Diablo 4 Season of... the Iron Wolves?
Did we get a hint at Season 4's theme?
Did we just get a hint at what the next Season of Diablo 4 will be? Looking at the assets that are shipped with the Itemization PTR build, we have found a few clues to the Season 4 theme.
The 2DUI_Seasonal_Reputation_UI asset contains what looks like the Season 4 badge, alongside the other Seasons' badges.
To further support this claim, we have also found a new Minimap icon that resembles the same image, accompanied with the signature green leaf.
Season 4 Theme
The icon has many similarities with the Iron Wolves emblem, which might indicate a theme revolved around the Iron Wolves or Mercenaries in general.
Lore
In Diablo 4 we can also find references to the Iron Wolves in the form of
Wolf's Honor
People that have participated in the PTR have also noticed that some enemies grant Wolf's Honor when killed. These can point in the direction of a reputation system similar to previous seasons.
Some other items have also been found to link the Iron Wolves to the Helltide. For example, Iron Wolf Boots read
Sturdy and flame-resistant, for those who would stand toe to toe against the Hellborne.
