Infernal Hordes in Season 10
Infernal Hordes return in Season 10 as a cornerstone endgame activity, giving players one of the most reliable ways to farm Obducite, Gem Fragments, and high-end loot. Unlike many seasonal systems, the updates introduced here will remain as a permanent feature in Diablo 4 even after the season ends, making it a long-term addition to the game’s progression loop.
Season 10 also brings a brand-new boss fight within Infernal Hordes. Adventurers will face Bartuc, the Vizjerei Warlord, offering both a lore-rich challenge and unique rewards for those who can withstand the relentless waves of enemies leading up to him.
Chaos Rifts in Season 10
Chaos Rifts are a new twist on endgame exploration, spawning portals inside Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons that unleash additional waves of demons into Sanctuary. Entering these rifts offers players a chance at valuable rewards, such as Chaos Armor, gems, bonus experience, and other rare materials.
There are also rare Mythic Chaos Rifts, which function similarly to Mythic Treasure Goblins. These rifts have a small chance to drop Mythic Uniques, making them one of the most lucrative and exciting discoveries in the season.
Reliquaries in Season 10
The Reliquary System expands the Battle Pass by introducing specialized tracks that let players choose what kind of rewards to pursue. These tracks cover everything from mounts and pets to weapons and armor, giving players more agency over how they progress through seasonal rewards.
By prioritizing specific Reliquary paths, adventurers can focus on unlocking the items that matter most to their playstyle. This system ensures that no two players’ seasonal journeys need to look exactly alike, adding personalization to the grind for rewards.
New Unique Items in Season 10

Season Transition Details
With the arrival of Diablo 4 Season 10, players can expect a smooth transition from Season 9. Just like in previous updates, all existing seasonal characters from Season 9 will automatically move into the Eternal Realm once the new season begins. To enjoy the fresh content of Season 10, players will need to create a brand-new seasonal character.
All items from Season 9 characters will be transferred into a special Withdraw Only tab located in the Eternal Realm Stash. This gives players the chance to collect and preserve their rewards from the previous season. However, it’s important to note that any items left behind in this temporary stash will be lost permanently once Season 10 ends.
This system ensures that each new season begins on equal footing, while still giving adventurers the opportunity to secure their hard-earned loot from past gameplay. Make sure to move your valuables promptly to avoid losing rare gear or crafting materials.
Conclusion
Diablo 4 Season 10 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious updates yet, bringing fresh systems like Chaos Perks, new Chaos Armor, Infernal Hordes, and Chaos Rifts, along with an exciting set of new Unique items for every class. With the introduction of Reliquaries and a structured season transition, players can expect both new challenges and smoother progression.
