Diablo 4 encounters some last-minute issues that lead to a delay in the simultaneous global launch of Vessel of Hatred, its first expansion pack.

If you're just jumping back into Diablo 4 for Vessel of Hatred, or you're just sure of the changes for Season 6, here's a good starter guide on how to tackle the content and how to level up as efficiently as possible.

In a post on the Blizzard forums announcing the delay, Diablo community manager Adam Fletcher stated a "small technical issue" was to blame, one that needed to be resolved in order for players to start at the same time across all platforms. Blizzard is hoping to have the Diablo 4 servers back up and running this evening, Fletcher said.
