Riven Tides is coming soon to ARC Raiders as the next major update, and it will feature a brand-new map, among other things. Embark has already confirmed the date earlier this month, and this guide will help you keep track of when the update goes live.

With plenty of exciting additions, you certainly won’t want to miss this update.

What to expect from Riven Tides in ARC Raiders

The major highlight of the new patch is the map. For the first time since launch, we will have a new map in ARC Raiders. Embark has slightly teased the buildings that will be present on the map. We will have to wait until Tuesday to get a full blast of the new Topside experience.

Riven Tides will also feature a big ARC enemy, which we haven’t seen since the release of the Matriarch. Whether it will be part of a new map event remains to be seen. We should also get new weapons and items to take on this threat.

Last but not least, look out for new quests that should have extra rewards. As always, we will provide detailed guides for all of them. A new Expedition window will also be active for those who want to experience the endgame. Joining the expedition will reset your inventory, but you’ll get rewards like cosmetics and extra slots to store your loot.

Season 13 and the Lord of Hatred DLC are coming soon to Diablo 4, and this guide will help you keep track of both. The second major DLC for the game since its launch has plenty in store for players to enjoy, but first things first.

Let’s find out when the new season and the DLC go live worldwide.

Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred and Season 13 release countdown

The launch day and time for the DLC and the new season were confirmed earlier by developers Blizzard. The following countdown will expire when the Lord of Hatred DLC becomes available across all platforms. The update drops on April 28 in most regions across the world, with the Americas being the rare exception.

The countdown is based on the following timings.

• 4pm PT (April 27)
• 6pm CT (April 27)
• 7pm ET (April 27)
• 11pm UTC (April 27)
• 12am BT
• 1am CET
• 7am CST
• 8am KST

The timings are unlikely to change this late. Season 13 will go live 30 minutes after the Lord of Hatred DLC becomes available. You’ll need to download an update to enjoy all the new content. Unlike the new season, Lord of Hatred is a paid DLC (unless your existing edition already entitles you to the expansion).

What to expect from Diablo 4 Lord of Hatred DLC

The second expansion will feature you taking your final stance against Mephisto across a new campaign. There are two new classes to master, and you’ll discover plenty while exploring Skovos. That’s not all, as the new expansion also overhauls the endgame as we know it. This will also affect how gear progression has worked so far.

Additionally, the Lord of Hatred DLC is perfect for beginners. It also includes the previously released Vessel of Hatred at no extra cost, so you get to experience both expansions. If you’re yet unsure about whether the new DLC is for you, here’s our review of it.
