 5 livestream date
Following a tentative announcement from Global Community Development Director Adam Fletcher, Blizzard has confirmed plans to host a Season 5 Developer Update on Thursday, August 1.
As with previous Diablo 4-dedicated streams, the broadcast will begin at 11:00 AM PT / 2:00 PM EST.
Those interested in watching the stream live can do so via Diablo 4’s official Twitch, Twitter/X, and YouTube channels.

What to expect from the Season 5 livestream
According to Blizzard News, Community Manager Marcus Kretz will host the August 1 broadcast, which will also feature Adam Fletcher and other members of the crew.
Viewers can expect the update to cover “systems, balance updates, and feedback learnings from [the Season 5] PTR.”
A Q&A segment will occur at the end of the stream, allowing developers to answer questions directly from the audience.
Notably, Season 5 will constitute a shorter season than normal, ending on October 8 to make way for the simultaneous launches of Season 6 and the eagerly-anticipated Vessel of Hatred expansion. Very little is known about what Season 6 will entail.
