After a bit of a wait, Blizzard has officially set a date for the next Diablo 4 livestream. The focus of the show will, unsurprisingly, be on Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim. Season 9 kicks off in about a week, so it’s almost time for one last look at what’s coming.
Of course, this won’t technically be our first-ever look at the new content, as much of it was in the Season 9 PTR (Public Test Realm) held towards the end of May. That said, there are definitely a couple of reasons to tune in.

The Diablo 4 Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim livestream is scheduled for this Friday, June 27. Blizzard has hosted these sort of livestreams on Fridays before, but the developer typically goes for a Thursday – or even earlier in the week – spot.
Regardless, the show will kick off at the usual times: 11am PT, 2pm ET, 7pm BST. You’ll be able to watch it on all the official Diablo channels – YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, and TikTok. The livestream will offer one final look at Sins of the Horadrim, which is set to arrive on June 30.
More specifically, we’ll get an updated look at the new seasonal questline, new battle pass, the Horadric Spellcraft mechanic, Escalating Nightmares endgame activity, and more. This will also be a great opportunity to see what’s actually changed based on PTR feedback.

As usual, we’re also also getting a preview of the higher-level balance changes coming with Season 9, both for characters as well as general gameplay. Several members of the Diablo 4 development team will be guiding us through the showcase, and there’s going to be a Q&A segment to close it off.
Blizzard is also bringing back the post-show Sanctuary Sitdown chat, which will see community host Nacho join Aislyn Hall to talk more about the new season, and answer questions from Discord members.
There’s something new this time, too. Blizzard is offering anyone who watches Diablo 4 on Twitch while the Developer Update is live a free skin. It does not need to be the main Diablo 4 livestream itself, and you only need to watch for 30 minutes to earn the Lacuni’s Pupil two-handed Sorcerer Staff.
