The game's PTR (Public Test Realm) has paved the way for players to experiment with early builds, aiding Blizzard in refining the game based on feedback before the official release. An in-progress version of Diablo 4 Season 4 on the PTR has allowed some players to glean insights into the upcoming season prior to its launch.

While gamers anticipate significant gameplay improvements in Season 4, details about the seasonal theme remained elusive until the recent datamine.
