If you are excited about the complete rework and extra content with the Diablo 4 Patch 2.0 and Vessel of Hatred DLC’s release, you must know when exactly the game goes live and the download size to plan things out. This is where my Diablo 4 2.0 release and preload date, time, countdown, and download size guide come in handy.
Diablo 4 is finally getting its most awaited paid expansion, Vessel of Hatred, continuing the game’s main story centered around Mephisto.
Apart from the story, the expansion will add the new Class Spiritborn, a complete rework of several game mechanics, features, drops, and other elements, and introduce a ton of content.
While the DLC’s campaign is locked behind a paywall, most new features and changes are free for all Diablo 4 owners.
Moreover, since these changes are so major, Diablo 4 will be a whole different game, which is why the expansion and the update that comes with it are titled Diablo 4 2.0.
With that being out of the way, here’s the Diablo 4 2.0 release date, time, and countdown.
