Blizzard announced during today’s Xbox Games Showcase that Diablo IV’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, is launching on October 8.

The expansion will add a new (yet announced) character class and continues the story from the base game, seemingly setting up a confrontation with the Lord of Hatred, Mephisto.

Diablo IV launched last summer and has had a stream of new content since release, but this expansion will be the biggest, well, expansion to the RPG yet.
