With the Vessel of Hatred expansion, a brand-new class known as the Spiritborn will be joining the current Diablo 4 class roster. Exclusive to the jungles of Kurast, the Spiritborn, just like the Druids, draws their powers from the spirits.
However, they’re quite nimble and swift as the Rogues which makes them a hybrid between a tank and a damage dealer.
So, here’s everything you need to know about the Spiritborn class in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred.
Diablo 4 Spiritborn release date
The Spiritborn class will be available in the game once the Vessel of Hatred expansion goes live on October 9, 2024.
While you’ll still be able to access the base game and the other classes once the expansion goes live, the new class will be restricted to players who’ve purchased the expansion only.
Although the class will be available from the very beginning of the campaign, you’ll be able to unlock the different spirits and their powers as you progress through the different missions and level up your character.
