In Diablo 4’s 2.0 update<\/a>, which arrives at the same time as Vessel of Hatred<\/a>, Blizzard is making sweeping changes to core game mechanics. We’ve already talked about the level squish and the new Realm-wide Paragon level system<\/a>, and now, it’s time to explain the new Diablo 4 difficulty levels.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that these new difficulties will be available on 8 October 2024, regardless if you decide to purchase the expansion or not. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s dive in!<\/p>\n

With Diablo 4 update 2.0, World Tiers will be a thing of the past. You will now have Difficulty Levels, and the first four are known as standard difficulties, meant for the level-up experience. The standard difficulties are  Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent.<\/p>\n

You’ll be able to level up to the new maximum of level 60 at your own pace, choosing one of the four difficulty levels. Check out explanations of the options as per Blizzard’s PTR patch notes below:<\/p>\n
