The expansion removes Cruel and Merciless. After travelling to Oriath in Act 5, the exile returns to Wraeclast in Acts 6 to 10, revisiting familiar lands and slaying the once suppressed gods that have awoken since confronting the Beast in Act 4. Campaigning is divided into two parts: Part 1 being Acts 1 to 5 and Part 2 being Acts 6 to 10. Both parts follows a similar progression; players visit roughly the same areas but their deeds in part one have had consequences that will have to be faced in part two.

Resistance reduction and experience loss on death which were previously tied to difficulty had its functionality changed. Players gain a permanent resistance loss after completing Acts 5 and 10, and experience loss is based on the zone you are in, split between Part 1, Part 2, and Epilogue.

Defeating the gods in Part 2 unlocks their power, providing passive defensive bonuses. There are eleven gods which grant their power; four major gods and seven minor gods. Players may equip a major god and a minor god's power at one time. These bonuses can be swapped in town freely. In addition, Pantheon bonuses can be upgraded by capturing the soul of certain map bosses with a Divine Vessel.

The Harbinger leagues are the new challenge leagues, released alongside the expansion.
