Ahead of the launch of the Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred expansion on Xbox this October, Blizzard has officially revealed the first gameplay footage of the new expansion class known as the Spiritborn. This class calls upon the unique strengths of “Jaguar, Gorilla, Eagle, and Centipede Spirit Guardians”, as you can see in the trailer above.

The video not only contains a story cinematic, but we also get our very first look at some proper gameplay of this new class. Here’s a bit extra about it (via Blizzard’s announcement), and you can get the full rundown about the Spiritborn on its official website:

“Spiritborn are versatile warriors who fuse devastating three-hit-combo attacks and acrobatic fluidity into a potent display of their ferocity. They are masters of hand-to-hand combat, doling out lethality at close range through the ability to extend their wrath with the aid of spirit energy and their favored demon-slaying implement, the glaive. Their physical prowess allows them to block or dodge incoming strikes, absorbing this power for themselves or redirecting it back at their aggressors.”

The Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred expansion and new class will launch for Xbox Series X|S on October 8th, 2024.
