Diablo IV Vessel of Hatred Adds Mercenaries and The Dark Citadel
wccftech.comThe brand-new Spiritborn class received a deep-dive livestream about a month ago, during which the Diablo IV developers explored what makes it so unique. It has a ton of utility and variety, allowing players to play aggressively or defensively, depending on their preference.

In addition to the Spiritborn class being added to Diablo IV, players will now experience the Mercenaries feature. This allows players to meet companions that can accompany them in battle.
