Contrary to Diablo IIIplayers cannot change the difficulty of the game in Diablo IV enter the session menu. Instead, there’s a new way for players to increase or decrease the difficulty of their game. Once you’ve passed the Prologue chapter, you’ll find yourself in Kyovashad. From there you can walk straight north and head towards a statue of Inarius. It is labeled as the world level statue. Click on this statue to reveal the different difficulty levels available in Diablo IV.

This statue can change the difficulty of the game from Diablo IV without the need to create a whole new session. However, the harder difficulties have certain conditions that must be met in order to access them. This includes completing certain dungeons related to story quests on a specific difficulty. Increasing the difficulty will make the game harder by default, but will give players better rewards. This includes dropping gear of higher rarity, higher experience and difficulty, and dropping other valuable items.

Note though that if you are part of a party, all members will need to be in town with the accompanying World Tier Statue for this to take effect. Also, if you change the difficulty of your game, any portals you have opened to return to town will be closed. This means that if you are in a dungeon and you go back to change the difficulty, that portal will close.

Diablo IV will launch on June 6, 2023 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and its Early Access Beta Weekend will run from March 17-20, 2023. The Open Beta will run from March 24-27, 2023.
