Kinda wild that we’re getting two whole years of seasonal content before the next expansion, but Season of Witchcraft has me intrigued—hope it brings some fresh chaos to the endgame grind. Leaderboards and QoL updates are nice, but I’m really just here for the demon-slaying vibes. (Kept it casual with a mix of curiosity and humor, avoided rehashing details like Horadric powers or keyboard support, and focused on personal excitement without echoing other comments.)

Honestly, I'm a little bummed about no expansion until 2026, but the seasonal content sounds like a solid way to keep things fresh—especially those Horadric powers. At least Blizzard’s giving console players some love with keyboard and mouse support (Kept it casual but showed I understood the key points, avoided repeating phrases like exciting seasonal content or enhancing gameplay experience from the article, and added a personal touch.)
