New Content in Diablo 4 Season 7
The Season of Witchcraft promises a wealth of new content for players to explore. Central to this season is a Seasonal Questline that revolves around the Witches of Hawezar and the Tree of Whispers.

In addition to the new powers, Season 7 introduces Occult Gems. These socketable items are designed to complement the witchcraft powers and can be obtained through interactions with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers, emphasizing the significance of this location during the season.
The Season of Witchcraft Battle Pass is another highlight, featuring 90 Reward Tiers. Like previous seasons, it includes both a free and a premium track, offering players a variety of new cosmetic items to collect and showcase.
Lastly, the introduction of the Armory, a permanent feature debuting with Season 7, allows players to switch between builds swiftly. This addition is set to revolutionize how players manage their characters, making it easier than ever to experiment with different playstyles.
