Diablo’sboss Rod Fergusson has confirmed that players who own the DLCVessel of Hatredwill be provided with exclusive features going forward. This means that players with just the base or the Game Pass version will not have the same privilege.

This is a big gamble by Fergusson, which might just work in the game’s favor since it can encourage more fans to become a part of the DLC to enjoy exclusive features.

Diablo 4Vessel of HatredOwners Are In For A Treat

Diablo 4resets with every season, and you have to start from scratch each time a season ends. We are currently in Season 6 of the game, and to maintain the same timeline, it was also released at the same time as theVessel of Hatredexpansion so players can roll as a Spiritborn, which is exclusive to DLC owners.

Vessel of Hatredowners will get exclusive benefits in the next season of the game as well. It is anticipated that all of the seasonal content will be unlocked for them. Fergusson believes that doing so enables players tofeel a sense of value for their purchase.

Speaking to Polygon, Fergusson talked about his motivation to do so. Hesaid:

That’s why we launched at the beginning of Season 6, so you could roll a Spiritborn as your new thing. So it can feel like a little bit like this expansion is just a single moment in time, and I just wanted to highlight that that’s not the case. We’re going to continue to develop features that will be, essentially, exclusive to Vessel of Hatred owners.

Extending the value for purchase beyond one season is a gamble. There is a high chance that it might prove to be the worst thing for the game, but there is also a high chance that it just might work in its favor.

It Is Still Not Clear What Benefits Will DLC Owners Get Exactly

Fergusson did not touch upon the exact features that might be exclusively available to the DLC owners. He would rather it be a surprise until release to generate more hype.

Diablo 4is currently going through a promotional push. The base game as well as the DLC expansionVessel of Hatredare currently on sale. Starting November 19, players will also get a chance to choose one character for free and boost it to level 30. Players will also get a chance to try the Spiritborn class up to level 25 from the DLC for free. The offer will be valid from November 19 to December 2.

This is an attempt to lure more players to the game by giving them a little taste of what it might feel like to actually own it, which might also be a huge gamble at the same time.
