Diablo 4 New Uniques: Season 4: Loot Reborn

Diablo 4’s fourth season, Loot Reborn, is here. Released on May 14, 2024, Season 4 promises to be the biggest update Blizzard has ever made to Diablo 4 since launch. Instead of focusing on a meaty new story and locations, Season 4: Loot Reborn focuses on overhauling the core systems of the game, including items and Uniques.  

While here we cover all Diablo 4 Uniques currently in-game, this guide focuses on the new Uniques released with Season 4.

Diablo 4 Season 4 New Uniques

With the release of Season of the Loot Reborn, Blizzard released the full patch notes featuring all the changes planned for the season, including its twelve new Uniques, including one Uber Unique:

By the way, it almost feels like Blizzard is following a pattern when it comes to the number of new Uniques released per season:

• Season 1: 6 new Uniques
• Season 2: 12 new Uniques
• Season 3: 6 new Uniques
• Season 4: 12 new Uniques

Is Blizzard releasing enough new Uniques?

There were many complaints regarding the limited number of new Uniques released on Season 1 (only 6), especially compared to the 54 Uniques released at launch. But it was unreasonable to expect much more from the very first Season of a brand-new live-service game. Even Blizzard recognized that Season 1 was developed alongside the base game, meaning that very few resources were actually dedicated to Season of the Malignant compared to the development of the core Diablo 4 experience.

While we will never see as many new Uniques in a single season compared to Diablo 4’s launch, we have definitely seen an improvement. Rob Ferguson, Diablo 4’s General Manager, promised as much in an interview with Forbes back when Season 1 launched:

From a management of expectations perspective, when we talk about how the launch of Diablo 4 is the beginning, not the end because we have a live service, that’s one of the things people should think about with seasons as well…The reality is, this is our first season that we built while shipping [Diablo 4] at the exact same time…This is the beginning of our seasonal journey in terms of where we can go from here.

But will we ever seen more than 12 new Uniques in a single season (discounting full-blown DLCs)?
