Diablo 4 Season 5 is coming soon, and while we haven’t received an official announcement about the theme and season mechanics, we’ve discovered some exciting changes in Public Test Realm that will greatly enhance our gaming experience. Here, we’ll talk about 10 things you may not know about Season 5, which are really surprising.

1. Player Bars
First of all, the developers added a new feature to UI Player Bars, which is a feature that players have been waiting for, and now it is finally here. You can easily track the health and resources of your character, making it easier to manage your gameplay without constantly checking the corner of the screen.
However, the color choice of these bars has caused some controversy. Therefore, I hope that the developers will allow players to customize Player Bars or at least keep Health Bar red to prevent players from ignoring it.
2. Mythic Unique
We all know that there is a kind of Uber Uniques in Season 5 that is undergoing a major transformation. Now they are called Mythic Uniques, and this update will make it easier to distinguish these special items from regular Diablo 4 items.
In addition, the new Mythic Uniques will come with a unique purple beam and sound effect when they drop, making them more eye-catching. This change is designed to make finding these rare items more exciting.
3. Combat Status Settings
Since the release of Diablo 4, players have been asking the developers to add the ability to disable combat status indicators, which would avoid cluttering the screen during combat.
While the developers introduced a basic option to turn off damage numbers or all status indicators, it was very limited. However, with the arrival of Season 5, we will finally have full control over the information and status indicators that appear on the screen during combat. You will be able to customize what you want to see.
4. New Accessibility Features
Season 5 will also introduce some great new accessibility features to make your game play smoother. Auto-Pin Navigation Feature will automatically place Map Pin on your selected mission. Your mini-map will show a route to follow, and finding your objective will be a breeze.
With Audio Navigation Assistance, you’ll get spatial audio pings, which will guide you to fixed locations for the best experience. Don’t forget to use headphones, you can adjust the volume and ping intervals to your liking.
The on-screen compass will point to your virtual world pin, and you can even customize the arrow color to make sure it stands out when fighting demons.
5. Dungeon Boss Replay
Next, let’s talk about an exciting change, which is that replaying dungeon bosses is about to get a major upgrade. Before, if you wanted to face the boss again, you had to reset the entire dungeon or even leave it before jumping back in.
But with the upcoming update, you will be able to replay any dungeon boss immediately after defeating them by summoning Altar. You don’t have to reset or exit, just use some resources to get back into the action. This change will make boss grinding more efficient and fun, and also greatly increase the speed at which we farm Diablo 4 Gold.
6. Summoning Varshan Is Now Easier
Summoning Varshan is now easier, no longer requiring Gurgling Head, Blackened Femur and Trembling Hand, and only using Malignant Hearts. Are you ready? This change will simplify the process of summoning Varshan, making it easier for you to focus on the battle instead of wasting more time looking for rare materials.
7. Endgame Boss Drops Gold
As Endgame Bosses get more difficult, the rewards they drop are getting better. Besides some rare items, you can also find extra Diablo 4 Gold in their drops.
It’s time to get rich! This change can finally solve the long-standing player complaints about the scarcity of gold in the game, making it easier for you to accumulate wealth and prepare for greater challenges.
8. Beast In Ice Dungeon Revamp
Beast in Ice Dungeon will be revamped in Season 5. It will now function like a standard dungeon, no longer requiring crafting Sigils to enter. In addition, the battle will be closer to the entrance, and Diablo 4 summoning materials such as Sigil Powder will no longer be required. This is another big change that will make it much easier to get into and enjoy this boss fight.
9. World Bosses Getting Buffs
World Bosses are getting buffs and they are now more resistant to damage. So be prepared to assemble your best squad to face these tougher enemies. This is a much needed change, especially since the developers previously neglected these World Bosses, causing their difficulty to become a joke among players.
10. Use Potions While Stuck In Crowd Control
Finally, you will be able to use potions while you are stuck in Crowd Control. This means you will no longer be helplessly watching your health drop while Stunned or Frozen, and this change definitely makes things easier.
Do you think it might allow you to win challenges smoothly? Are you happy with this new convenience? Or do you think it is a tweak that is too far-fetched?
That’s all we know about the 10 quality of life changes coming to Season 5. Which of these changes are you most excited about, and do these updates sound promising to you? Don’t forget that all the details on Season 5 will be revealed during Campfire Chat scheduled for Thursday, August 1st, so see you there!
