Roguelikes! They’re all the rage lately, whether it’s a pure run-based game likeHades 2, a devilish combination with something like the settlement-management ofCult of the Lambor the application of the genre’s live-die-live-again loop to add a new bit of spice to a familiar series like The Rogue Prince of Persia. Into that last category comes a new contender:Diablo 4, which will soon introduce a new wave-based roguelike mode in its next season.

Diablo 4 - Which Class Is Best?
Infernal Hordesis a mixture of roguelike progression - here you’ll be collecting the very Diablo-named resource of Burning Aether to buy new gear at the end of a run - and a classic horde mode, with gangs of enemies arriving in 90-second waves. If you survive a wave and mop up any last foes, you’ll get to pick between three Infernal Offers - temporary upgrades for that run that offer potential bonuses for additional challenge - before moving onto the next wave of baddies.
The Infernal Hordes mode will debut inDiablo 4’s Season 5, which will be available to try for yourself from tomorrow, June 25th, for a week via the APRG’s Public Test Realm. After that, it’ll arrive in Season 5 proper with any necessary tweaks made in response to the test feedback.
Season 5 will debut a new post-campaign questline called The Eyes of the Enemy, which you’ll need to complete to gain the Infernal Compass needed to play the horde mode. Elsewhere in the update will be new legendaries, uniques and items, which can drop anywhere but will have a higher drop rate in the Infernal Hordes mode.
